I rarely try to move. I'd simply float out of bed and ignore the blankets. If you find you can't move, you don't have to. There are other ways. |

I woke up after 5 hours and went back to bed. I went through 2 rounds of sleep paralysis. After the second, the vibrations and the sounds stopped suddenly. I was still back in my room in the dark. I reality checked and failed. So I'm dreaming, but I found it immensely hard to move. I tried to say "I'm dreaming" but it barely came out as a mumble. I RC'd again and passed. This same scenario has happened twice. I never really have strong visual hypnogogia so I can't just pop into the dream. How can I get out of bed next time? |

Sometimes I can't move or see, when I become lucid. I remind myself that nothing can hinder me in a dream, since I'm not actually using my eyes or physically moving. This usually helps. Another way I deal with the issue is "reframing" the problem to be part of the dream. For example, once I believed the darkness was just a bubble around me. I moved out of it and saw again. |

^^ That. |

In the little WILDS I have had (more of a DILD guy), if I am in a position where I can't move or cannot see anything, I will try to conjure a different scene where I am not in bed and not laying down, usually this helps to some degree. |

Try this: Imagine a metal bar in front of you that is secured to a winch. Grab the bar and imagine the wench pulling it along with you as you hang on. Or, imagine a giant clamp that grabs your torso, and is connected to a winch. All you have to do here is let the machinery drag you out of your body. |

Funny, this exact thing happened to me last night. For some reason I KNEW that the room I was in wasn't my bedroom so I did the reality check (failed), knew I was lucid dreaming, but for some reason felt extremely exhausted and couldn't see very well... I even shouted things to try and change it but nothing happened. Will try Jacob's tip next time it happens . |

It's only happened a few times during lucid dreams, but I have had many non-lucid dreams like this. Usually when I'm trying to move I'm staggering everywhere or I suddenly am almost completely paralyzed. If I try to talk, barely a mumble gets out. I've classically seen it referred to as dream drunkenness in the past, here on DV. |

The Biggest Risk in Life is to Never Take One
I had a similar thing the other night where my eyes felt really heavy, and they closed and the scene went black. I remembered a suggestion on here to prise open my dream eyes with my dream fingers and it worked. |
