non-lucid

I had just gotten out of work and decided to hop on my computer. After a few hours of worthless YouTube browsing I decided to hit the hay at 2 a.m. I laid flat on my back with my arms to my side and began reverse blinking whilst counting my breaths down from 1000. After 3-5 minutes of reverse blinking I'd let the sleep paralysis and breathing do the rest.

While doing this, I saw an image of what looked like a broom handle sticking outward from atop something that resembled a refrigerator. I walked forward ignoring it and it struck the side of my temple. In waking life I felt my head jerk to the side. This panicked me a bit but I maintained peace. I continued to breath and try to maintain awareness in my thoughts. I then felt my right arm jerk to the right, and my upper torso to the left. Sleep paralysis was mild at this time. Later, my dream started to take picture. It was non-lucid but very vivid.

I was driving down a dirt and gravel road my Grandfather lives off of in my father's GMC Yukon. Just a small dirt road with two lines || indicating where the previous traffic had been. All over the road was vibrant green moss and small weeds and plants. To my left and right were 2 to 3 foot plants and weeds. I thought that it was strange because it's still somewhat winter. Then I remembered that in the waking life we had just had a rainstorm this past Friday. I thought, "Oh, that must be the reason for the plants." I continued down the road and began to see somewhat broken down houses as if they were hit by a small tornado. I thought that the storm must have been worse than I had thought. I kept driving and kept seeing more houses. I finally arrived to one that I had never seen before. It was a buddy of mines from my ceramics class in Highschool. It was demolished from what I can remember. I got out of the truck and saw him standing there. I went over to him and said, "Hey man I'm really sorry about your house." He turned around with tears in his eyes and said, "When your fedora cries, you cry." I then woke up laughing. I don't know what he meant by that sentence, but the dream was still very vivid and exciting.
