A low hum

Wow...I had such a shock last night. It came in so unexpectedly, I did not know what to think! Okay, so last night I woke up around 4:30. Not from a dream, or lucid dream, but I just woke up from normal sleep. I was lying there and suddenly I head this buzzing noise ringing in my ears. It became louder. Also, you know when you are on a plane and you can hear the steady humming of the engines? Well strangely enough, that is what I heard as well. The two sounds combined made it incredibly loud, and I was pretty confused at what was going on. Then, I felt this sensation come over me, like all my limbs suddenly held this tension in them. In an instant, I completely understood ...no no no no! Sleep paralysis! :O I attempt to gently move my arm, but as I do, I feel this incredible force push down onto it, making it feel as though it is literally super-glued to the bed. The sensation was so strange and unreal to me that I let my inner fear take over a little. I knew there was no reason to be scared, as it was all just a natural thing, but I could help but feel a little panic settle in. After about 30 seconds to a minute, my limbs suddenly released all that tension and were free to move again. The buzzing had gone, and I was fine after that! I knew that I would probably have to experience SP sometime sooner or later if I continued to do lucid dreams, and I guess that last night was one of those moments! I am kind of glad that it happened though, now I know how it feels like and I do not have to worry about it too much again. So yeah, this was my first Dream Journal entry, I hope you enjoyed it! Feel free to post any comments. (: Happy lucid dreaming! ~TheDreamCloud
