I've been here a lot to read about dreams and im glad to see others that have as much fun with there dreams as I do. I was just wondering how many of you wake up in your sleep paralysis state? This is a problem I developed a few years back and it used to scare the crap out me at first but now after reading this site I've noticed that I can take control of my dream from that point. I'll explain for some odd reason I would fall asleep straight into the state of paralysis but once I knew I was paralyzed instead of trying to fight it like I use to and wake up, I'd just close my eyes and roll out of the bed and start doing some amazing things. But the state was so hard to hold it only seems like a couple of mins before I wake up. This is what lead me to find this site. I never really read up on out of body experiences but I don't believe I was ever having one just dreaming lol. I look forward to trying out all the techniques on this site and who knows maybe sooner or later ill be able to help people with reaching of lucidity. Thank you all.
