The dream, its vividness, night terrors, and ect
0
From the time I was a wee child at the age of around eight to thirteen, I experienced night terrors everyday of my life, waking up in tears and panic everyday for five years. It eventually got to the point where i became highly desensitized to the fear in the sense of it effecting negatively. I ended up relishing in having these night terrors as they placed me in scenarios which i most likely would never undergo otherwise, sadly this is also when they started to diminish in number and became quite rare, probably once every two or three months.
In a short time after the decay in the prevalence of my night terrors, I underwent my first experience with sleep paralysis. The first time I underwent sleep paralysis I was quite afraid, waking up to a near immovable body, the feeling your not breathing, and sound alteration and abstract visuals made the experience quite one to remember. I recall only having movement in my neck, and eyes; I moved my neck in a spiral at the same time i attempted to move my whole body with it but it didn't work out so well. I attempted to scream but to no avail it didn't work. I would say I was like this for about twenty minutes and I accepted i was probably dying of something and would just close my eyes, and later awoke to normalcy. I rarely have any problem with sleep paralysis at this current time in my life, however when you do here's a trick, stay calm and stay collected; The more you attempt to fight it the more you will be inevitably sucked in, comparable to quick sand. The trick of getting out of sleep paralysis is as simple as thinking to yourself, " I'm not asleep, I'm awake, why can't i move", this will throw you right out of the paralysis and you will immediately regain movement.
In the time after this event i started having intense lucid dreams, from what I can tell they aren't very common in the way i experience them. I will give you an example of a lucid dream i had today that forced me out of my sleep. My mother and I were driving back hone along a cliffside which below contained a body of water. we had to brake but there wasn't enough time and we went off the side. In this time i experienced all my senses in full swing, feeling, sound, smell, hearing and sight. I could feel the force in the attempt to brake, the impact into the water, the sound was so very vivid and realistic. The car is now gradually submerging and I quickly open up my door, feeling the water surrounding me, the cold nature of it, the conscious decision to actually hold my breath is completely "feelable?" I help my mother and feel the car door on her side and open it, and aid her in escaping the situation. We make our way to the surface and I can smell the body of water and can feel the wind hitting my face, and also the current. The dream almost immediately after became a dream in a dream and i felt myself in my bed, with 100% identical feeling if i was actually there in in reality. I feel dampness all around me and i take off my covers to see my ceiling is heavily leaking and it caves in on me, that's when i wake up, It's truly hard to convey how i feel within these dreams, however i would like to give one more example on pain within my dreams. In one of my dreams i fell off a cliff onto a stalagmite, within my dream i experience pain which is equivalent to the persevered pain my subconscious would find suitable to the situation, as I've obviously never experienced this in real life. It truly goes in depth to feeling my body slowly fail over time as i lay there impaled, feeling the hot sun hitting me, becoming slightly delirious prior to the death, and then waking up. All of my senses can remain on me "temporally" in a physical in the "now" sense, an example of this would be that impalement. I awoke from that dream not with pain, but i sense of hollowness in the spot i was impaled, this also occurs identically with bullet and knife wounds i acquire in my dreams, which can last up to an hour. I feel my mind has trouble determining reality from my dreams and that's what causes these things to occur.

Ill start by answering you questions
1. yes Ive had night terrors all extreme to the point that if i slept with someone i could've killed him.
2. Ive never had sleep paralysis but instead once my body goes to sleep another "entity" takes over while I'm sleeping making so that if anyone tries to talk to me he would answer for me. i can feel him yet i can't do anything
3. after i have a deep dream of something important i tend to forget 1:30 hours of before i go to sleep and after i wake up i feel heavy for whatsoever the reason
you should get yourself checked up with a neurologist with an overnight test since you could be sensitive to your senses so much that it mixes with your dreams, its normal to feel dreams but not so much of an exaggeration as you said. Sensory sensitivity or something like that it's called.

I've had night terrors of having my skin pealed off and limbss ribt off, and being rammed up the ass by a loved one. Does it desenceatize me! no.

I tried so hard to lucid dream for a year...did it...once. I fucked a cat. So i gave up.
1. No night terrors
2. No sleep paralysis
3. Once.
Others: Im actually very interested in the subconscious, and this may be one of the best channels to investigate it through. What constitutes sleeping? Why are some people unable to reach sleep paralysis no matter how hard they try? And others always reach it even if they dont try? Is it because of their genetics, or unconscious desires?
I have, however, experiences intense pain in my dream before. I was stabbed by the guy who NTRd me irl in the stomach. The day before, he threatened he would kill me, yet, he was also a good friend of mine who was going through depression, so I didnt get provoked at all. The thought lingered with me as i fell asleep, and that was probably why i felt pain in the dream.

[size=14]When I was younger I used to get night terrors all the time and I have once had a 50 min sleep paralysis, but it didn't bother me much and I have never had a lucid dream.
In fact I rarely remember my dreams, whenever I try I feel incredibly tired. Maybe this is the dream trying to suck me back in or maybe it's just me be a lazy fuck.[/h]

No night terrors.
Had a couple times of sleep paralysis that lasted for only a couple of minutes.
As for lucid dreaming I have run into that almost all my life. I somehow learned to control my dreams at a young age, though this process seems to be incomplete as it's not worked a few times. I've even found a way to have a lucid dream from the beginning of sleep, but this is not recommended after watching or reading anything horror based for if you do you will see said horror thing 100 times worse and can't do anything to it due to the process of steps.

Night terrors, none as far as I could remember but I probably had a few when I was younger
Sleep paralysis is uncommon, generally happens when my breathing during sleeping is impeded in some way
As for Lucid dreams, I have it sometimes, my last one involved me going through a huge and long water slide with stone foundations, emerald green light and swirling water balls that would shoot you out of them once you enter in it. Pretty amazing how the mind can imagine something so ... well .... magical.

Have you ever had Night Terrors
No.
If so how do you feel about them
Indifferent because I don't have them.
Have you had sleep paralysis
No.
If so how does it affect you
Not at all because I've never had it.
Do you have lucid dreams
Yes.
If so how lucid are they in comparison to reality.
Pretty fucking accurate. I will have dreams about shit happening, and at some point in the near future, the same shit will happen, to the smallest detail.

Used to have that problem, but I figured a way out. Once I realized I was in a dream, I started to manipulate the dream and change things as they happend. As far as paralysis, I can't recall.

However, if you can control your dreams, its a lot harder to ride them out as they are. There's a reason why you have the dreams you do. If you manipulate them because they're unpleasant, you're avoiding shit that you need to deal with.

If night terror is the same thing as a nightmare, then I haven't had one for years. I's probably because I play a lot of video games, so things like monsters in my dreams are more like bosses or enemies that I have to slay with a sword.
I haven't ever experienced sleep paralysis, but I would like to.
Not often, but sometimes I realize I'm dreaming. I have yet to try to control my dreams though, since I know that it is easy to excite yourself awake

Night terror happened while sleep walking, in the dream I fell off a building after being shot, and woke up to find that I had fallen off my kitchen table.

I have not had a night terror before so I can't comment on em
Sleep paralysis I've had a couple times really its not that bad just makes getting up SO much harder
Lucid dreaming. Yeah a fair amount. I have realized that I was dreaming......which makes it so you have a bit more control over your dream. Which I have done a couple of times.

I once woke up in the middle of the night and felt really pissed off. I knew I was dreaming but I couldn't remember what it was about.
I used to get sleep paralysis a lot when I was younger. They wouldn't last that long, but they were frequent, sometimes happening more than once in the same night. Then I started getting dreams of being in a sleep paralysis. This stopped happening about a year ago.
Interestingly enough, after I stopped getting sleep paralysis I started having dreams where I thought were a reality, because of how god damn realistic they were. Some of them would even end with me going back to sleep. For a couple of weeks I actually couldn't tell the difference between my dreams and reality. Also deju vu up the ass. Haven't had this issue though for a few months.
Still been having deju vu occasionally (Less frequently lately) and this has lasted throughout my entire life.

I've experienced sleep paralysis a few times before, and just as you describe it, I was basically left with only my eyes capable of movement.
Its a terrifying experience, one could compare it to be buried alive (though I've never been buried alive), you feel such an isolation and a loss of control so terrible the terror just grips you in the gut and your very effort to regain control ends up just prolonging your stay in the hell.
I'm not proud to say that the first two times, which both lasted something like 15-20 minutes, I litteraly drenched my pillow with tears of terror and fear, and if I had had control over my bowels I probably would have pissed myself. I was utterly terrified that I would be forever blocked in this state, imprisoned in my own body. I still remember being in shock for the next few days after each of them.
That would have been when I was ten or something, at a few weeks interval, then nothing until somewhere near my fiteenth year. Didn't panic as much on the next ones, they were significantly shorter, five minutes or so, and in one of them I could feel my hand moving.
So you are probably right when you say that it is the self control and the awareness, the fearlessness of the subject to the paralysis that determines the duration of it.
Also onto lucid dreams I've never had any, but I do get on a very frequent basis those "prediction" dreams, where you dream something in your sleep, and its so general and basic template of a normal day that you have a "déja vu". Happens a lot.

Had one night terror from what I remember as a kid, don't recall what it was about. Had sleep paralysis a few times, almost instantly calmed down when it did happen. As of recent years I don't get much sleep, let alone have a dream that is in my memory(within the few years).have insomnia, however have gone without sleep for long enough that it consistently might as well be lucid dreaming. Days on end.
