My first binaural beats experience

I've had countless lucid dreams - lots of sleep paralysis - mostly evil feeling ones in the middle of the night, but this one was different.

I was getting sleepy midday, I put on a binaural beat off YouTube and started to relax. Eventually I felt that strange buzz in my head that happens during sleep paralysis but this one was being amplified by the binaural beat. When sleep paralysis hits, it feels like someone smacks me in my forehead and I feel my jaw go limp as my body goes to sleep. This time I felt like I got hit by a sledgehammer.

The visuals started coming in but weren't holding strong but I realized my body was free and I could move about. I wasn't anywhere in my apartment though, I was gliding and kinda dancing around on hard wood floor somewhere. I thought ok this is cool, just normal lucid dreaming kinda thing. I looked outside a large glass windows and saw rocky, dusty hills like you would see at an excavation sight or something.

I was struggling to keep the visuals very vivid but I was just enjoying the free floaty body thing. Then out of nowhere I felt a hand grab mine as if to shake it hello. Couldn't believe it. I couldn't see so I rubbed my hand up it's forearm and up to feel it's face. It felt dainty and feminine and insanely soft so I thought it was a women. I asked "who are you?" And clear as day in a males voice it said, "Sid." "Sid?" "Yeah, Sid." "I thought you'd be a woman." "I didn't know if I should be a man or a woman."

At this point I'm in utter astonishment and I feel myself slipping out of the experience and back to the real world. I'm asking him "where are you from?" But it's already fading away too fast. I can kinda hear his voice faintly but it was too late - I was already back.

Very, very interesting experience. Binaural beats definitely do something incredible. They amplify that frequency that I feel during sleep paralysis.

I've had lucid dreams where I'm interacting with beings but they never feel alive - well accept some demonic ones. But this felt very much like interacting with another conscious entity. I hope Sid reaches out to me again next time. Mind blown!

I just got a 9 week old kitten from the shelter a few days ago where he had an URI. They said he had completed his antibiotics but I told them he was still sneezing and they ended up sending him home with me with a prescription for doxycycline which has taken a few days for the local pharmacy to fill.

The first couple days at my house, the cat was sneezing dark green boogers everywhere and I could hear his congested little nostrils as he sucked back his mucus like a kid with a cold. His energy has been normal and appetite normal. He's on day 4 at my place and his sneezes are getting few and far between and there's no more green to any mucus that might come out if any. I can still hear he's a bit congested in the nose at times but it's a lot better and he's not snoring when he sleeps anymore.

I don't know if it's just his personality or his sickness, but his meow's are very quiet and sometimes silent. He doesn't meow often - sometimes it's a bit louder than other times but when he tries, it's very quiet.

Got the call that the antibiotics are ready but I'm thinking of skipping them now - I'm not sure it would do any good - he sounds like he's recovering. But this is my first cat. Is it risky to let it run it's course naturally at this point? I feel like since his mucus has cleared, whatever bacterial infection he had is likely gone or almost gone. But he's still sneezing here and there. How long do these cat colds usually last?
