I haven't been on this site in about a year. I stopped purposely trying to LD because it seemed to be getting in the way of my normal life, I had a hard time getting through the day because all I wanted to do was get back to sleep and dream. Even though I wasn't trying, I was still getting an LD about once or twice a month.
Recently though, my dreams began to change. I haven't had a nightmare in years, now I'm getting about one a month. I always wake up screaming, but not quite. I think I wake up in an FA, dreaming that I'm in SP. Either that or I actually wake up in SP, except only semi-conscious. I say that it might be a dream because I can usually force myself to move just enough to do an RC, and it always turns out that I'm dreaming. Then I tell myself I'm dreaming, and I should be able to move, but it's always hard to move.
Whenever this happens I'm in my room, and my door is shut. I find that I have a hard time going through the door. I usually just try to walk through the closed door, for some reason I dont think to open it. Then I fly down the stairs, and out the window into my front lawn. If i cant get through my bedroom door, I fly out my bedroom window. I usually dont get too far before I wake up, and I usually dont think to do anything cool, just fly around.
I'm wondering if anyone else experiences difficulty moving in an LD? Even when I dont start out in SP, I always have a hard moving as soon as I go lucid. Sometimes I cant even open my eyes.
I'm bringing this up right now because I took a 3 hour nap today and this happened to me 5+ times. SP, Lucid, finally get up, struggle with the door, go downstairs, fly out window, wake up. Does anyone else have these problems? Do you have any tips to overcome it?
