I've got #1 and #5.

I often brag about #1 because it is awesome, I can't control the first half of a dream but later I can.

#5 is only triggered when I dream about jumping.

I have 1 and 4 myself. When i was in my Teens i used to control my dreams nearly every night, it was a lot of fun. But now as i have gotten older i tend to only dream about daily activities instead of cool dreams of flying, etc. I'm guessing because my dreams are mostly just normal daily activities that my brain doesn't activate self awareness and let me control my dreams anymore. Or it could be because i do not sleep that well most of the time, maybe has something to do with stress? i don't know.

Also with 4th, 3 or 4 times in my life I've woken up unable to move. A few times I've woken up, able to move but completely unable to open my eyes, this happened when i was younger in a strange home (was being babysat), i woke up and was panicking that i couldn't see anything, i tried real hard to open my eyes with my fingers, but couldn't pry them open, I'm guessing my brain was keeping them sealed shut for some reason, ended up finding my way to the bathroom and threw water on my face and suddenly could open my eyes again.. was a scary feeling.

#4 Sleep paralysis can also happen to people trying to get to, or back to sleep. This happens to me quite often once a month or more (runs in the family) it's not fun at all when it happens but very cool to look back and reflect on. To me it seems like only parts of my brain are active when it happens, the part that is paranoid and scared, think primitive brain.

Often I see some glowing green light flashing just before it happens. Very often I try to scream and nothing comes out just air, and I can't move at all, sometimes my eyes are able to open though usually not. Often it feels like something is pressing on my back, if my eyes are stuck closed I often feel like I'm wrapped in some membrane and can't get free, I'm a stomach sleeper and never get it when sleeping on my back.

I've hallucinated stuff in this state of sleep that could give most horror movies a run for their money, seen ghosts glowing through walls, and felt pressed to the bed hallucinating that I'm being eaten by something like crows, or just the feeling of being surrounded by menacing eyes staring at me while I remain paralyzed in the dark.
Sleep paralysis has been said to be what makes people believe they've been abducted by aliens, I've definitely experienced that one enough to believe it's probably the cause. As much as this condition filled me with terror as a kid, I've come to see it as a gift now, most people need to take drugs to experience this kind of stuff.

Night terrors are not fun.

Lucid dreaming can be. Have a meal before bed, or just eat a chunk of cheese. Sleep on your back. Have fun :P

Be aware it may incorporate paralysis. To begin with it's quite scary. The more you experience the more you can let go. Is the Succubus just a myth? Not for everyone.

I've had #4 (sleep paralysis) a bunch of times. To tell you the truth it is not fun at all waking up not being able to move. I always get really scared and try to scream or bang on the wall to wake someone else up but it never works. Also when I was sleeping on my stomach I woke up and my face was pressed into the pillow and I thought I was being smothered, also not fun.

I'm using dontbother as a handle, too: it's a bugmenot alias. Anyway, I'm a diagnosed narcoleptic. I take Modofinil to keep me awake. I have all of the cartoon symptoms and while sometimes they're funny, often they are not. I was a nightly sleepwalker until the age of 12. Lucid dreaming to this day is my primary "problem solving" mode where I work out simple to complex issues, ideas, and concepts. Night terrors have eased considerably since I learned the "trick" to waking myself passed on to me by my NarcoDoc some years ago. It's easy. Move your eyes. They're not affected by paralysis. I thought it was normal to halucinate during the day until I was in my teens. It's lonely at times, I must admit. But I'm married 26 years with two daughters. The hardest part for them? The screaming and shouting I did during the night until fairly recently. The best part? I've got a wickedly fast and detailed imagination. I'll check back for responses though I rarely visit this site. tw

I experience #1 and #4 and #4 is seriously grating my nerves.

I'm paranoid, now.

Will I sleep peacefully, or will I go through paralysis all over again?

I have #1, 2, 4 and 5. People are very lucky they don't have 5, I actually hit my gf in the face once, while sleeping. I awoke after the dream shocked, that i actually hit her, she wasn't injured or anything, but really pissed and confused. I remember I was in a fist fight in the dream, and actually felt a real fist connection, which it was. I also woke up in midst of a dream somehow right before punching, a few other times, but never told her about those, but that only happened for a few months. lol, she probably thinks I'm crazy.

#4 is also a crazy one (more like an adrenaline rush). I've never felt so scared in my entire life during those. After I learned it was sleep paralysis I was put at ease. As a kid not knowing what it was scared the hell outta me. One was flashes of "the devil" as a human disfigured face in neon red color with black shadows, then would flash to neon green shadows, all while laughing deeply. And the worst thing is you can't do anything about it, and also like phunktion said your brain is in a really weird paranoid state,crazy experience, but cool to look back on. Also the whole dark scary figure standing over ur bed looking down is a good one. Now that I know what it is, you can somewhat control your fearful thought and enjoy what episode will come next.

the night terrors (or really twisted and scary nightmares) happen pretty often, but my subconscious made a mechanism awhile back to kind of "stop" them. Most of the time when I'm in the middle of a "night terror", a pause button randomly will appear and once I push it I wake up. Kinda cool little technique.

crazy what your brain is capable of
