First, I'll copy some stuff from a thread I started somewhere else... and then I'll keep updating this one! Thanks, LvB, for the suggestion!

"I've had sleep paralysis on and off for a few years (it'd happen three nights in a row and then it'd only happen again months later), so I decided to google it. I found out what it was and then started reading about lucid dreaming.

About two weeks ago, I decided to try doing it. I've had my fair share of nightmares for a lifetime and, frankly, I want to do some cool stuff in dreams. I've been having a hard time getting into sleep paralysis (I managed to do it the first night, but I... I chickened out when I started hearing someone whispering in my ear. Yeah, I'm a wuss...)

After that, I've been trying to find stuff on the internet and finally, I got here. It's a wonderful site with many tutorials and I feel like, if I'm going to do this, it's going to be because I've read lots of threads here.

Anyway, I'm sorry for the rant. I just wanted to say hi and thank you for helping me!" (Jan 27)

"I was sleeping, dreaming about Glee, when I woke up. Not a big deal, right? I went to my bathroom and my girlfriend was there, I talked to her for a bit. Then I went back to my bedroom and noticed that there was something weird with me. I looked at the mirror and kept seeing people walking by me. I freaked out, tried to pinch myself, but nothing was working. After that, I woke up. I was afraid of being ANOTHER false awakening, so I took lots of papers with numbers and started checking them. They were okay, so I was relieved. I went to the bathroom, I told my girlfriend what had happened and then I noticed my dog inside a bird's cage. I took him out of there and, again, I looked at the mirror. I could see myself, but I was turning my head, like the girl from The Exorcist. Once more, I freaked out. After some time, I managed to wake up." (Jan 27)

Those are the most important parts, I think... if you're interested, also check my DJ! I've been updating it regularly! ...regularly = everyday since I've started posting here... three days, so far.
