THIS IS BEFORE I STARTED DREAMING, MEANING BEFORE I WENT TO BED: Okay so i had period cramps and went into my bath to calm them down. I started coughing a lot and my chest started burning, (not painful but, you know when you cough a lot your throat and chest get sore.) OK so i decided to get into bed and fall asleep. I was getting warm and had flu like symptoms. My cramps went away but I knew they were going to come back, so I told myself, fall asleep quick, let’s have a lucid dream. I kept telling myself that and after about 15 min I fell asleep and blacked out. After those 15 min of trying to fall asleep, I don’t how long after but I started dreaming. DREAM: IDK IF THIS IS A LUCID DREAM SO I NEED YOUR HELP, I AM NOW DREAMING. ok so i was playing volleyball in this gym with my friends Jeremiah, Katherine and I. My friend Fily came in occasionally. What’s weird is, in this dream, I am CONSCIOUS that I am dreaming, but I couldn’t control it. I knew that I was dreaming, but my serves, sets and spikes weren’t up to me. it wasn’t in first person. It was third person. Basically I was viewing myself. I couldn’t control anything so I’m wondering if this is a lucid dream. But I WAS CONSCIOUS. So after a few plays of volleyball I asked Katherine, “Hey wanna take this Lucid?” Meaning, “want to make this a lucid dream? “ AS SOON as she said “yes” My dream got black. Then it started to blur out into grey, and get lighter and lighter. And I was starting to become first person, meaning I could move my hands around in the darkness of the dream. I was calm throughout this. Very calm. Just waiting for it to turn lucid. But then everything went wrong. I felt a weird tingling sharp pain in my actual reality self’s back, and I started to freak out. I was now in sleep paralysis. I couldn’t move, and I tried yelling out “MAMI HELP” but I couldn’t get it out. I kept my eyes closed the ENTIRE time. My sleep paralysis lasted max 15 seconds. Then I went completely into reality, woke up and I am typing this now. My questions: Was The first “dream” an actual lucid dream, or just a regular dream in which I THOUGHT I was lucid ? Why did I feel that sharp pain in my back? Is it normal? I’m scared to try to lucid dream again because I don’t want that experience, so someone answer my questions please so I know next time, whether or not it’s normal? Thanks.
