For about a year now I have been experiencing on and off very odd types of Lucid Dreaming.
What occurs is, I go to sleep and at some point in the night, I feel like I wake up. However I'm unable to open my eyes fully or to control my movements fully either. I can sort of see parts of my room and focus on various objects. Odd things begin to occur at this point, I often feel like I'm being painlessly crushed or my legs/arms are being bent. Sometimes I feel the sensation like hands are touching me all over or even tickling me. When I look around the room I quickly realize I'm still dreaming because a lot of the objects in the room look odd or there is something odd about the arrangement. I think on 1 or 2 occasions I have seen other people with me but it's very rare. When I look out the window when I occasionally get up, I see odd environments that are obviously not my backyard. Sometimes while trying to get up I begin to drift off the bed, everything looks kinda fuzzy but it's real time. Unlike a dream where you sort of only remember it once you have woken up, also everything a bit more clear and I have some control.
During all of this I sleep alone, I'm never frightened because I'm so used to it. Occasionally I also hear loud music but it's rare. The fact that I cannot force myself to end the episode is annoying and I'm often annoyed by the tickling or crushing sensation. Sometimes I wake up numerous times, however I still haven't woke up, which is always a weird experience. It's like a loop.
I was able to time it once because as I was falling asleep I looked at my alarm clock, anyways an episode felt like 5 or 6 minutes. When I looked at my watch after I woke up only about 1 or 2 minutes passed if not less.
One time while trying to wake myself up during one of these episodes I grabbed a bottle of water on a nightstand table next to my bed and tried to poor it on my face. Instead the water began floating and I saw the most insane looking effect.
Very rarely I have these dreams in other places of the house, like the washroom.
There is 2 types of ways I see everything occurring either in a slightly fuzzy regular human night vision. Or in a yellow laminated fov 120 (reference to quake, because the view is more panoramic then humans can actually see)
I don't really mind my experiences, however I wish I could control them better. Has anyone else experienced this? Any tips in trying to control the situation?
