I ran across this message board just now after researching SP a little bit. I have frequent SP experiences, but they're pretty mundane for the most part. I also once had a completely LD as a child, and I think I've had a few semi lucid dreams at other times.
Anyway, my SP situation is probably a little bit strange. Pretty much any time I sleep in a supine position, I wake up after a certain amount of time without the ability to move. I've been in the state over a hundred times I'm sure, but I at no point had the negative side effects of horrible malicious halucinations or anything. I can move my eyes, and I can even make my mouth form words, and I can speak by rasping my breath as my brain causes me to automatically breath in and out at a regulated pace. I can bring myself back to complete alertness by trying to move one of my fingers back and forth for about 10-15 seconds. First they don't move at all, and then the slowly slowly start to move, and then one split second seems like 5 as my body springs back to life.
One interesting factor however, is that while in SP, I will immediately begin to drift back into sleep if I close my eyes. Everything I've read however says that it should be very difficult to go back to sleep while in SP. I also read alot about Out of Body Experiences, and as a result, I often try to "get up" while in SP, but I just have a vivid dream that I get up, and get a glass of water or something, and then wake back into SP.
The SP doesn't frighten me at all so far, but I am frightened often times when my dreams seem just as realistic as when I am awake. I often dream that I'm playing guitar, doing complex math problems in a college course, or that I'm reading a letter.
Basically I'm just posting to say hello, to get your opinions on my sleeping quirks, and to see if anyone else has disturbingly realistic dreams.
