This happens to me repeatedly... A few times a week, almost every day.

I have the feeling of not being able to move while drifting off to sleep... But I don't sense a great weight on my chest or anything like that, my limb just feel very heavy and often I am still able to move the very tips of fingers. I usually move my fingers enough until I am able to wake myself up.

I rarely hallucinate, and when I do my eyes are always closed and its auditory. Either a demonic whispering, or hearing someone come through the front door of my house and walking up to me with heavy footsteps and stopping right in front of where I'm sleeping. I am never inimidated or scared, I actually find it quite interested and feel as if I could smile because I know it's all in my mind

This evening I had a nap and kept having this experience of not being able to move anything but the tips of my fingers. I also had what I believe was a false awakening? I got out of bed and went to the bathroom mirror and knew I dreaming since the reflection was blurry.

I wanted to tell myself I was dreaming but all I could say was "I'm drea--".. Something was preventing me from finishing the sentence, then I woke up.
This has happened on at least three occasions where I've realised I'm dreaming, but each time I have had little to no control and wake up right away.

I feel like I'm doing something wrong - I've had the aim of lucidity for a while and thought I would have managed it by now. Should I stop moving my fingertips when I'm feeling "paralysed"? It's feels almost instinctive to do it...
