do any of you guys experience this? i used to get sleep paralysis a lot................. it annoyed the crap out of me.
sleep paralysis is when your mind wakes up before your body and you feel like your paralyzed and you feel very very very anxious. i always hallucinate when it happens.. they're mainly auditory but sometimes i'll get visual hallucinations, too, when i'm able to open my eyes. most of the time its either a bunch of women or children laughing in my ears or an really annoying buzzing sound. and i experience a pricking sensation on my sides.

and lucid dreaming is when you're dreaming and you KNOW it and basically you rule over the dream world like a god and you can do anything. i sometimes ask myself if i'm asleep in my dreams but then i always push away the thought b/c i never ever experience any godlike powers @_@ i just go straight to sleep paralysis.. i only answer yes when i know a nightmare's approaching. yeah, it's really creepy.
