Oh boy am i ever excited.

This is realy the first I have ever heard of Lucid Dreaming and i never realy thought to record any of my dreams, but after last night there has been nothing else on my mind all day. My friend explained lucid dreaming to me and what you can acomplish with it and at first i was apprehensive to the idea, but after reading some other posts and pretty much memorizing the entire site from top to bottom i cant wait to have a LD.

What realy got me interested was reading about sleep paralysis. I've had this many times, more than 5 that i can vividly remember. The first was the most intense: I remember turning my tv off and covering my eyes with my pillow(which is something i havnt done since), i didnt hear anything and it made me uneasy. I dont remember removing the pillow from my eyes, and after reading the forums i might have been sleeping already but thats when it started.
It was faint at first but i heard a train, the whistle first then the actual movement and i knew it was coming my way. It was so loud and nothing I wanted to do worked. I wanted to jump from my bed and run out the house but i couldnt even move my finger to save my life. It felt just like someone was sitting on my arms and legs and a train was running over my chestin pure darkness. I honestly have never been more frightened than I was at that moment. I cant realy even describe the feeling other than absolute terror. When it stopped i sat up, sweating bullets, eyes wider than they should be and i went up stairs from my room and sat in my kitchen for a while terrified of going back to my room.
I've had more experiences with sleep paralysis after that,i sleep with the tv on most of the time jsut so i can hear something comforting, but when it gets quiet in my room it always happens. A few times i saw a face or hands but the same everytime is that sensation that i cant move. After about the 3rd experience I think i can make myself have these experiences even thoigh i dont want to. They still happen whether i like em or not.

ANYWAY....... sry to make read that but its something that always troubled me and i thought i was the only one this has happened to. Im trying to learn alot about this now, i havnt been this motivated in a while. I wrote down my first dream last night and tried the dream recall techniques last night and didnt do too bad. I didnt get to remember all of my dreams, because i know i had more than one, but i wrote down the last one I had before i woke up. I guess without realizing it i wrote a full page abuot what happened.

The weirdest thing tho is when i was writing i was still half in a dazed and i wrote it while thinking in my head that it made sense, like it realy happened and i was awake to see it happen. After i read it over tho i laughed at how absurd it realy was. I am going to keep practicing my dream recalling and i hope people reply to this post.

THANKS FOR READING! ;P
