Throughout my NL dreams, I do not really have as sense of my body. There are visual cues, and possibly auditory (I'm not really sure if I just know/am aware of what someone says or if the auditory signal is actually reproduced in my dream;it's probably the same).

If I am dreaming about, say, eating something, sucking on something or smelling something, sometimes my dreams get a note of taste or smell, but they last only for as long as I am doing the sense-related activity in the dream. However, I don't really recall having a body in any of my dreams ever. I don't see my hands, don't feel my weight, I just simply don't have one.

Today, during a nap, I experienced a random DEILD. Felt all the shakes and electricity in my body as I entered the dream. What I saw in front of me was not vivid, it was some form of my room, unlit. I tried to move. However, as I said before, I really don't have a body in my dreams, none that I know of. Trying to move turned out to be impossible; I was paralyzed. What I assume I was attempting here was to move my real body, and that wouldn't work.

In the dream, I started sinking backwards and downwards, which seems to be usual in my short lucids. Trying to move once more, I woke up. It was a FA, but then even that ended and I found myself awake again.

So the question for you guys is, how do I implant the idea of my dream body in my dreams. Should I, instead of trying to move, focus on trying to form my body? if I experience the paralysis inside a dream, how do I deal with it?

Throughout all of this, I am still really happy I actually am able to get LDs semi-regularly. Sure, they last for a second, but they exist. Random DEILDs ftw.

Thanks.
