Absolutely! I just try so hard to scream and I end up waking myself with that scream. One time, I was completely paralyzed when a red, constantly shifting cloud with golden eyes formed in front of me. I could have sworn it was something like a demon, but I absolutely couldn't move anything even though I wanted to scream. Finally, I thought, "In the name of Jesus go away" my mind kept repeating it and I woke myself saying those very words. But it made me panic even though I knew it was just a night terror. I get them often, even though I'm about thirty years too old for them.
It's very often that I will have a dream or a night terror that seems real. I watch other people and I can see things happening but I can't affect what is going on. Again, it's like I'm paralyzed and powerless. I sometimes have precog dreams. I've predicted a lot of things or felt them as they happened. It used to freak me out, now I just write them down and -- if they come true -- I know it was a "real" precog dream. But my most common type is lucid dreaming (unlike the dreams discussed above). Most of the time I can tell myself to stop dreaming something or change something about it, but sometimes I am absolutely paralyzed. |
