Evil saxophone returned. I was standing in a train car on an Amtrak-style train, near the door to the next train. The general atmosphere of the train was.. dark gray. My back was to the wall, with the door to my left. I was pondering something or other, and it suddenly registered with me that there had been the faint sound of a saxophone in the background. As I focused, it got louder, seeming to be coming from the other side of the door. The tune was going "glory glory hallelujah". I suddenly went rushing away through the air, in kind a wavery, snakelike swirling motion, or like the swirl of a balloon letting its air out, towards the other end of the car.
Awoke with sleep paralysis, which I tolerated for 15-20 seconds before trying to budge out.

Lucid books without titles
Coming back from bathroom on 2nd floor down to basement room (reminiscent of old town house family room). Just as I came off the stairs, realized I was dreaming, had maybe 7-8 seconds of lucidity. Walked to bookshelf, tried to see what was written on book covers, but did not see any text. Felt like breadth of environmental awareness kept narrowing into the book covers I was looking at, and I didn't have the ability to look back out and do other stuff. Woke up with (not scary) sleep paralysis.

Floating quasi-lucidity
Feeling of sleep paralysis roughly coincided with near-lucid ultrashort dream. Envisioned flying (more like floating) in a dark, stark, rusty-metal colored room. Could only see the floor and bottom of one wall-floating no more than 3 or 4 feet up, in "superman" (belly-down) orientation. Didn't think of any methods to strengthen the dream, and quickly fell back out to sleep paralysis.

Sleep paralysis++
Conscious paralysis before falling asleep. Woke up to wear it off. Woke up several times during the night, each time looking at my hands. At least one time, my hands (particularly the middle and ring fingers) seemed a little off, as did the view out the window, but I'm pretty sure I was awake but slightly discombobulated. Couldn't recall particular dreams.

Lucid blast in the elevator lobby
Gonna be a rough night. First dream, a half-black girl is standing very close to me, face to face, introducing herself, with some totally bogus name starting with an E. Some kind of barebones building's elevator lobby. As soon as I realized how impossible the name was, I realized I was dreaming, but quickly drifted awake (temporarily paralyzed for 15 seconds or so... yuck). Accompanied with the shock out of sleep was some kind of quick, crescendoing mechanical hum. May have just been in my left ear.
