Paralysis

Slept at 6:30 - 6:45pm and woke up at 9:00pm Lucid dream occurred around at 4:24 Am Experience: i could hear country music playing in the background, saw a you-tube animation video protesting about the war on drugs. Watching animation, then went down stairs at a person house who use to live with/ be my guardian (but did not like at all) and realized it was empty, which i thought was unusual and experienced lucidity. Daydreamed about a girl i fancied and we were in a hotel private pool nude and saw snake tattoo on swirled around and up her leg. the next dream scene was in a Arabian desert with the sound type mud huts. I was suddenly feeling extremely scared and wanted to get out of lucid dream, even thought nothing scary or threatening actually happened. But i ended up in a Arabian hut with tent door, and saw an Indian man in a suit who did not say anything but smiled slightly. i asked my subconscious to appear and when i saw the guy (thinking and hoping he was my subconscious) i yelled either "i want bigger muscles" or "i will have bigger muscles". the logic behind this was auto suggestion to plant a thought that would then affect me in my waking life. Then i saw blackness, which i assume was me exiting lucid dream due to surge in unnecessary and sudden fear, at which point i experienced higher fear and anxiety because i was scarred of experiencing old hag or some other horrible experience . I had my eyes closed trying to get out of sleep paralysis, planning to pull the cable (light switch) next to me. eventually SP broke and i finally got out of it. While lying there i saw the ceiling through my eyelids, until i finally moved and got out of bed. waking experience: upon waking up i did have an urge to lift weights/ potent desire and i cannot seem to shake the thought of what it would be like to be big a muscular all of a sudden. I do not have an overwhelming urge to build muscle but it is more potent that before i attempted auto suggestion technique =) I will have to see if it wears off during the week and hopefully i can learn to not get so terrified upon achieving lucidity
