I always recognise them, the issue is that when I become lucid in a dream, I typically have an immediate FA, the problem is that I usually find I'm either paralysed or I'm groggy/lethargic in my vision and movements.
It's horrible, because the effort of hauling myself out of my bed in the dream usually wakes me. I'm worried that I sub-consciously expect all my lucids to happen this way :(
Does anyone have experience of this? Can anyone suggest a solution?
I missed the point entirely
I don't think you read my original post :/

I misread your post, I thought you were saying you know what a false awakening is, but you have them, think it's real so you get out of bed and wake up. Sorry, it's been a long night for me :P
So have you tried using dream control? Verbal commands like "I feel energetic!", etc.?
I've experienced this before. It always helps me to just reassure myself that I'm dreaming and that I can move no matter what my dream tries to tell me. Then I 'thaw out' my body by allowing myself to gradually gain control, starting with my fingers and toes and eventually moving my core and getting up.
@Guycecil; No worries, it's easy to just guess what you think a thread is about :)
@Kezune; I like the visual idea of 'thawing'
I tried commands but my body is stubborn :lol: Before I've tried reminding myself of the unreality of my surroundings 'I'm breathing dream air' etc.
I have experienced this a few times. What I do is to first get up is to "roll" out of bed, its much easier to get up over all when I do this and therefore the effects are much less exhausting, Once up I usually immediately start to lose my vision. I counter that by removing the glasses I am wearing, because I they are OBVIOUSLY fogged up and impeding my vision. Works like a charm, also just opening your eyes wide very slowly and trying to look into a light source does good.
Thanks for the advice :) Unfortunately didn't get a chance to try it last night :/
