Paralysis

So I decided to post up a journal today since I finally got around to having a nap which I almost always lucid dream while I am napping. Well I ended up lucid dreaming and I had that weird sleep paralysis affect where I feel myself being paralyzed before I fall sleep. I have sleep paralysis quite a lot but I am used to having it happen before I wake up. Anywho, It is weird feeling yourself going into a dream while you are conscious. Also when I woke up later I tried going back into the dream and was actually able to go back into it for a little bit...or at least until my mind grew too conscious and brought me back into reality. The dream was of me in my room...I got up out of bed and I was walking out into the dorm hall because I was going to put a guy friend of mine into a room so that I could "do stuff" with him. I saw a couch and chair in the room and my mind almost made this black thing on the chair into some random person, but then I looked at the couch and made whatever I could make out on the couch into my guy friend and then the naughtiness began from there. Sadly I grew too conscious during it all and could not hold onto being asleep. Got To work on that. Any thoughts on how to hold a dream longer without losing lucidity?

Has this happened to you?

Write it down while you still remember the details. We will look for the others.

Know someone this happened to?

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.
