I have reaccouring sleep paralysis and I didn't know it until know. Thanks guys for all the great info. Every few months, I'll "wake up" but will not be able to move anything but my eyes. I alway seem to focus on the window in my room when I'm "awake" and seem to see lights flashing and even have had the feeling that I was spinning around. At first it would scare the hell out of me, but now when I'm aware of the situation I just keep telling myself, "I'm dreaming" and tell myself to "wake up". Just a few weeks ago, I was in this state and had my first falling sensation. I've had falling dreams before but this was totally different. It was cool and yet a bit scary. I wonder if there is a way to tie sleep paralysis into lucid dreaming? I'd love to take control of these situations and my dreams!

I hate when I I'll wake up at night from a dream sitting up or I jerk my head into the wall, but falling sensatins are fun, the feel more than real its crazy.

Falling sensations are so cool. Except that time I was actually falling out of my bed....

Haha...Kinda figured someone would say that! But for real, visual hallucinations along with a falling or spinning sensation are common with sleep paraylsis. I bet most or all 'alien abductees' have just experienced a sleep paraylsis episode and didn't know how to explain it. The similarities between so called alien abduction reports and sleep paraylsis studies are just too similar. I have been reading up on this for the past few days and it is really quite interesting.

I have dreams aboout being hit in the head with bags of money after I robbed a bank. I wake up to my wife hitting me over the head with a board.

Is there anything wrong with that?

All thru the day, keep asking yourself, "Am I awake? or asleep.."
Im sure you know "im awake stupiud!"
but..in a dream, you will ask yourself this, and if you look for clues you will catch on..
Whoa...this is a dream.. helped me get started.
Once in a dream, keep telling yourself I am in control.
