sleep paralysis; lucid dreaming: thoughts?
I'm curious right now, truly curious. Now, don't jump to conclusions, though, because this has nothing to do with having seen inception earlier today. Speck just brought up sleep paralysis and lucid dreaming. Or rather, this picture: http://i34.tinypic.com/33ji72t.jpg And it is tempting.
Scary, too, though. Speck does it quite often. Just something she does, etc. And she says the weight on your chest is like... being strangled. And that whole episode is like being sucked into a black hole. Also, that opening your eyes is... freaky, to say the least? But I don't know. Normally I wouldn't be so concerned about feeling pain, but that's when I'm fully awake and I can yank my hand back if it gets smacked or somethng. If I did this, it... well, it'd be sleep paralysis. I'd be sitting there experiencing it all but I wouldn't be able to wake myself up because I'm not sleeping.
Speck also says it's tiring, exhausting, and a struggle to bring yourself out of that state. And that's not a pleasant thought, having to struggle to come out of that.
But it's so deliciously tempting beyond the fear, and even with the fear, in a way. I'd like to do it just to say I did and have the experience. I'm debating. If anyone feels so kind as to read this journal, please, pretty please, tell me your thoughts~? :c
