So I just moved out of the country and finally have settled down again enough to start working on lucid dreaming again.

Last night I had a dream (that was obviously a dream in many aspects, why I didn't recognize this I attribute to not keeping a dream journal) but In this dream I was shot a few dozen times and I lay there dying (with the whole last few moments of consciousness racing through your mind) and as I felt myself slip away (to die) I woke up in sleep paralysis. I have experienced sleep paralysis more than a few times but this morning I got myself out of sleep paralysis by swallowing.. for the life of me I couldn't move any other part of my body or even control my breathing that well but for some reason I was able to swallow and it brought me back to wakin reality. It's happened at least one other time. has anyone else experienced this?

happy dreaming!
