Paralysis

05.04.2010Super Paralysis (Note) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Morning after a night out, once again. I did not manage to get lucid in any dreams, but I did get a serious blast of sleep paralysis. Absolutely exhausted, I was sleeping on my back. I am not sure if I came out of a dream, or I was maybe just really relaxed and forgot where I was for a while. Either way, I realised I was lying in bed, but could not move at all. My arms were by my sides, and I tried to lift them but they were completely dead. I actually tried really hard to move, just to test the power of the paralysis. It was total. Then I opened my eyes. I am almost positive the room I saw was the real room and not a hallucination because nothing was "off". Light levels were consistent with the real room and everything was in the right place. I had a pretty good view because I had like three pillows under me. I could not see very clearly though, which is what makes me suspicious about whether or not I was hallucinating a view of the room. Anyway, I thought I should not waste this great opportunity for a WILD, but I was so insanely exhausted that I just fell asleep unconsciously.

So I was in this forest. It was all gray and gloomy looking. In a clearing in the forest were a bunch of stone huts. They were tall enough to walk in but you would have had to slouch to fit.

I try to banish a spirit in the name of God. It works about as well as you would expect. I am at a train station, even though I am sure that just a second ago, I was actually on my train. I
