Hi all,

Still new to this whole experience. I looked through many posts the other night and downloaded an mp3 from one of the other boards that was designed to aid in reaching a lucid state.

I listened to it several times (on repeat while I was laying in bed) and if nothing else it was VERY relaxing and some vivid dreams. But after it finished playing I was still "awake." What I am curious about is the condition I woke up in (a description follows):

I could open my eyes and look around the room (everything was kinda blurry). What surprised me is that I really couldn't feel my body, and it took me (what seemed like) several minutes to move enough to take the headphones out of my ears. It was like I was moving through water (or some other viscous substance).

Was I close to something like sleep paralysis or does this sound like something else to anybody?
