Don't know if it's been mentioned in the thread, I don't want to read all 3 pages, but I've had this thing called sleep paralysis, which if I'm correct is similar to lucid dreaming. Basically I "woke up" and was lying in bed but I couldn't move at all. My arm was stretched out and so was my hand. My fingers seemed to be being bent backwards and I couldn't stop it. At the same time I heard this screaming noise in my ears. It wasn't a proper dream either, I can't describe it, but I know it was real life. Can't remember how long it lasted, but it wasn't nice and I wouldn't want anyone to have one of these things, really scared me.

I get sleep paralysis all the time. It's awful, but I just rest until I properly wake up. First time I got it, I really panicked, but there's no way you can wake yourself by conciously trying to wake yourself (or at least, that's the case with me). I ususally wake up when I try to alter something without waking myself up - the other night, I woke up when trying to make my arm comfortable while I waited to wake up. A different night, I woke up when trying to check the time to see how long I had been in that state. I don't panic half as much as I used to. I used to really struggle to move, and I used to really try to vocalise to get help, but it doesn't work.
