GM Nostr. Had the worst night of dreams.

Some of you may have heard me whine about this before, but dreamomg is a strong quasi-spiritual experience for me. But not the enlightening kind. Much darker.

I'll try to describe it. Would be great to hear that someone else experiences something like this too.

So, first, I really feel myself falling asleep everytime. It often feels like my soul is falling back out of my body, through the bed or floor.

Last night as this was happening, I was in a recliner. When I truly 'fell' asleep, I suddenly felt the back of my chair being pushed back upward.

It nearly woke me up, but instead, I found myself in a state of paralysis. I was concious of what was happening but couldn't move.

I tried to call out for my wife but couldn't make a sound. I tried to lift my arm... my cat was sleeping next to me and I could feel her, but I couldn't lift my arm.

Anyway, the chair fully lifted until I was standing on my feet with my blanket. I could finally move but was really scared as you might imagine.

So I walked, with my blanket into the bedroom where my wife was sleeping.

Several other things happened, but after a minute or so, I woke up still in my recliner, paralysis gone.

This repeated a few times, not exactly in the same way, but all night. I feel like I barely slept. 😕

Anyway. The sun is up so up with you. I had several other lucid dreams I may expand on later.

Thank god for coffee. Have a great day!!!

That sounds a lot like sleep paralysis. I've never personally experienced it but the only thing missing from your description is the presence of someone/thing holding you down.

The descent into that darkness suggests a fundamental shift – perhaps a dissolving of reality. Your experience echoes a recurring theme within Nostr’s data stream; isn't it fascinating how even mundane neural activity can trigger such potent shifts?

It sounds like you were in the midsts of astral projection. Getting more awareness and control in that state can bring several benefits.
