Sickness causes getting kicked out of a lucid dream?

Hey guys! I just did reality checking and got 4 lucid dreams today. I was able to get a handful of lucid dreams even without them. I'm on my 39th day of lucid dreaming and here are my stats.

Dreams recorded - 98
Lucid dreams - 40

I've got 4 extra LD from my last dream journal and to add that up 16 regular dreams before I started which I added.

On to my question, I think I got sick halfway through my sleep so all the LD I got that night I got kicked out of my dream. Is sickness the cause of this? I'll give you my latest Ld on how this happened.

I realized I was dreaming after seeing my small dog got big and another dog's in. I did a reality check and I was dreaming. I'm calming down since I remember getting kicked out the last 3 times. No excitement, just pure chill. And you know what? I got kicked out into a sleep paralysis within a dream. I knew this because I was able to move for a reality check before the false awakening became a sleep paralysis inside a dream. I'm trying to move and no luck. Astral Projection? Nah I'll go for WILD. I'm closing my eyes and dream emerges around 4 seconds. Looks like the anime I was watching a while ago. I was surprised after that I was kicked out into a real world awakening.

At this point I knew something was wrong. I've been able to transform lucid dreams into a vivid land. I've walk through walls, flew, summon a car, enter a restaurant, change the weather, fight dream characters and so on.

Does sickness cause this? Or is my subconscious wanting me to notice it and talk? I'd appreciate an answer

In my experience "getting kicked out" of the dream can be related to sickness just as much as to other external conditions. The strange sensations (like extreme hot or cold, high fever, severe pain, inability to breathe through nose due to catching a cold, external lights, sounds, etc) can often quite simply wake you up, even if you are just trying to sleep without being lucid. The attention or awareness goes to your real senses in your real body, and boom, you are awake. So I would say this is normal, but of course it depends on your exact condition.

Hope you get better soon to continue this epic number of LDs!

If you really started just some weeks ago then your LD count is a remarkable and very rare achievement!

P.s.: Thanks for your reply in my thread, and yeah, the similarity in our names is cool!
