      wierd hypnagogic experience

      I think this is the appropriate forum for this post, not really sure...

      I just had this hypnagogic experience 2 nights ago, and i now remember i have had a few similar dreams in the past so thought i'd share it. Saturday night i had a few beers or so and was a bit dehydrated from spending over 2 hours in a hottub, (life is hard but we get by), anyway, i had trouble falling asleep all night. At one point i decided to do time checks as i tried to sleep. I'd open my eyes, look at the red LED bedside clock, note the time, close my eyes and open them again to see if the time changed radically. Well after doing this on and off as i almost dozed, i opened my eyes to see the numbers on the clock had turned blue! A dawning of lucidity came over me but then the clock emitted a very loud unnatural electonic buzz unlike anything any alarm clock would ever make. I try to move but i am stuck in sleep paralysis. The experience startled the hell out of me, very unnerving because of the unnatural noise the clock made and the paralysis. I woke up a few seconds after. Anyone else experience a similar episode?
      I find your lack of faith disturbing...

      Never experienced it personally, but as I understand, such occurances are quite common.

      Yeah, being as I'm just a walking stick with a caffine addiction, I really can't go into hot tubs too long before I get really dizzy.

      One night I was at a hotel and went into the hot tub for about a half-hour. I went up to my room then went to bed, except the bed made noises and floated after awhile, then I fell asleep.

      Might not be far from the truth. When I've had a few drinks but I'm not drunk (when I'm drunk I usually black out) I have really intense and vivid dreams. Could be that it intensified your hypnogogic stage as well.

      I would say the buzzing was in your head and not the clock. You were on the verge of an OBE, and thus the vibrations and buzzing sounds commonly described when a separation of the physical and astral bodies is about to occur.

      i posted a thread about alcohol affecting the vividness of dreams...
      well the long of the short is that it really makes my dreams vivid.
      but i have not achieved lucidity through drinking a small amount of alcohol,
      infact last night i was not drunk but buzzing pretty hard and i had INTENSE VIVID DREAMS. i drank wine which seems to do it to me more vividly

      Call it 'womens intuition', but I think I'm on to something here.

      I had a similar experience. I hungover while at a work training in Chicago, the hotel was in the same building so I went up to take a 10 min brake and withing 15 or 30 sec I heard this whirring or buzzing sound and felt like my body was being drawn into a vacuum, I could not move either. Paralysis is something that happened when I was a child, I never had a problem as an adult or teen waking up from a bad dream. Anyway, I could see this dark tunnel at the same time desperatley trying to wake up, only I wasn't dreaming because I knew where I was and something was wrong. This is my first time on a site like this so I too am looking for answers. It happened another time and I was able to get out of it before it started, I was too scared, I remember my breathing patterns were not normal so I thought I might not breathe. It's been a couple of years and now I try to make it happen but can't. I can get to the point where I have rem but copmpletely awake, then lose concentration.

      Yeah Dream Masters right you were on the verge of an OBE. If only you didn't Freak out the way you did then you would grasped it. Better luck next time.
