Lucid Sleepwalking?
Have you ever been sleepwalking and known that you were sleepwalking but you still couldn't stop yourself?
example 1: I was at the top of the stairs in the hallway, but what I was seeing was that I was on an old wooden ship and it was breaking up and I could see the water coming up through the boards. I had to be very careful how I stepped or I would just go crashing through. I could also see a storm raging all around me even though I knew I was in my hallway. I continued stepping carefully until I was across the area at the top of the stairs and then it was over.
example 2: I woke up and I was outside walking around my house. It was raining. Before I could go back in the house I went out back to the patio and picked up 18 St. Bernard puppies and carried them back to the garage. I was actually walking back with my arms out in a wide circle like they were full of puppies. I sat them down in the garage. I woke up again later in the backseat of the car. When I went back in the house my mom was looking for me. She said I was soaking wet and covered with grass and when she asked me what I was doing I told her that I was putting the puppies up and I went back to bed. (P.S. We didn't have any puppies)

This is very strange; lucid dreams occur during REM when SP also occurs. Sleepwalking occurs in slow-wave sleep, so you shouldn't be having such vivid...eh...hallucinations/dreams?
I mean, i may be Dr. Dreamer here, but don't take my word for this -- maybe you're having a problem with sleep paralysis? If so, that can be very dangerous. Although i don't think so, as elements of your real life appear in your dreams. Maybe you should lay off the LSD :-P

Spooky, that DOES sound like it could be dangerous. Lets hope you don't go jumping off a cliff while dreaming, you might wake up to find you just jumped of your roof.

I don't think that I am paralyzed if I am walking around. Doesn't make sense. As for the stages of sleep thing I often baffle drs. because my body doesn't follow the rules. I was just wondering if I am the only person in the world to do such things.
