I've already been to the doctors, told my counsellor and had an EEG test done in order to understand my weird sleeping habits. I've seeked out this website inorder to take some of this into my own hands and maybe understand more about dreams and how to control them. I'm not quite sure if what i'm experiencing is a lucid dream or something close to it...but here's how it goes...
Anytime I take a nap during the day or sometimes while i'm waking up in the morning, something quite odd keeps reoccuring (well odd to me anyways). First of all I know when this is happening everytime...not at first (ive had this for about a year now) but now I am always certain when i am in this state. I will be laying there in my bed seeing my body through my own eyes and I will be completely paralyzed...I will try time and time again to wake myself up...screaming at myself in panic to wake up. Sometimes i can feel myself whip the covers up and get up but then i will be in the exact same position i started in...still paralyzed...i can hear everything around me, see everything around me, just as it appears after i finally wake up...This is quite frightening for me and because i start panicing it gets harder and harder for me to breathe....Obviously i always manage to wake myself up in the end...but id love to know that maybe this is something other people experience too...and im not just some pyscho...anyone have any comments or suggestions??
