Paralysis

Since I did not really start sleeping until 4 in the morning, this is what I am doing. Okay. Weird. I had... at least five dreams about dreaming. Do they count as false awakenings? I am not sure, because I did not really do things that were morning routine-y. Some of them were... no, most of them were about celebrities. It feels like I did not have to remember a lot, but I know that there was some name that I messed up in one of them that supposedly triggered my 'lucidity'. It was like, <PERSON> or something. It started with a... G, I think. It was not very messed up, just the first and last letters were flip-flopped like that. God, I feel like it just happened and I cannot remember it. Weird. I woke up a few times and tried thinking about dreaming when I went back to sleep, only to have really the same impact. It was almost like they were continuations. I think I -thought- I was lucid, but I was not. The last dream that I remember having, I was somehow dating this guy who I really liked. I believe he was <PERSON> from a Korean boy band that I like. It was like I was back at Japanese camp (Which I went to this past summer.) Before that I had a dream about <PERSON>, another member of a boy band I like. My parents were also in that dream. I do believe that I experienced sleep paralysis for the first time while conscious, but it was actually kind of uncomfortable, so in the end I switched positions and lost that feeling. I will try again tonight. I am also starting a hand written dream journal, but I have got to go now. Ciao.

I have been both sick as a dog, and out of town. Dreams have been so crazy. At one point, I was nightmaring lucidly about the Saw movies, which I do not even watch (Saw 1-3, then gave up.),

So I was in this forest. It was all gray and gloomy looking. In a clearing in the forest were a bunch of stone huts. They were tall enough to walk in but you would have had to slouch to fit.

I try to banish a spirit in the name of God. It works about as well as you would expect. I am at a train station, even though I am sure that just a second ago, I was actually on my train. I
