Hi all, as i'm sure is the case with many, last night i had a very interesting dream cycle of events. It started with a dream where i was falling - typical, however as i was falling i forced myself to realize that it had to be a dream, then all hell broke loose. I stopped falling and was able to page through different scenarios - dream options, like in an I-phone. I picked a screen of my room and my wife in bed and 'clicked' on it and somehow - boom - there i was. In the bedroom with my wife, looking around and saying 'i'm dreaming - this is awesome' anyhow, had a short convo with her and then some other people started appearing and so on. Shortly there after, i started to wake up, and tried to "hold on" to the dream. This resulted in the second most weird thing i've ever had happen, i encountered sleep paralysis. I was lying there in bed with my eyes open (i think) and the sounds of the heat kicking on and heavy rain started filling my head, but i couldn't move! I was freaked out at first but after a couple seconds, i was awake. Then - after being so amazed at this, i tried falling back asleep and (from what i've read) almost had a WILD. I was just on the virge of transitioning back to sleep and a lot of strange images were flashing in front of my eye and as i tried to jump into the dream world, i lost it. After that i fell asleep and woke up today and have been on here reading for the past few hours.

This is only the second lucid dream i've ever fully remembered in my life. For some reason i had one once when i was around 12, i still remember realizing i was dreaming and so began smashing a cop car's lights out - how mature, right?

Anyhow, just wanted to say hello and props to a great site!
