Lucid Dreaming? Sort of? WTF?

A few minutes ago I've experienced something similar to what Jadzia had described above. The strange thing is that it began as a brief sleep paralysis then became something else entirely.

I don't have sleep paralysis on a regular basis, what I had was a one off about... 6 years ago. I'm sorry to hear it's such a regular problem for you.
Hey, that's OK. :) I do have these things regularly, but I've now grown to realise it's not that big a problem anymore. Personally I find it strangely cathartic. :bolian:
The loud noise I sometimes have heard upon waking up with a start was unrelated to that experience. It is also a rare experience but it has happened more than once, perhaps no more than 10 times in my life. It wasn't a bang; it was as I described, an echoing door slam, like the sort of noise you'd get from hard slamming a 10 foot high heavy solid oak door shut in a large stone room, where the sound is heard reverberating for around 10 seconds into wakefulness. That isn't something bio-mechanical.
I stand corrected. :) Hmm. That's certainly something that can't be explained physiologically. Maybe it is a hypnopompic hallucination... or the formation of a dream memory in the form of a noise. Sorry, I'm just guessing and making wild stabs in the dark at this point now... :)
