Paralysis
I was having trouble sleeping, and the last time I checked the clock it was past 8 am I and woke up around 9 am, so it was not a long sleep. I was having a normal dream and I realized I was dreaming, I was excited but somehow I was floating over my bed unable to change my position. I almost always have full control over my body when I LD, but this time I had only control over my mind. I ignored that and tried to conjure something behind the door while floating over my bed and failed. Then suddenly I was in my bed thinking I am awake but I was not. I had very painful sensations. I felt like a couple of balls are moving inside my skull, they were moving and crawling under my skin, and I was shaking badly. I also felt hot air coming out of my ears. I cannot remember every sensation now, but I was in so much pain and trying to fight it. I tried to move my body and it made things worse. It all felt so real but I think at some point I realized that it was not because I tried to snap out of it and I woke up. It did not feel like sleep paralysis because that is not how it felt in previous experiences but probably the same person experiences it in many different ways. I failed to sleep after, and I am still awake with only 3 or 4 scattered hours of sleep in the last 34 hours . I opened a discussion about it here including a previous recurrent experience.
I felt funny. This was definitely a dream. I was in a huge empty room with white walls and plain grey pillars. There was a ledge, and on top I noticed a woman. "It is M," I thought, attempti…

So here is what happened. After I read the how to part in the book it was so simple like the book said, and it was almost close to WILD and OBE techniques. I felt already tired that moment s…
