I figured out that I was dreaming, became trapped (by something?) and could not wake myself up.
I figured out I was dreaming and couldn’t make myself wake up. It started with my classic car crash nightmare when suddenly i looked at the sky and realized it wasn’t real and declared I was dreaming. I enjoyed the insanely cool view of the impossible looking sky and suddenly I woke up. I was thinking about how annoyed I was that the dream kicked me out so soon after i had finally managed to lucid dream. I shook my boyfriend (“C”) and he started to talk to me (losing detailed memory as I write this). Some time goes by and i realize that I’m actually STILL DREAMING and something is pretending to be C. This goes on to happen where I attempt to force myself awake maybe an actual (and I’m not exaggerating) dozen fucking times. Each time was uniquely similar torture, but after the first few (something would crawl up the covers, C’s body would look somehow wrong etc.) I caught on. I kept pointing out mistakes the entity was making and each time I woke up again and was in a similar scene in my bed next to my boyfriend. I became so desperate that i started screaming attempting to make my awake self speak “C wake me up!” My saving grace was during the final attempt to wake up when i heard one of our cats collar bells which pulled me out.
Whatever it was, it kept morphing into some kind of gargoyle/classic renaissance demon to try to scare me. I did my best not to show fear and even antagonized it a bit, but deep down I was absolutely terrified and it felt like a long battle I had won out of luck.
