Is it possible to be awake during the rapid eye movement stage? I've once tried to fall asleep while staying conscious so I could try lucid dreaming, and eventually I did go into sleep paralysis. I didn't worry, since I was expecting it, but at the time I wasn't aware of REM and I lost control of my eyes and I freaked out and stopped... I told my friend to try staying conscious while falling asleep, and he said he got scared because his eyes went nuts-o too.
I've been reading about all this sleep and dream stuff... really interesting.
