If you wake up using calm alarm clock when you're in REM, and instantly get back to sleep, you'll enter a dream pretty fast. But it's hard not to lose consciousness. |

Last night, I stayed up writing really late (well late for a work day). I come to bed at 11ish, and I am trying to read as my eyes are falling. I finally decide to sleep, but every time I do, I hear a loud static within seconds, and my body feels really disjointed and removed. It startles me at first, but somewhere in there, I realize I am entering sleep paralysis. Puzzled, I try to form a dream around me while this happens and it works. My lucid control was very, very low, and my recall was far worse, but it was a dream that went from completely awake to WILD in a short span. |

Never had it before but sounds really nice. Thanks for sharing. |

More likely your exhaustion caused your body to fall asleep very quickly and you were able to witness NREM stages 1 and 2, you don't enter REM sleep when first going to bed so you would not have entered REM atonia. But you constituted a dream, and was lucid, in NREM (hence the crappy visuals/control) so you should be proud of that at least. WILDing through to REM at bedtime should take well over an hour of navigating NREM (including the silence of delta) sleep. |

Always, no sometimes think it's me,
But you know I know when it's a dream
I think I know I mean a yes
But it's all wrong
That is I think I disagree

Are you sure it was sleep paralysis? Sleep paralysis is rare event where you can't move on falling asleep or waking up, it can't be induced and happens only like once and twice through lifetime unless sleep disorder. But the sensations you stated sounds like normal sensations of falling asleep and HH. |
