Last night I took some galantamine and after almost dozing off I became aware of what seemed to be intense vibrations and loud ringing noises. I lay there. Then I thought, "Okay, is this it? I need to transition from this into a lucid dream."

I lay there and kind of tried to hold on, tried to visualise myself becoming lucid. And then I woke up. But then I had dreams. So I have a suspicion it may have been a false awakening.

I have experienced this quite often previously when I had been trying to do the whole lucid dreaming thing.

IS is this sleep paralysis? And if it is, how do I transition it to a lucid dream?
