Paralysis

These past few nights have been great in terms of dreaming. Not only have I had exactly 3 dreams every night for the past 3 or 4 days, but I also conveniently wake up between each, giving me an opportunity to WILD each time. Not to mention it is helped me to finally be able to perform the transition properly... At least last night anyway. I was able to actually see the "hypnagogia" stuff, and it was more vivid than ever. Not only that, but I did make it into a lucid dream for a few seconds, rather than accidentally slipping into sleep paralysis and hearing weird noises. Hopefully I can try again and be more successful tonight. I do find this to be a little weird though... Suddenly having exactly 3 dreams each night...? It is very strange. I have also noticed that I have much more ease when it comes to remembering dialogue as well. I have even noticed that even when I am having non-lucid dreams, I still feel like I am on the brink of lucidity, and not a complete zombie trapped in the dream's "story" and just going along with it. This is the most regularly I have had lucid dreams in a long time, and I am glad that I am finally back in the saddle.

If this reminds you of something a friend or a relative told you once and never mentioned again, send them this page. Reading that a stranger described the same thing is usually the part that helps.
