A few nights ago I had my first sleep paralysis experience.

I guess it's not much but from struggling to remember just one dream a night a few months ago to this... it was a big step for me.

I've tried inducing sleep paralysis before, but his time it sort of happened by accident. I just woke up, rolled over and closed my eyes to go back to sleep... when a fuzzy wave came over my body.

I knew that this was what happens at the onset of sleep paralysis, so I checked to see if I could move my body and couldn't.

But literally a split second later I heard a voice talking from my bedroom door. It was a sort of electronic voice, and spoke some strange language.

I seriously thought I was being abducted by aliens! I freaked out and broke the paralysis and woke up.

I was still scared for the rest of the night, but the next day I was pretty proud that I was able to experience the next step of dreaming.

Now I just need to have a lucid dream!
