It sounds like sleep paralysis to me |

Before I start I wanna say that I know this sounds kinda like a dream journal, and it sort of is but I have to explain the dream in order to ask my question. |

I'm back! Again? Uhhh..
Ok well according to your LD count you have only had 8 Lucids which points me to the fact that you are not very experienced yet. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing it just means you haven't quite yet mastered dream control and being able to control the things around you. Sleep paralysis I don't think could be the culprit just lack of dream control that you have to build over time |

Are you here with me?
Just looking out on the day of another dream
If each time you couldn't move, you woke up from, wouldn't these be considered False Awakenings, and not Sleep Paralysis? |

Not exactly, I think I have experience the same situation before like Erkums. If so, the scene of the dream is not changing dramatically nor is his mindset losing lucidity or altering to make him think he's out of the dream and in to waking life. I would rule out false awakenings because of this however I could be mistaken if it is him gaining lucidity again over and over with each time he is transported, then yes I would agree that it is a false awakening. It is rare to experience sleep paralysis and impossible to induce one in waking life. What you can induce is REM Atonia which is not as strong in paralysis meaning if you really wanted to move you can. However sleep paralysis is not impossible to experience in a dream. I suspect that's what Erkums was experiencing. |
