Thread: insane experience

So, I woke up around 8 this morning and decided to try the WBTB kind of...I mostly just wanted more sleep. I dosed off again trying to daydream lucidly and soon I woke up perfectly still and realized I couldn't move. Sweet, I was in sleep paralysis! I could see and feel my blankets very vividly but the room was completely dark (missed dream sign). Soon I was watching a movie (i don't have a tv in my room!) and listening to some good music (alarm clock?). I can't remember the song, damn, but soon I began to move around the bed...like my whole body moved around the bed in circles. Felt like someone was doing telekinesis with my frozen body. I could feel the covers and see my legs and everything while I slid around. I began to not be able to breath very well and soon I was waking up. It ended suddenly. Coolest dream I have had I would say! My most vivid to date.

That probably wasn't a dream. It sounds like you were in a hypnogogic state.

do you know what that means?

Sounds more like the beginnings of a good Astral Projection -- Out of Body Travel -- than a dream. Perhaps you are focussed on the wrong hobby. Next time, will yourself up and out of your body. Don't go far, but go outside your house and locate something -- anything -- really that is not a fixed and permanent landmark -- a piece of trash would be best, and examine it. Then go immediately back to your body, before you have a chance to forget (most astral projections, like most dreams, are forgotten) and pop back in your body. then put on your pants and go outside and see if you can verify your experience by finding that piece of trash or whatever.

okay, but what makes you think it was more than a dream?

sounds like a cool dream to me

Considering the fact that you were watching a movie even though you don't have a TV in your room shows it wasn't an OOBE, whether you believe in them or not. So yeah, it was probably a dream mixed with SP or something...

good point wildman.
