Paralysis

I became aware that I am having sleep paralysis. I was excited. I really wanted to get a lucid dream. It felt like my kidneys were hurting, but I ignored it. I saw my room, so I thought, "I better close my eyes, I do not want to ruin the sleep paralysis". I started having visions of my room again. I was confident I was not seeing through my real eyes, but I wanted to make 100% sure, so I closed my "imaginary" eyes. I was starting to have a pretty clear vision of the room, but I could not move my body. I was thinking "If I cannot move my body, I can just float out of it!". I started floating in the air. I floated from my room to the corridor. From there I floated to my brother's room. There, I noticed I have arms and legs. I was a weird "abomination". A ghost that could grow various body parts. I floated out of my brother's room, into the open. I was floating towards our neighbours' territory. It was kind of like our neighbour's garden, but it had a large stone wall behind it, and a forest further behind. I saw some cute birds on the stone wall, so I floated up to / climbed it. There was a cute crow-like bird. It was emitting very cute sounds. It was so cute, I started petting it. After a while, I noticed some more birds further up the wall. I wanted to get to them. By around this time, I had a full body, so I had to climb the wall. Those other birds flew away, but I saw a parrot in a cage on the top of the wall. I climbed further up, and I saw that dogs were guarding that parrot. I climbed up to the top, and one of the dogs attacked me. It was storming towards me, and I was like "That is too bad but you cannot hurt me in a dream". He bit my arm, but it did not hurt at all. I threw the dog down from the top by flinging my arm it was chewing on. The parrot's cage was on top of some wooden pole. It had a ladder leading up to it. I climbed up the ladder, and opened the cage. The parrot was really scared, it wanted to escape. It seemed to "slip" out between the bars of the cage, and flew away. This is when I lost lucidity. The parrot came back eventually, but I engaged in some senseless conversation with it. I woke up soon after.
