Paralysis

I slept on the family room couch for this one. Went to bed around 4:30. (Had an earlier nap in which my dream felt like it lasted for 1000 years. It was so nice.) This time, between dreams, I felt no vibrations/sleep paralysis, yet I still felt that wooshing feeling of my "body" accelerating upwards. My head felt intense pressure and a few of the times I "tried" to make myself go up further and it happened, even during the dream. I am not sure why; it did not seem to better the lucidity or anything like that. Each time it happened I thought, "So this is happening...why??" My stability in the dreams was not great. I felt myself waking/about to wake up several times during it, but I persistently went back to sleep. I tried to make the dream more stable a few times, though. I have read about people looking at their hands to do this, so I tried that, but it did nothing. I found that looking at my feet on the floor really helped, sometimes jumping while looking down at them. It would feel clear after that, if only for a minute or so. Several times, though, after all the effort, I was feeling like, "What is the point to all this?" because it was unstable to the point where it felt pointless. In the actual dream, i cannot recall quite what happened. I know there were others "like me" in it. At some point when I was not yet lucid and was in a dream area of my school that I would been in before, I was discussing with someone how lucky the younger kids were to have the school redone for them, just like the middle school. (while we were in the middle school it was under construction until the year after we left, so same kind of thing). Oh my god! Okay, I remember something I really do not want to remember because it involved me feeling really h---y toward another girl, and I was confused in the dream but was like, hey whatever, she is here! It only lasted > a minute because my mouth went somewhere and I felt my teeth touch each other on my physical, sleeping body. (Things like that kept happening, so I must have been 1/4 "out of the dream" or something.) <PERSON> was in my dream, not sure why. There was a sort of sense of danger throughout the dream, or like I was in a sort of competition with high-ish stakes. I do not know. Anyways, at one point I realized, "Wow, I forgot I can fly and get away from all of this." And I just flew up in the air and smiled huge because flying feels so freaking cool. I flew for a long time, so that is the last thing I remember. Things I tried: I finally remembered to try walking through walls. So that was cool, I guess. I went right through like everyone says happens. I tried something else, too, but do not remember what. :/ I think my basic list of things to do has been covered! Basic checklist: -looked at hands -looked in mirror -read -walked through walls -looked at hands -experimented with clocks -met people saying they were 'of the dream world' (not really something i can "try" but including it anyway) Ohhh, I never tried the basic light switch thing! So I will be thinking of more things to do for the next time I am in an LD, hopefully more complex than walking through walls
