I have quite a few lucid dreams most of them pleasant but one I had that really frightened me largely because I couldn't move either (sleep paralysis?). It was late in the night as opposed to early morning because I checked the clock when i finally woke up.
I was lying in my bed next to the bedroom door which opens inwards. I don't like having the door open too wide but don't like having it closed either. Anyway I remember looking at the space in front of the door where anyone entering would appear. I 'saw' a figure standing there looking at me. I couldn't make out the face I 'knew' it wasn't a familiar one and i felt it was a 'menacing' presence. Here's where I realised I was sleeping (or was I just hoping I was alseep?). I could feel my heart starting to beat really loudly and there was a horrible buzzing in my head (this is a common factor when these dreams are bad). I remember thinking 'wake up this is only a dream' literally "wake, up. wake up, wake up". When Eventually I did my heart was pounding and I was drenched in sweat. I was left with a feeling of impending doom for some time after. eeeewwwhh! It gives me the hebe geebees just thinking about it.
