Did you try wiggling your fingers? After I do that I can get up for some reason completely fine. |

I had my first lucid dream in a long time and I was having some difficulties that I've encountered before. |

Actually many years before I woke up in the middle of the night and started walking towards a door in my home, but I felt pretty slow and it was hard to keep my eyelids open. When I closed them, I was back at my bed, started walking, etc... |

Lucid dreaming goals:
Fly( ) Tame a recurring wolf that has been in about 10 different dreams/nightmares ( ) Fly on a Night Fury from HTTYD ( ) Ask my subconscious why I have so many nightmares ( )
Fight agent Smith ( ) Ride a huge spider to a battle against a beenest ( ) Face all of my nightmare creatures and beat them ( ) Be a god ( )
I've got at last 5 lucids with this problem (all of my lucids), and I suppose that it's because I feel restrained in real life too, almost like I'm a puppet. Yet I don't have much to talk because I didn't surpass this. |

I've never even thought of doing that. When I get into a lucid, I get so excited I try and do something like run around or fly without rubbing my hands or anything. I never think to do it when I'm in a lucid dream. |

I know this is a relatively old thread, |

It was during a WILD for me. I'm experiencing exactly what you described. |

well i think its an effect of actual sleep paralysiys going on into the dream because your brain was experiencing that right before (Because you were WILDing). Hmm yes don't think about it or imagine a way out trhat seems belivable to you- so long as your braain is convinced |
|
when i have a lucid dream the first thing I will do isorder a pizza.
PIZZA
pizza is sacred.
yeah that's the EXACT thing that happens to me. i'll become lucid in a dream, immediately run and try to do stuff, the dream disintegrates, and i find myself stuck; either in my bed or in blackness. i forget i'm still dreaming, and keep trying to get up and move. each time after about 10 seconds, i have another FA. it usually happens like 6 or 7 times before i finally shoot up in my real bed at home and curse myself for not realizing i was still dreaming. |

This happened again last night. It kept switching between being awake, being lucid, and in FA. I don't remember what happened, but I had a DILD (never usually happens to me, this is the second time) and I was suddenly aware I was in a lucid dream. The problem was though I was standing beside my bed, and I could not move. I just simply couldn't. I couldn't spin around or anything but I did a nose reality check and while the image got more vivid, I was still somewhat frozen. It's like when you're trying to run in a dream and it's all slow motion. I think only in the false awakenings I was actually moving properly, but I couldn't realize they were false awakenings. |

That would have been my next suggestion in fighting this and lifting the paralysis, but I had no chance yet to give it a try. But as it seems from your description, it doesn't seem to work either. But if I get the chance I will nontheless give it a try. |

I really enjoyed reading this thread, because I experience this every so often. It is REALLY strange. Toes the line between being "just a dream" or some other reality. |

I have experienced this before as well, but before trying to do anything to get rid of it, I woke up. What I recommend is to "wait it out". Try stabilizing the dream while this feeling is going away. |
