Hey guys, the other day I was having a terrible dream and I realized that I was having a dream, so I decided I would wake myself up (which is something I realized I could do since I was very young). When I "woke" I felt I was conscious at last, but I could not move, and I could not open my eyes. I struggled, and in a few seconds I could move. I researched this and I came up this! Sleep Paralysis!

Actually thinking back on it, I can remember this happening on a few occasions, I just probably didn't remember it. I probably just remembered it that time because I was very scared. As I researched further... I came upon this website on sleep paralysis, and how it can be used a tool to have an OBE (Out of body experience) or a lucid dream. (where you control your dreams, and you are aware you are dreaming)
Now I haven't had the sleep paralysis in about 2 months, but a technique of lucid dreaming is to tell yourself right before you sleep that you have to remember that you actually are dreaming. (when you have lucid dreams, you can almost always remember them quite well). So I did that last night, and low and behold I had I dream and remembered to tell myself that I was dreaming. This had been the first time that I had actually remembered without me realizing it was a dream without me realizing it while I was being killing or something really bad was happening and I needed to wake myself up. So, yeah, i was a novice, and I told myself to float. I started to go up...... and meh. Woke up. Damn it. lol
So I'm trying it again tonight, and I'm quite excited. I can't believe I've never heard of this before. Research it guys... maybe you can do it, maybe you can't. You need to research it though and see what works for you. And if you have had sleep paralysis before, you can probably do it.
What do you all think ?
