Paralysis

Here is the summary: Total: Dream: 985 LD: 93 SP: 30 This (last) week: Dream: 17 LD: 0 SP: 1 (That sleep paralysis was not scary or anything, I just could not move and that was it) I finally got lucid dream again, and not just one but two and for the same night, too. I tried to do the bonus ToTM (flipping the world upside down) twice, but I did not succeed. I am dumb because I was supposed to do the others first, as they are easier and actually possible for me, but okay then... It was fun though. Here are the dreams: #1The dream begann non-lucid. I was in some underground cave. It was full of water but I could see and breathe just well. It looked like <PERSON>... I was swimming (diving?) around and tried to find exit at some point. I started controlling my actions more and more until I just thought that yeah, this is a lucid dream now. I tried to do the world flipping thing but I got something horribly wrong because I flipped MYSELF, not the world. But the world seems to be upside down on my perspective, so it counts, right? No (or does it??). Okay, I guess it could have worked in some way actually, but it did not. I tried to keep that pose for a while. It was interesting. Then I woke up. #2 I got another dream right away (<PERSON>? Was it?). I was in the same world (I just knew) but not in the water this time. I tried to do it on ground. I did not have that much control that time, but it was still a LD.

If this reminds you of something a friend or a relative told you once and never mentioned again, send them this page. Reading that a stranger described the same thing is usually the part that helps.
