Paralysis

3rd Lucid This is my 3rd lucid dream and i am starting to have one every week which is a big accomplishment for me because I did not expect to have this many even if they are only 5 to 10 seconds long KEY: Red = Non-lucid Blue = Lucid Ok first I go to bed get comfy and fall asleep but before I do all of that, I set an alarm to wake me up in the middle of the night and the time was set for 4:30 AM (I think.) and I did this because one I go to sleep at 10 PM everyday because of school and 4:30 is a good time to wake up because I will already have been sleeping for 5-6 hours and two because I wanted to do a WBTB into a DILD. So after the 5-6 hours I have been sleeping, I wake up from my alarm. I get comfy again and I fall asleep. My dream starts with <PERSON> (yes the guy on youtube) doing a Christmas special!?!? Once that was over with I was in my house and I was dressed as though I was about to go to school. Everything in my house looked the same except for the kitchen was smaller and the oven was where the refrigerator was suppose to be. I look at the clock on the oven at it said 10:27 and I was like "Crap I got to go to school!" then it came to my mind that I do not go to school at 10:27. I looked at the timer again and even walked up to it looked at it and that is when I realized "I am DREAMING!" I dropped my backpack on the ground at ran towards the stairs and then I remembered that I needed to stabilize the dream so then I calmed down and closed my eyes. (BIG MISTAKE) I woke up (or did I?) I remembered reading something saying that if you wake up and do not move you will go into sleep paralysis and you can go back into a lucid dream so that is exactly what I did. I dreamed about sleep paralysis and my dream was that you put a laptop on you with a spinning keyboard that vibrates. When you do that you go through sleep paralysis and it felt really weird... My body was vibrating and all of that stuff but the thing was I could move. When that dream ended it said in the dream "YOU HAVE JUST BEEN PUMPED" then I woke up. (Again?) When I woke up, I realized that when I closed my eyes and woke up it was just a false awakening and I could of continued on with my lucid dream :I So it goes to show... When you have a lucid dream and you close your eyes and wake up in your room DO A REALITY CHECK. ~FIN

I have been both sick as a dog, and out of town. Dreams have been so crazy. At one point, I was nightmaring lucidly about the Saw movies, which I do not even watch (Saw 1-3, then gave up.),

So I was in this forest. It was all gray and gloomy looking. In a clearing in the forest were a bunch of stone huts. They were tall enough to walk in but you would have had to slouch to fit.
