I've been seeing the shiny silver crystal looking lights since my youth.
Just the other day, I figured it's my aura or something to that effect. I can never see it when I want to, but I do see it under the most random of circumstances.

As for sleep paralysis & lucid dreaming, I feel like I've beat the sleep paralyisis and have moved to a higher stage in the game. My dreams are now challenges and I usually have to make decisions in regards to bravery and learning. Sometimes I pass, sometimes I fail. Dreaming is fun. There's always something to overcome and new people to meet.
