Paralysis

I laid down to take a long deserved nap. I felt myself going into paralysis, but accepted it anyway. (I would rather be lucid, but sometimes I learn a lot from this stage) Anyhow.. I was with someone, I think knew who it was..I was obviously laying in the bed next to the person, but because I was not lucid yet I could not turn my head to see a face.. I would try but I could tell I was going to wake up doing so. So.. I accepted the fact I was in bed with someone ( a man, typically what happens to me when I am not concentrating on LDing and I am in paralysis)..twitching.. I tried to figure out who this person was.. some abnormalities connected me to certain people I know. BUT the thing that was weird was..as I was in and out of going into a LD.. it was my first fight to stay out of it..so something is I wanted to do happened..and other things did not. It is a stage I am not accustomed too. Usually I feel the body sensations of paralysis as I glide into an LD, This was far different. As i was fighting both of these feelings, I started to feel dominated by that feeling. Then a sharp pain.. then I decided to give up and let the paralysis take over. Whoever this person was that I was trying to control, took control of me. It was a mixture of pleasure, but mostly pain. I knew the person but could not control it to find out, so that fear lead to pain.; Wondering if what occurred is normal, or if anyone would like to share a similar story. Should I just not fight anything, or explore my mind, Dream On DauphineDreamer
