Lucid dreaming has been effecting my sleep alot, because i have a fear of it and im not sure why.I havent been able to control my dreams at all, but yet i still know im dreaming and everything still feels very real. Recently i experienced the similar loud sounds while being half asleep that i read about in one of the forums, the forum said it was called WILD, but im really not sure what it was, i was half asleep and all of a sudden loud noises, like wind, it scared me so i quickly forced myself awake.Also in the same night, i experienced being half awake while still not being able to move, it lasted a couple minutes too, of being paralyzed. Everyone says im lucky to experience everything, I personally dont enjoy it and wish it didnt happen, since it scares me and i actually try and avoid falling asleep, its just a fear of not being able to control what my mind does, all my life ive been use to, close my eyes, sleep, wake up, and just in the last year sleeping hasnt been the same. ANYWAYS, these experiences always happen when I am in a VERY deep sleep and realize im lucid dreaming, then begin to try and force myself awake.I assume these different sleep "phenomina", sorry for the poor wording,occurs because my state of being half asleep and half awake,half my body fighting to sleep and half fighting to stay awake. So maybe it could help someone who actually wants to experience these things that i have experienced. While in a deep sleep try and force yourself awake, unfortunatly its always worked to make me experience different things...
