+ LD#205 LUCIDD 205 paralyzed FA: A scene forms before my eyes and I am lying in bed looking at the ceiling and walls of my bedroom. Initially my focus is centered on the light fixtur and I look at it until it comes into clear focus. I notice the central light fixture is wrong, the walls are the wrong color, and the wrong texture. The texture is sort of made from 1-inch wide thin long bands/braids I get lucid (maybe doing nose pinch), but I find I cannot move. The visuals are stable. I struggle a bit to get up, finding I cannot move, and when I start to be able to move (my waking body?) the visuals fade but I remain lucid. I relax and focus on my vision again and the light fixture fades back in again and visuals have returned. The texture on the ceiling/walls has changed to a repeating square pattern including a small bump that sticks out from the surface. I work on moving the blanket off of me in order to get up, while holding my focus on the light fixture to keep things stable, but moving is hard and I can barely make progress to get up. I hear someone doing something on my left in the clothing cabinet [maybe waking sound, not sure] , visuals fade and I am awake.
