Speaking of sleep, I think I experienced a lucid dream last night or something close to it.

It was weird. As I went to sleep, I felt my body numb up. I was fully conscious, like I could think, but I couldn’t move or open my eyes (this is usually referred to as sleep paralysis) Then I woke up (but in reality, I’m still dreaming). I was questioning whether I was dreaming or not because I had just experienced sleep paralysis, and it really felt like I woke up. I had full conscious control over my body and my thoughts, and I could physically feel things. I made myself believe that I was awake. I went to go wash my face and went back to sleep. Then I woke up in reality wondering if I was awake earlier or not.

So not exactly an exciting or eventful dream, but it still felt real as fuck. I sometimes experience sleep paralysis, and when I wake up I have a tendency to check if I’m still dreaming or not. I guess last night I successfully gained consciousness in my dream.

It’s some scary shit to be honest.
