A new way of looking at sleep "paralysis"

[AspirationRealized]

This I feel is the best place to put it. Even though all of this happened in the waking world, it is best seen from a perspective only Lucid Dreamers have. There is questioning of my state of reality, sp thoughts, and reality checking... so it fits I say. This is from my Dream Journal this morning, but its too funny not to show everyone here... Morning of March 27th, 2008. Thursday This has little to do with dreaming, but it definitely was interesting. I woke up late today and turned over to where I was facing the bed, holding myself up on my elbow... or one of them anyway. I am groggy, eyes barely opening, and I feel no pressure or sensation in my left arm at all. I look down, and I can't see my forearm. From the angle of my upper arm, it looks as though my arm has gone THROUGH the bed. And because there is no resistance, apparently, I must be dreaming. I do a reality check really quick by slapping myself in the forehead with the hand that wasn't submerged in my mattress. Ow. I'm not dreaming afterall. Imagine this moment... I know I am in reality, but my fucking arm is inside my mattress. What the fucking hell, mate? I try to pull up, and continue feeling no pressure... but then I see my forearm, folded, slip out from under my pillow XD It looks odd, because my fingers have no "life" to them and hang limp. Whats more, I can't even move anything below my elbow. Its not that "oh, my arm's asleep, it feels heavy." This was like a lead weight that was impossible to lift. Or, like my will to lift it wasn't even getting through (which, realistically, if you understand nerve pathways, was actually the case). I could move my shoulder, so I flopped my arm down in my lap as I faced away from the bed, and waited for the feeling to come back. Eventually it does, and I think "wait until the people at DVs hear about this." ... Anyone here had a simillar experience?
