Paralysis
8/15/2013, 22:00-6:45 The dda-ld ("did not-do-anything lucid dream") is a stupid dream where you suddenly have the realization that you are dreaming, but your brain is a d-bag and says, "You know what? Let us not have a lucid dream." and you end up waking yourself up, effectively screwing yourself out of having a lucid dream that you actually do something in, hence the dda-ld. I have actually had many of these stupid dreams in the past. This is just the first one I have decided to post. So here it is, the dda-ld: Key: Lucid Dream Non-lucid dream <PERSON> Up Sleep Paralysis Dream 1: I remember a jellyfish. That is all. The DDA-LD: I then woke up at probably around 3:00 in the morning, having to go to the bathroom. I got up, took a piss, stood around for a few seconds for the WBTB effect, then went back into bed. It was a bit cold, so I could not go to sleep right away. I was then laying there when suddenly I started feeling the rushing, vibrating, and the hypnagogic hallucinations of sleep paralysis. I remember some HH of me looking at porn on the computer () and then an icon suddenly appeared in the bottom right corner that I could not get rid of. I became scared I was going to get found out. Then I suddenly woke up in my bed. I kind of knew I was dreaming, but I was not sure, so I tried to create something; a sound, an object, a smell, anything. Whenever I tried to create anything, all that would happen was the rushing sound and vibrations, which I was thinking were like me trying to concentrate on creating something. I then gave up on that and instead, my brain said "screw it" and tried to wake me up the same way I woke up in a prievious LD: by doing the nose plug reality check, and got too involved with the breathing of my physical body, that I wake myself up. That did not work this time, so I just closed my eyes to connect with the physical body, and I woke myself up. So that is my DDA-LD. Technically, I would call it a DDA-WILD because of the sleep paralysis, but it still is a DDA-LD. Though, this is not a total failure, since this actually is the first time I have had a WILD.
