Thread: What do you think?

This all started when a friend told me about lucid dreaming and I started trying to bring my consciouness mind into my dreams. So for a while now I have been getting what I think is called Sleep Paralysis. So I close my eyes and all of sudden become alert that I can't move, after a short period of time of course. It was extremely scary at first but I eventually learned how to deal with it and pull myself out of it because it isnt like a dream it's like being stuck in your body, it would usally happen once and then afterward I would fall asleep like normal. When it happens it's like you can still tell what's going on around you. I guess to me its like your almost asleep but it's obvious your not going to be dreaming. One time this happened and it became more scary by the fact a voice said I'm going to haunt you for the rest of your life and my right arm, i was sleeping on the ground on my left side, started to move up into the air and it felt like I had no control over it, The layout of the room was still obvious. I'm blurry on the memories afterward but I think I just felt that way for a while and then fell asleep. I told that to my friend who told me about lucid dreaming and he acted like I was crazy. So last night I went to sleep like normal and occasionally woke up because I was scared of someone breaking in, any little noise would cause me to sit up and look out the door, it happened twice and then I layed down and an all knowing voice said I'm stopping your habits this is ridiculous come on, it wasnt scary it was kind of amazing. After this was said I tryed to get up and look out the door but it just wasn't happening. I started becoming extremelely fearful for my life in this state and absolutely didnt want to be asleep but I couldnt pull myself out of it and all of sudden I was awake, not really awake I felt empty inside. And my eyes were blinking extremeley fast but it felt nothing like I feel right now as im typing, it felt like I was walking through the room I was sleeping in. My body flet like it was a part of everything. But my mind was telling me this must be what it feels like to be a ghost, in this state I walked to the door and looked outside, there was nothing there but everything was colorful. Then after what felt like forever I was back were I was just sleeping again. It took forever to start feeling like this to. After getting back to were I was sleeping I felt like it was still there walking through the room. I guess I woke up and was completely confused unsure of what had just happened I felt like could still be walking through the room. I'm not sure what the hell happened but im still kind of scared by it and It felt like I was freezing cold, hypothermia times a hundred. It was hard to move but Im sure I had control of it. The effort it took to do things made it impossible to think. For a moment of time I felt like I was using 100% of my brain. after It was over I felt like I was back in my head and the question what do you think of this? was asked. followed by do you still think your in a house. I answered with I guess Im in a prism of lights. then I woke up the other waking up part is how I felt I just had some thoughts afterwards. This was shortly after stating the theory to someone that ghosts are moments in peoples lifes where a certain part of there brain is functioning and that somehow replays. But Im not so sure of that now. any thoughts
