N00b with reversed Sleep paralysis.
Sup, am new to this Forum.
I've been LDing on and off for several years now and wanted to share some of my experiences.
First off, I don't actively use any of the "mainstream" Lucid dreaming techniques, I just play Videogames and hang around the Internet(which is surprisingly effective).
If you've been wondering what this reversed Sleep paralysis is that I am talking about, let me explain:
A normal dream ends and I "wake" up seeing the ceiling of my bedroom.
I can move my limbs, but notice that I am half-dreaming when I lift my Arm but can't see it(Same goes for head movement, although the "dream" isn't just a still image, sometimes the shadow of moving leaves shining thru my Windows is visible).
The most extreme example of this occured when I was 5 years old and "woke" up, with my limb movement and even hearing fully functional, but a normal non-lucid dream(some car driving along a canyon)was still filling my vision. I crawled around my bed for 30 seconds WTFing and then opened my eyes.
These usually last 20-30 seconds and then fade away. They occur maybe 2-3 times a year.
Does anyone here know WTF this is?
