I have lucid dreams almost every night without even triggering them. That is because, it was not until today that I even knew that there was a name for it. I just sort of drift off into my dream and just realize that it is a dream! I think that is because my mind thinks very logically. For example, if I look at my hands during a dream, I notice that they look odd and that I can strech and bend them. From there on I know it is a dream! And, I can also wake from dreams if I want to. To do that I close my eyes, keep them closed for a few seconds, and I wake up. I like doing fantastic things in my dreams that I could not normally experiance. So, what brought me here was my odd experiance with Sleep Paralisys. It was different than most cases. I used the "Closing my Eyes" trick to wake up. But, before I opened my eyes I noticed that i could not move, my body felt like a lead brick. And, I was still dreaming! I was dreaming that I was having Sleep Paraylisis, because in my dream I was asking my friend to wake me up. But, I also felt a concious connection to my body, and felt that I was unable to move. I can do this sometimes. During my dreams I can sort of "seperate" my body from my mind, or just feel my body. So, I guess what happened in that dream was that I was in a REM state, dreaming of SP, and having SP at the same time as being lucid. wow. Could someone clear this up for me?
