Paralysis

It was around 5:00 clock when I woke up from a non-lucid dream and preceded to write it in my dream journal. After that I decided it was an ideal time for me to attempt to WILD, so I set up my intention and laid down in bed. For a period of about 30-45 minutes I was not able to concentrate on the WILD and fell asleep, but lucky for me when I awoke I kept my eyes closed. With my eyes closed I decided this time I was going to have a lucid dream, and starting breathing rhythmically and counting 1 I am dreaming, 2 I am dreaming, 3 I am dreaming, 4 I am dreaming then back to 1 and so on. Not soon after I starting feeling the paralysis take hold, trying not to be distracted by it I focused back on counting as the vibrations and paralysis grew stronger. The paralysis reached the point where the vibrations were so strong that I felt as if I was being rushed up at a really fast speed, and as a result I pretty much lost all connection to my body at the point. I remembering hear a loud crashing sound right before I dissociated with my body, but the odd thing that thing was my entrance out of my body was not as smooth as I expected it would be, it was almost like my dream body and physical body got tangled on the way out. After I let my body I started floating up, and next thing I knew the blackness turned into sky and I was flying. The feeling was amazing, and I saw a brick building below so I flew around it and noticed it was some kind of out door restaurant with people sitting at tables. I decided to fly down to where the tables where, and I decided wanted to find a beautiful girl but all I saw were older people that did not intrest me. So I demanded to my dream I wanted to find the girl I was looking for and next thing I know I see her sitting at table looking at me. All the other DC's seemed to be staring at me too, like waiting for my to do something (probably a result of watching Inception so many times), and just as I focused back on the girl my dream started fading and I was staring at blackness. After I awoke I was re-energized and felt so happy about what just happened, but I realized that I forgot to do a reality check and forgot to stabilize the dream, which probably was the because of the dreaming ending early. So now I made commitment that when I induce another lucid dream the first thing to do is to STABILIZE!!!
