That does sound pretty strange. When you say it paralyzes you, that sounds like sleep paralysis. Everyone has sleep paralysis (SP) every night, but most people don't know about it. Your muscles become paralyzed so you won't act out your dreams. I don't know about the iron smell, though. |

Personal Dream Sign
Hi all I'm new to this forums. I never really tried to follow any of those techniques yet, and never really bothered to find more information about lucid dreaming. But lately something very strange is happening to me and this is why I found these forums.
I have a special personal dream sign that always triggers my awarness that I'm dreaming. It's a very strange smell of iron that I ocassionaly notice during dreaming, and when I do, I realize I am dreaming and then I usually wake up a couple of moments after. Lately I am able to smell that weird iron stench even during my waking state and when I do I fall into some weird unconciouss state of mind when I can't really think and do anything and it simply paralyzes me completely for a couple of seconds until it fades away. When it ends I feel like I was having a dream during that time and it leaves very strong emotional feeling in me.
Does anyone have any clue what does it mean? I am a bit worried if it's not something serious for which I should visit a doctor. Thanks for any comments.

You enter SP in waking life? Strange... there could be some sort of bad wiring between some areas of your brain, which may or may not explain the smell.

Suddenly falling asleep sounds like narcolepsy, but I have no idea whether a person is paralyzed in such a situation or not.

Hum...
About 1.5 times a year i perceive a strong smell of iron. I know it's not real, because i'm the only one who smells it.
It feels very weird, but i enjoy it very much. For some reason it feels as weird as a deja vu.
I don't get paralyzed at all, but i really don't feel like doing anything but focusing on the strange feeling that smells conveys.
Many times i've wondered what it meant. I guess it's some minor mistake my brain makes (just like deja vu). I used to pay attention to my whereabouts and situation each time it happened, to see if something was recurrent, but i gave it up. It seems absolutely random.
Edit: I've never had it while sleeping, that i recall.
It gets a little synesthesic, for i feel like i can almost hear the smell (and it has a high pitch).Last edited by wisp; 11-25-2007 at 06:15 PM.
