Paralysis
02.03.2010Incredibly Real FA (WBTB) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I was up for about half an hour, taking out rubbish and tidying stuff up, tiring stuff. I went back to bed with the intention of WILDing. It felt like a lot longer, but it took about 40 minutes to get anywhere- judging by the clock when I woke up. I got into a lucid dream which I cannot remember at all. This was quite a bit before another set of dreams, and my memory of this one has deteriorated something shockin'. I had a false awakening in my old house. This should initially have been enough to make me lucid, but I got one of those strange "false memories", which had me convinced that this was where I had fallen asleep. In reality, I havn't been in that house in three years. I really did think about the possibility of a false awakening, but it was so convincing that I just did not bother reality-checking! I went to the window and looked out. It was night time. I blinked and opened my eyes widely, and woke up for real. I went for a DEILD. I had not quite woken up, but I knew where I was actually sleeping, and could just see the dark grey of the back of my eyelids. I gave no outward indication that I had woken up. I did not change my breathing, shift position, or even twitch. This time, I did not do my standard DEILD process of "tactile entry", but acted as if I was trying to do a standard WILD. I.e. just lie very still. I noticed sleep paralysis very quickly. I think it could have lasted up to ten minutes. During this time, I opened my eyes slightly, because I was pretty sure this would not affect my progress. It did not, and it was pretty weird to peek at the outside world while in such a deep trance. At one point, my face got itchy. I moved my arm up to scratch it. I felt my arm lift, and my nails on my cheek. The itch went away. It was only as I tried to put my arm back that I realised I had not actually moved at all. I had been moving my "dream body", and my arm was paralysed. The most bizzare thing was that I had used my non-physical body to successfully scratch an itch! I eventually went into another dream, which I have also forgotten.
I have been both sick as a dog, and out of town. Dreams have been so crazy. At one point, I was nightmaring lucidly about the Saw movies, which I do not even watch (Saw 1-3, then gave up.), …
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 do not remember much of last night. Again, I was distracted and not focused on dreaming lucidly, although I did ponder it as I fell asleep. I had one of my out of body experience type thin…
