Thread: What happened to me....

FIRST POST!!

ok this all happened last night and was my reason for searching google to find this site. Just to explain what happened before I went to bed, throughout the day I had about half a bottle of wine and at around 8pm I took 100mg of Diphenhydramine (sleep aid) so I could wear my retainers in my mouth and still fall asleep. I passed out at around 8:30pm while watching Monday night football. I woke up at around 10pm (completely disoriented) and went to my bed. No recalled dreams at this point. At around 12:30AM (same night) I woke up and had a huge amount of energy. I was unable at this point to fall asleep until what I think was 4:00am.... the reason I'm not sure is because I was actually dreaming that I was just laying in my bed.... I tried to wake myself up by saying in my head "wake up this isn't real".. eventually I woke up but to my surprise I was completely paralyzed and thought I was literally crippled... this scared the shit out of me but thankfully I realized that I was still dreaming that I was laying in my bed because I couldn't feel my retainers in my mouth... then shit got crazy. I recently watched the movie "the fourth kind" and literally looked out my window and saw an owl.. this freaked me out and I literally thought i was about to be abducted... thankfully I woke up for real due to the fact that i had to use the restroom.. as I was using the restroom I thought wow I can dream of whatever I want as long as I think about it before I fall Asleep... so as I laid in my bed it happened again.. I was dreaming that I was laying in my bed unable to sleep ... thankfully I remember what was happing to me so i was able to do whatever I thought of in my head (ex: I created a grenade out of nowhere and threw it on the ground.. thought I was going to die but nothing happened.. then I was in a grocery store fight a ninja ) I woke about about 5 times last night and every time I remembered my dream.. until the next one I had (i need to make a journal i guess)... but the scary part is that every dream start the same (me lying in my bed unable to sleep)... such a surreal experience that I want to have again

do y'all think this was only due to the sleep aids and alcohol I had earlier in the day?

being able to control my dreams was the greatest time I've ever had asleep except for that one time I was riding in the car and had an outer body experience ( I literally was awake but unable to move my body at all) I could hear and see everything but was paralyzed
