Last week I had a sleep paralysis nightmare regarding a former WP member (no, not either of the groomers.) The dream was third-person so I could see myself in bed from up above, but the room looked different. The bed just looked like a dark blue rectangle and I was just a small figure.
This former member entered the room and somehow I knew who it was even though I don't see faces in my dreams and I don't know his face anyway. He wanted to share my bed so he climbed in and was cuddling up to me although not in a sexual way.
I was really uncomfortable and distressed that he was touching me in an attempt to share the blue rectangle bed. I could feel his body (it felt like his arse) pushing up against my backside as if he was facing the other way. I could even feel him breathing and feel his warmth. Then he kept holding onto me like spooning, or touching my hair and my back.
I was trying to kick him away or scream but I had sleep paralysis. I fought so hard to move or kick the living daylights out of him. With all my might I managed to move my right index finger but that didn't make him go away. Then I was trying to say "f*** off" to him. You know how it is when you try to talk in a nightmare but nothing comes out. With inordinate effort I finally forced myself to say "f*** ...." but not "...off". I have a feeling I said f*** out loud in real life, in garbled speech, but I'm not sure.
Then I woke up enough to think perhaps it was my dog making the warm, breathing lump behind me, and my cats walking on me. I contemplated that for a moment but decided no, this was real and there was some man in my bed. I tried to remember if it was my partner but I still couldn't move to roll over and look, and I was quite sure he wasn't there that night. (He wasn't.)
It was terrifying to lie there immobile, actually believing there was a dude in my bed. By then I knew it wasn't the WP person but I still believed someone was there, and I couldn't get away.
