Paralysis

Last night provided no LD. I did however remember a few parts to the dreams I did have. These will not make much sense, but that is how I remember them. Just pieces... I remember being with a single other person in my first recollection. I do not recall where we were, other than outside a building I did not recognize. I must have been semi lucid at this point because I can remember thinking to myself "you got to believe it is possible" in order to jump onto this building I was next to. Not sure why I was trying to jump onto it, I think the person I was with was teaching me something. I remember trying to jump straight onto it, just leap 20 feet into the air and land on top. I just could not. I tried several times unsuccessfully, until I just decided to pull myself up onto it. This building was larger than a house so even to grab a hold of the roof was a feat. This is how I got up though. I leaped up and in a single motion, grabbed the ledge and launched myself over the top landing on the roof. When I got up there, it was no longer just the two of us. There was a group of about five including myself. The next, and last, thing I remember about this dream was trying to change something, but I do not remember what or why. However, I felt I needed to close my eyes for this to occur. I knew it was a mistake before I did it, but I did it anyway. Closing my eyes, more often than not, only succeeds in waking me up. No matter much I try to stay in the dream I get woken up. This time was no different. What I found interesting this time though was that once I closed my eyes I tried to reopen them unsuccessfully. I felt myself slip out of the dream and there was nothing I could do. I tried again and again to open my eyes, but still nothing. After a few more seconds I opened my eyes to the darkened view of my bedroom. I think that I experienced a bit of sleep paralysis there at the end. Dream 2 This Dream is just short bits of me with random people, being chased by random things. I never do see my pursuer though, I always seem to get away... Sorry I do not have anything more entertaining today. Once my <PERSON> come back I will have story after to story, believe that.

Has this happened to you?

Write it down while you still remember the details. We will look for the others.

Know someone this happened to?

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.
