My first question is in regards to becoming paralyzed - or numb.
I have only tried to become lucid in my dreams a few times (though, never falling asleep!).
The first time was a long time ago, and I never fell asleep.

Yesterday I tried lucid dreaming. It started with a feeling of lightness in my legs.
This occurred after some few minutes. This quickly came in my hands as well.
I tried this during the day, after having slept too long.
I waited for 40 minutes (literally) without interruption. Nothing changed. I was ONLY numb in my feet (and up until legs), and in my hands (and up until my arm parting).
After the 40 minutes had passed, I decided to stop it since it had taken too long, and nothing was happening.
It felt extremely good, having relaxed for 40 minutes.. but no lucid dreaming.

Then I tried today, at 2 in the morning (02:00 - figure that out, Americans).
What happened was that my feeling of my legs being light actually turned into an insane numbness. Like my legs were sleeping.
After having waited 10 minutes or so, I became numb all the way up until some 10 centimeters from my crotch (I have very long legs - 2 meters tall.)

No matter how long I waited, I couldn't get my numbness to reach my chest.
Can anyone explain why this is so? Even after 40 minutes - no numbness in my chest.


My other question is in regards to psychosis.
I have been diagnosed with a type of psychosis - which means I am not delusional, I have not lost contact with reality (though, I have a VERY intense case of derealization and partial depersonalization.)
I DO hear voices some times. These voices are not "real-like". It's not like I think, "Oh my, someone is talking to me.."
It's difficult to explain.
My question is whether anyone with psychosis knows if lucid dreaming is going to be odd when one suffers from this disorder.
Oh, and just a reminder for people: psychosis can be derived from nutritional deficiencies, psychical illness (seizures, bacteria infections, etc.), and MANY other things. My own psychosis has nothing to do with brain disorders - or chemical imbalance thereof.
I do not take any anti psychotic medications!

Can anyone be so kind to explain these things to me? Thanks in advance.
