I was sleeping for 4 or 5 hours, then someone came to the house and I had to take care of that. After about an hour and a half, I went back to sleep (but on a different bed, the rest of the house was busy). It seemed like a WBTB, but I wasn't really trying to get a lucid dream.

I fell asleep and found myself in a dark dream, with a barely understandable plot line, taking place in my house. After a few minutes, I was in my room (it was really dark). Everything was so weird, I decided to do a reality check. I poked my finger through my hand. Shockingly it went through.

Suddenly it felt like a wave of surprise hit me, like butterflies in your stomach shock. I could tell I was near awake and sleeping very lightly. I couldn't control much where I moved, it was still dark, and I yelled but my voice wouldn't come out.

I was then on my bed, eyes closed, but knowing I was still in a dream-like state. I thought that if I opened my eyes carefully, I might be able to wake up back in the dream and take more control. No luck!

My eyes were opened in the real world, but I couldn't move. It only lasted like five seconds, and I didn't see any scary hallucinations, just kind of a large black dot in the center of my vision and slightly distorted vision. I was terrified by the fact that I couldn't move, though. Like I said, after about five seconds I could wave my body around. I got up, all this took place in about 25 minutes.

I do wonder if my eyes were actually open though. The vision was the same before and after the sleep paralysis, just normal the second time. Unless I remembered the direction I was looking in when I fell asleep?
