interesting how this thread turned out. I never had that lucid dream or sleep paralysis stuff, only "special" I remember was a sort of painful humming noise I sometimes "dreamed" of right after falling asleep years ago, it was so loud it hurt, but i learned to wrench myself out of that sleep-state. I tried to explain it to myself as a sort of incomplete switch into sleep, like my ears weren't turned off (hope you understand what I mean).
