Sleep paralysis struck again yesterday morning. That's two instances in shorter time than ever before. It usually only happens a couple of times a year. They are also the two most vivid and horrifying.

I woke facing the wall with my back to the room with a constant screeching noise. It was very loud despite wearing earplugs. I couldn't move anything but my eyes. The usual sense of horror rose in me but I calmed some realising it was just sleep paralysis. Then I could feel someone close their hot breath on my ear which panicked me. I realised it was my dad and then he spoke saying "If you don't turn around your mother is going to die" but it was not a threat but a warning. He said nothing more but I could still feel his breath. Slowly this all faded away, I regained control of my body, and calmed down.

Sleep paralysis induced hallucination check list:
visual (sight)
auditory (hearing)
olfactory (smell)
gustatory (taste)
tactile (touch)
proprioceptive (position and force of body parts)
equilibrioceptive (balance)
nociceptive (pain)
thermoceptivechronoceptive (temperature)
chronoceptive (time)
Yes
Unsure
No

Visual - I saw a huge black shape looming over me.
Auditory - I've heard screeching, someone else breathing, and speaking.
Tactile - My dog bit me on my arm, and had the feeling of someone breathing on my ear.
Thermoceptivechronoceptive - I could feel the warmth of the breath.
Chronoceptive - It seems to go on forever but I know it doesn't. I've heard family perform simple short tasks while it's happening but it still seems to take ages to pass.

I'm not sure about proprioceptive and equilibrioceptive hallucinations. The first ever time it happened I woke thinking I was crushing my dog under me. I could feel him bellow me panicking. He bit my arm. I felt like I was falling onto him crushing him in slow motion. There was nothing under me and I was flat on my back so it could count but I'm not sure.

One missing hallucination, who's name I can't find, is where you get the feeling someone or something is there in the room without any other indication of their presence. I haven't had this but I've been told this one is really common during sleep paralysis.

I dreamed that someone made a list of the biggest pricks on b12, and i was 9th.
I can also remember nearly posting "I don't know if i should be flattered or sad".
Do you remember the first person on the list? :P
Nope. I only remember that i was 9th.

Reminds me of one dream i had when i was really young, it was about some game that was basically made only for the Flemish part of Belgium, and it basically consisted of everything being corrupted and scary.

Had a really crazy awesome dream where a ninja clan had to help save Christmas when Santa Claus's time machine broke by spreading out ninja-ing all the presents down everyone's chimney's.

I dreamt that some wizard teleported me inside Dwarf Fortress and that I had to face some mad person who had killed 3000 people, whose name was, odd as it was, Shane Engiabo ("Newman"). I had nothing but clothing, so I headed out to an abandoned fortress, found an obsidian sword, and headed to a weird town called Swordgloved. Then I encounted the Shane Engiabo guy, and I threw the sword at him, decapitating him so violently that the entire town was covered in blood. However, his corpse still attacked me! I managed to evade enough times so that I could (somehow) grab his sword and use Magic Hour (a Limit Break from the Kingdom Hearts games), which destroyed him. Then I made up my own Limit Break named "Rat Technique of Sword of Pisces" which destroyed the entire town.

Then I woke up (still in the dream) and found Heartless, which I quickly took out, before I really woke up.

last night I dreamed I was at a public pool, going up and down waterslides,
it's like, the line going to the waterslide was a waterslide that went up, then you get to the top and go down the wateslide, which deposites at the bottom of a 40 foot pool.  then I found a plastic turtle floating at the top of the  pool so I swam to it only to realize it was plastic, then I made out with a girl I haven't seen in like 5 years.   the end.

"Rat Technique of Sword of Pisces"
Wat.
If I had to guess, the weird name is related to not only the weapon used, but also my zodiac signs. I'm a Pisces, and my Chinese zodiac sign is Rat.



Anyway, on-topic, this morning, I had dreamt that an anvil fell on my head and killed me. On 25 February.
...
That doesn't sound like a good birthday present D:

Really? Well, I'm a Pisces too. Isn't that so nice.

Anyway, I dreamed. Again.

I was in Minecraft, and I kept appearing surrounded by these red-brown humanoid things and dying. Then I saw an escape route and fled to a store. I entered and was suddenly twelve years old and looking for an axe. I found one and stole it, getting into a car and driving away. A few minutes later I was pulled over by the police and found out that my little sister (who was suddenly in the car) has a bounty on her head. Then I was suddenly walking down the forest from my last dream, except it was spring, and a herd of Stantler ran past and revealed a hidden cave. Then I woke up.

Maybe I'll get to explore it tonight?

I've had some strange dreams again lately. Some of the "usual locations" I visit, it seems. Add to the list, an un-marked nameless Japanese-like city akin to Tokyo, except the centerpiece of it was a Eiffel Tower made up of random junk/garbage which was placed around it in a way that it was a full chromatic spectrum all around the tower, from the base of it's feet, to the very top. This "garbage tower" was actually surprisingly beautiful, and was a definitive work of art, well deserving of being a centerpiece. As it turns out, beneath this structure are art gatherings, carnivals, and so forth, and people use the tower itself like a massive lost & found, and grand borrowing station, replacing what they take from it, and borrowing and returning what they take from it as well. Because this thing was made up of just about anything you can think of, you can find just about anything in any color on this behemoth of a structure.

All my weird dreams have got me thinking. Am I visiting different partitions of my soul? I mean, this crazy artistic city with that glorious centerpiece, that could be my artistic center, that strange observational physics-defying temple (where smooth feels rough, and rough feels smooth, and the unbalanceable is the most balanced, and etc.) is my willpower, or something, "The Concourse" is all my past lives (include the many other strays walking the many other cities and worlds of my spirit), which explains why they all know me so well (I must've lived millions of past lives or something, there were so many people there, of all kinds, breeds, species, and races; and they all felt familiar to me, like a long-lost sibling, or a fragment of my soul; The Concourse itself was also a melting pot of environments with portals to all different worlds, times, and dimensions; I think I used to be various gods at times as well, or something, because some of these beings I couldn't see all of, and some were in a flatter space looking to me as if I was a god myself in my normal form). Strangely enough, in The Concourse, I had quick and easy access to my Heaven (my many homes I claimed to be the best of homes (all ideal times of my many hometowns and such, including current life's), Hell (Custom built to punish myself for things I KNOW I really deserve for things I have done; even the Devil applauded at how well I built it, it even out-did him.), and Purgatory (Think of a procedurally-generated endless beach, and it varies depending on your progress of finding oneself, current feelings and such, and what you may need or at times, or want. I chose a beach because I get the most thinking and soul-searching done on it, and it's a pleasant landscape to walk across, and I can go an eternity on one, and not mind it so much; plus, when I take a break from all the walking, I can stop by a rest stop/cabana, rent a boat, kayak, or a surfboard, or take a dive into the ocean for a few moments. I can also keep myself busy building sand castles, doing sand art, or collecting shells, go fishing, and if I choose to do so, use them as symbols of my spiritual progress. Personally, I love my purgatory, how I designed it. Much like Purgatory should be, it's the most neutral environment I can think of for doing some deep thinking.).

Speaking of Purgatory, maybe I don't mind death so much, because I planned for it, so I pre-determined what I come to post-mortem. My hypothesis why so many people claim there's nothing but darkness after death is because they believe in that, and... well, be careful what you wish for, I guess. The reason people go to Heaven or Hell or Purgatory is because of their beliefs, and their sub-conscious determines their fate. After all, we are our own worst enemy/critic; so essentially, we put ourselves where we claim to deserve after death; and that includes reincarnations... possibly.  An interesting thought, if you die, and are no longer limited by the bindings of reality, and are essentially your own personal god, then why don't you imagine yourself out of your darkness or Hell you put yourself into in the first place? Personally, this is why I retain my faith no matter what; mostly to not accidentally screw myself out of a good ending for myself.

Sorry if this derails anything, but this is what came to mind when I reflect back on my dreams and dream worlds/universes. I mean, funny enough, transporting to various environments and etc. within my dream-verse involves all kinds of crazy ways from countless sources from books (Myst) to TARDISes (Doctor Who) to just closing my eyes (What Dream May Come). Now I wonder, how old am I overall? I mean, to have THAT much flexibility and forethought, I must be at least several-million years old, and I chose my current life purely out of laziness.
