Paralysis

Had a more stable lucid dream this morning. Walked around an empty neighborhood. Did not see anybody. It was weird because I felt the sleep paralysis kick in. It was cool. It feels like you cannot move your body at first because you are scared of waking up but then you feel your dream body become loose. All you do then is just get out of your bed and walk around. Before that, all I did was lay back down to sleep and imagine what it would be like to have a clear mind. I mentioned in previous entries that meditation was the holy grail of lucid dreaming. The end goal of meditation is to have a clear present mind that enables the dreamer to observe hypnagogia. I found a short cut where instead of fighting to clear my thoughts, I just on what it would feel like, look like, be like to have a clear mind. I am pretty much at that point where I can lucid dreams everyday now providing I get enough sleep the night before.

What stood out: paralysis

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.
