Buzzing

26.12.2009Hallucino-fucking-nations! (WILD) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I was a bit sleepy on boxing day, so I lay down in bed for a nap. Now before this, I have never had any real hypnagogic hallucinations before, save the odd quick buzzing sound, and I have never been one to notice sleep paralysis. I got them both this time, and it was fucking weird! I do not know how long I was lying there, but after a while it was like a switch had been flicked and my entire body just seemed to turn itself off. Over about half a second it became so I could not move a muscle- although to be honest I was not trying too hard in case I spoiled it. Part of me used to doubt if this bodily shutdown was actually possible while still awake- and I was still awake! I even opened my eyes a crack, but barely took anything in, just the colour of the celing with the sun shining through the blinds. After a minute, I felt as if my head had "lifted out of itself". It felt like my forehead had levitated up. I was really shocked, and it reverted almost immediately. I assumed this must be the HH's people rave about. I then wondered what other stuff I could get my body to do. With that thought, I started "sliding" under the covers towards the foot of the bed. But I kept going. I slid maybe five or six metres before I thought of controlling this ride. I thought, "I should reach the end of this bed now," and sure enough, I felt my feet poke out from under the covers next. Then my belligerant brother came in shouting about crap and ruined it!

Something weird happened tonight. It is 11:00 pm and I go to sleep. I lay at my back, my hands on my stomach and I look at the ceiling. I get sleepy and close my eyes. After 5 minutes or so,

So it has been almost two months since my second brief experience with lucidity. Perhaps because I moved to a new place and now sleep in a new bed with new noises and a new schedule, I have
