Hi everyone. I've never heard about any of this, but I started reading tonight and thought it sounded rather interesting. Anyway, I just joined today and was wondering if someone could answer a few quick questions I had relating to LD.

1. Whenever I dream, I have problems seeing. That is, there is usually a very bright light that forces me to look away. Naturally, I can't see what is going on fully. Does this mean anything or can anything significant be concluded from this? One peace of information that might be usefull is that I am light sensitive as a result of having Glaucoma as a child.

2. i experience a very strange phenomenone every now and then when I am in bed. There would be times when I would be conscious (I think), but I can't move at all. I can't open my eyes or move any part of my body, but I can feel my muscles start to ache as I lay in that position for a long time. I almost feel held down and unable to do anything. The only way I get out of it is to muster all my strength to kind of jolt me so I move and break this strange spell. This usually occures in the middle of the night or in the early morning when I wake up. I feel conscious. I even say to myself, not again. It's a little frightening and unnerving. Has anyone else felt this? Any idea what it means or what it is?

What is everyone's take on deja vu? Is it related to LD or what? I mean...I SWEAR there were times when I've done the same things before. The strange thing is...I correctly predict what will happen...so I know something is weird.

Thank you for taking the time to help me out!
