I have had a few very lucid dreams in the past but wasnt really sure what it was all about or that I could possibly control them.

Recently I had what I would consider sleep paralysis. I was laying in my recliner taking a nap mid day knowing that I had to get up at some point. I remember trying to wake up but not being able to. My mind was working but my body wasnt. I know my eyes were closed but I could see the whole room and I could see my my nose. It almost felt like an out of body experience. It felt like I was looking down at myself telling myself to wake up. Thats when I freaked out a little and fought the dream until I awoke. It felt like an eternity. It was scary!

Thats what brought me to this website. I plan on continuing my lucid dreaming and mastering it. I feel like a total noob trying to explain all of my ideas and emotions, but my dreams are almost unexplainable. Time to start a dream journal?
