CAMELOT FANTASIES

Slasher, most times I am aware that I am in the middle of a sleep paralysis and the reason why I try very hard to wake up is because, I feel if I am under attack then I will have no power to fight back since I have no sense of my body. In my last one, I was brave enough because my eyes were open and I could see my room and the fact that I was lying facing the door made me realize even more and so, I waited for a few seconds to go actually out of my body, but apart from this profound buzzing sound, nothing else was happening and eventually, fear took over me once again. I strongly feel though it's a work in progress. I've heard from researchers that lucid dream is only the baby step to full blown out of experiences. And I'd rather have OBE than be in lucid dreams because you are still not in touch with other realities or dimensions in the full sense if you are still lucid. That's my understanding of it. In fact, I've had a few out of body experiences, where I was thrown into this 5th dimension, but that happened a while back. It was spontaneous and I feel the reason why it happened was because I was having a hard time dealing with the reality that I was living at that time. Anyway, next time I have sleep paralysis I'll take your advice and stick with it and see what happens.

Because my dreams are quite intense I almost always experience sudden wake up and that's why I forget a lot of my dreams, but there are dreams that are incredibly hard to forget.  They are just too detail and vivid. So the dream tests will be hard to do if I am already in the middle of a very intense dream which will not take give me time to think or run a test, but I'll give it a shot. I've noticed that when my brother is involved in any dream is only when I start to question my reality, no matter how intense the dream is, it makes me pause and question my 'state of being'. It's always one thing leading to another. So my brother is the key but he's also a very big obstacle since I am incredibly attached to him emotionally. I feel things are trying to happen to me naturally but because I have this overwhelming fear and the fact that, I am so emotionally attached to my brother is what taking me such a long time.

I think you are right about the trance state. It does contradict with No. 4. However, one time I was crossing this building and I noticed for the first time that there were some very strong pillars in front of it. It was probably part of the building design I suppose. What bothered me was the fact that I couldn't tell for the life me if they were always there.  I thought they were never there and I thought it was the first time I was seeing these pillars in the real world, but they couldn't have made it overnight. That's virtually impossible. And I walk that street every day, so how could I not notice those before? It then begged the question, was I dreaming the same street without the pillars then? Possibly. Or did I just simply not notice these before? So there are things like that happen to me sometimes. On one hand, I am extremely detail oriented; on another, I don't notice it if there's an elephant in the room. Or perhaps my dream state might just be overlapping my real world at times. In any case, it's very interesting to say the least.
