As my lucid dreams have been becoming more recent (I've had 3 consecutively on the 5th I believe it was) I have noticed an ongoing pattern. I'll somehow realize I'm dreaming, I'll calm myself down so I won't get too excited and wake myself up, and try to fly or something. However it feels as if I'm stuck in sand. It's really hard for me to move my body and eventually it'll wake me up in sleep paralysis. I'll remember opening my eyes for a brief moment, closing them and then going back into the dream 2-3 times with the same thing happening. I am pretty confident in lucid dreaming and really believe I can control them but this is such a big dilemma for me.

Also hi again everyone, I was on vacation for a week.
Florida is fun.
