Ohhh.Thanks for explaining it to me StephL. When I say I couldn't move I mean it felt like I was stuck in a position on the bed but I could tell I was still in the dream though because images would appear, the lighting in the room was different, there was something that wasn't in the room that was present and I would be in a different room than I slept in. I recall a time when I felt awake and was watching something squiggly and black moving but I couldn't move and my eyes felt like they were hard to keep open. I think that may have been real SP. I still have the old dream sign happen at times but less than before. I didn't want it to happen as a dream sign anymore because I didn't want something that was considered bad to be my dream sign.But what you said makes sense so i might start using it again. Thanks.
