Paralysis

Today, I had a horrible lucid dream. However, this is not an exceptional case. Lately, all my lucid dreams have been like this. ... random dreams ... I wake up to sleep paralysis. I get out from bed, try to walk around, but my vision is very weak. I can barely see anything. So I decide to let the paralysis pass. I find myself back in bed, having the paralysis. I wait it out until it quiets down. I get up. Vision is better now. I get out of my bedroom, to the corridor. My vision gets horrible. It is like my vision is tilted diagonally, and one side of my vision is black. I can barely walk. I try to improve my vision by focusing on things. No effect. I can see the floaters I have in waking life with vivid detail, but that is about it. I desperately try a stupid exercise: I am alternating between touching a door knob and another thing near it (not clear what). After a bit of doing it, the door knob and the other thing started randomly getting invisible. This startled me, but I kept doing it, and they kept getting in and out of sight. Then I say "To hell with it!", and I decide to do something fun. I stumble down the stairs somehow, and get out. I can see our old door that we do not even have anymore. I hear beatiful bird chirping outside, it makes me feel better. I stumble into our grandma's building (she lives next door). In there she seems like she was expecting me, and that totally broke my lucidity, and I started talking with her about nonsensical stuff... And that is about the quality of every lucid dream I have been having in the past few months.

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.
