Paralysis

Wake up > drink of water > sleep paralysis > enter lucid dream. So I spawn into some party - perfect. I spend a while just walking about the house trying to work it where I am but I cannot recognize it and have no recollection of ever being here before. After a while I try to have some fun, I start to levitate things and soon a crowd gathers round to watch me and then I start to levitate people. Soon I get bored of this and my eye turns to the window and when i turn back the crowd are gone apart from one or two people. I open the window and stand up on the ledge and look down at the grass below but before I jump out to fly I stop because it all seems too real. I jump down from the ledge and do the finger throught palm check but i am worried after a few seconds because it does not go right through but seconds later it goes through and i run and jump straight out of the window. The rush is unbelievable as i fall through the air but soon I hit the ground and realise I could not fly. The ground is wet and i am still absolutely stunned at how real everything feels and unfortunately the pain of falling from so high still feels real. So I am lying down after my failed flight feeling like <PERSON> when I look up at the house I just jumped from and realised all the lights are off so I do not go back in, instead I decide to go to the house next door. As I go to open the door to the next house I see my real next door neighbour at the door and wake up. Hmm... This was surprisingly vivid and seemed to last around 15-20 minutes. I am improving..

19th July 2012 I am in sleep paralysis, and a few shapes of things float into vision. I soon find myself 'falling out of bed' however, and wait for myself to hit the floor and be in a dream.
