Two nights ago, I got a numbness in my hands, and couldn't work out which way I had placed them. I was kind of seeing a person, but it was not visualizing, it was in my mind - if you understand what I mean.
I slowly came out of this little 'trancey' state, rearranged myself and tried again-failure. So I rolled over and went to sleep.

Last night, I decided to sit a little more upright (to keep my eyes closed which I will talk about further down), and my whole body went numb, including my face. I got a little excited and my heart starting racing. I was pretty unsuccesful and calming myself down and soon returned to my normal state.
I tired again, but failed.


Now, I have a problem with my eyes. My room is pitch black, and often I will notice my eyes have opened after a short while, without noticing them opening. I just suddenly go "Hey, my eyes are slightly open.", and will shut them, only to find them open again shortly.
This hasn't affected my ability to induce this 'numbness'. But will it affact me later on?
I have been suggested sleepmasks, my problem is getting one, but I'm sure I could find one lying around the house.

I was also told that this numbness was the start of a 'HI'. And I remember seeing that disscussed but cannot find the thread again.

I have never really 'visualized' anything, it is all 'in my mind'. As if you think about it when your eyes are open. I hope that makes sense.

Feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.
