Paralysis

19.03.2010Tiny Hallucination (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID This was as I was dropping off again this morning after going to bed at a ridiculous hour for the past 4 nights. I am due a serious night's rest one of these days... The light was on, and I was lying on my back with my legs leaning against the wall, and I really did not think I was asleep. I did not notice sleep paralysis taking effect (but I suppose it did), but soon my phone vibrated on the desk next to me. My eyes were only half-open, and I could not really see clearly, but I knew exactly where the phone was on my desk beside the bed. I reached over and picked it up, then tried to unlock it, holding the screen above my face. I could not seem to get it to work, or even really focus on it, so I blinked a couple of times to clear my vision. Turned out, I had not moved at all. I was still in the exact same position I had been in before my phone went off. Got To love that tricksy sleep paralysis...

What stood out: paralysis
