Good question, I don't know if anyone knows or have tested that out. It sounds like a very difficult thing to do, but maybe not impossible. The lucid dreamer might just have to stay completely still in their dream. |

There are stages of sleep in which we are paralyzed and stages in which we are not, most REM sleep is in a paralytic state, but if a very vivid dream were to occur during non paralytic sleep, could the person physically attempt to act out the dream. I bring this up for two reasons. First of all, there are a few famous legal cases where sleep walking was used as a defense against allegations of a crime. Second, I generally do not enter a paralytic state of sleep due to a sleep disorder, and I was wondering if anyone knows, thinks, or has an opinion on whether or not becoming lucid while in a non paralytic sleep, would allow a person to try to gain control of their physical body while still dreaming. This is like the anti-AP. Using the sleeping brain to control the real body would seem to be the ultimate step in dream control. |

I thought that the point of sleep paralysis was to make it so you dont act out your dreams |

Well if you have a sleep disorder that interferes with your SP, I believe it could be possible - maybe if you become lucid, just make the dreamscene into your house, and walk around in the dream. Theoretically, your body would do the same thing in waking life. |

you just reminded me of something that happened to me once.i was having a lucid dream but all it was was getting ready for school.i woke up in my bed and my brother told me i had just been sleepwalking.he proved it by telling me things that i did in my dream .it was so messed up.....is that what you meant. |

Would you/anyone else be able to share what disorder is being involved? (For my personal knowlege.) |
|
Willing to talk about/listen to anything you have to say.
Yeah that was the only solution I could think of too if you wanted to fly or beat people up or anything - strapping yourself down. |

Interesting notion! I have actually seen this done. Where a person paralysed was moving his eye-balls. So that the people observing him, could get a yes, or no.. By twitching the eye repeatingly to one side, or the other.. (closed eyes of course) |

I know who I am, as I become...
I've sleepwalked plenty of times but there was one interesting one. I was in my bed, asleep and I had a cold, I was young. I saw myself from another angle, get up, talk to my dad and sleep in his bed because I was sick and couldn't sleep. I saw this in the third person point of view ( not in my body ) and I woke up in my dad's bed without realising it until breakfast when he told me what I said to him which coincidently is what I said in my dream...?!?!?! |

That sounds very cool - I don't know if you were controlling it from your dream or if you were just dreaming about it while it happened or what... sleep can be pretty trippy sometimes. |
