I was tired from working a very early shift at work and went upstairs to nap. I thought my husband and daughter kept coming in the room and I wanted to tell them to wake me up soon, but couldn't move or talk. I realized then that I was having sleep paralysis. This triggered a lucid state.

I got up out of my chair and flew out of my window. I felt something pull me up out of the atmosphere and into space and passed all the planets in the solar system, passed many stars. I kept getting pulled (higher? farther out?) until there was no more.

I finally stopped moving. Behind me was something. I could have turned and looked, but was overcome with fear. Not fear of harm, or for my life. Just fear. Perhaps I was afraid there simply was nothing, perhaps I am just a coward.

I plunged back toward the earth. It felt like going down a roller coaster. I would have been afraid, but after all, I was only dreaming. I touched down to the earth (not with grace).

I woke up and found myself at work telling my friend about my dream. Then I realized I wasn't awake yet, I was in a dream, telling my friend about my dream. I wouldn't say I was really lucid at this point though.
