Hey guys.I'll just greentext this shit.
>10am
>Laying down on my living room couch
>Feel a slight tingling in my extremities, but I'm comfy so w/e
>Fall asleep
>I can hear my grandpa(whom I live with) walking through the house
>I can envision exactly how he is walking and everything, I can see it in my mind
>But my eyes are closed
>Have a dream(nightmare) about me standing in my entry hall
>I was with a dog(Black or chocolate lab or something, not my dog)
>The yellow arrows indicate what fields of view I had
>My entire house was dark, like pitch black
>There was a voice in my head that was telling me the dog wouldn't go further
>I was trying to walk through my living room and the dog would not leave the entry hall and he kept whimpering, almost
>I could feel something watching me, or coming close to me from my library and/or my dining room
>I woke up and I found my dog(A little terrier) standing next to me by the couch and she was looking up at me and sniffing me
>I thought it was really weird so I tried going back to sleep, I was a little curious
>My body started to tingle again and the only way I could effectively describe the next feeling is MDMA, ecstasy
>My eardrums popped, like how you get to high elevation
>Then I could feel (myself) pull up from my body
>Literally only about 6 inches
>I sat up almost for about 1/2 a second
>I could see my living room, and everything, but all the colors were paled, to a black and white sense almost
>My vision was tunneled, my peripheral was blurred
>I saw something in my living room
>I can't for the life of me remember what it was
>But it was big, and black
>It spooked me and I "returned" to my body
>I woke up, but my eyes were shut and I couldn't move my body
>I had sleep paralysis for about ten seconds, and could only move my tongue
>Then I got up
And then weird part it, my dog has been following me everywhere and sitting next to me wherever I go.
And, I forgot to mention, at some point during this, I could hear my dog growling, like a low growl, because I could still hear things in my house although I was asleep
Did I almost astral project? Does my dog sense something? What the fuck did I see?
Congrats, you had a lucid dream.
Well, i'm not sure of what could mean (sorry) but i know this kind of thing happened. I had a similar experience while ago and it feels pretty real and also i dreamed about things that were happening at the moment... even i had sleep paralysis like you; however, dreams mean many things so i guess this is subjetive.
Oh, i remembered... it's a popular opinion: if you dream with a black dog you could be in trouble and your brain it's warning you... Hope this helps.
you're still dreaming now, wake up
