OK, I have had the luck to have a number of lucid dreams. However, my biggest problem is feeling this huge weight that presses down on me with the result I find it very hard to move.

For example, I was dreaming one night and became lucid. There was these dream characters and they happened to turn around and ask me to join them. Curious, I began to follow them. At this point I had been lucid for only a number of seconds. As soon as I tried to move I felt this weight that I have described. I could move somewhat, but it was very slow and very difficult. The dream characters even commented on me not being able to move. The weight just got worse, and finally I was on the floor, and then I woke up.

Another example was when I was flying in a normal dream, became lucid, and at the moment I became lucid the weight appeared again, dragging me down.

Has anyone any suggestions of how I can combat this? The weight never happens in my normal dreams, it only occurs at the very moment I become lucid.
