Paralysis

Lucid Part Yes, I most definitely lucid dreamt last night. It was so hazy though :/ Kind Of funny because I could only stay lucid whilst near my bed. Like, if I went to walk off it would stop being lucid. Because if I went to walk off, I would not be able to see myself in the mirror and realise that I was lucid (yay dream logic!). But this sucked because I could not leave to try and go to Sweden, which I seem to always try to do xD It was not too exciting, I just did floating around things and backflips and stuff. I kept on slipping in and out of sleep paralysis (being awake). It was really hard to control. [...] I took IE's advice and tried to feel how real breathing and stuff felt. It felt like the real thing. Non-lucid Part I was buying cake donuts (wtf are "cake donuts"? xD) in Skelleftea lol on my way to see TW (!). There were lots of Australians at that shop and they were quite annoying :/ That cake looked so delicious though. Music by Karnivool (a damn awesome Perth band) was playing in the background of the shop. I was paying in Australian money, too. Wtf. I wanted four cakes and that would bring my total to $20.25. I gave the chick (who was also Australian) a $50 note (I gave this to her at the start, she wanted it first, and THEN i would buy the cakes) so then i gave her 10c so that she would not have to get heaps of change. But for some reason she only gave me $10 change, as if $20 + $10 = $50. Oh yeah, there was this weird cat trick thing. And it looked after your household if some criminal was going to rob it. It could detect loud music. The cat had to jump onto the windowsill but do a twist on the way (like gymnastics). Then it would grab the ledge and look through the window. Its eyes started glowing and it was scary. It detected loud music or something. The cat was really cute and very well trained. It kept trying and trying to reach the windowsill, and I caught it when it missed. Eventually it grabbed it. Good cat :3 This part of the dream I associate with giants and other worldy houses for some reason. I also associate it with some map that helped detect the criminals.

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 have always wanted to become lucid in a dark scene like this. I am walking on a lonely street on this dark night and see nothing but empty areas. At one point, I felt it to be a dream but
