Thread: False Awakening Turned into Lucid Dream

Just the other night, I experienced a false awakening. It was about 3 something which is odd because most of my false awakenings occur in the morning. So I "woke up" lying on my back, looking up at my ceiling fan. Suddenly, a grey reflection darted across the fan, almost as if a ghost were in the room. I tried as hard as I could to get up but the sleep paralysis had already been in effect. After about 30 seconds or so, I was able to get out of bed. I walked over to my desk and turned on the overhead lamp. All that came from it was a dim blue glow which didn't light up the room at all. I then turned on the big light in my room; that one produced nothing. I was then sure it was a dream and my whole outlook became peaceful. I woke up at that, a bit disappointed because I was only lucid for a moment. However, I was glad that a nightmarish situation turned into a peaceful one!
