This has happened to me once. It really confused me for a while until I actually started remembering what happened. It was like you said- I had a false awakening, then realized I couldn't move. That's what I thought it was, anyway. |

i posted a thread about this a long time ago but i still get these all the time. i'll find myself in bed, nosepinch, find out im dreaming, and then despite my greatest efforts my body refuses to move, like it's paralyzed. |

but if i were under sleep paralysis, how could i RC nosepinch and find myself still breathing? unless, it's really a borderline thing where i'm technically awake and in sleep paralysis but actually still partially dreaming. the thing is i get these a LOT, at least a couple times a week. |

hahaha no i am completely clean, i hardly even drink these days (2 swigs of whiskey gave me a hangover. TWO SWIGS) and if anything i get too much sleep |
|
I get these a lot, but they are nightmarish-related. Usually in my dream I will be in the same bed I am physically sleeping in and some external-invisible force attacks me. I immediately open my eyes to find myself paralyzed and hazy, still frightened and struggling to register what just happened. |
|
I had one of these the other night. I was hearing like a dog in my room (I don't have one) and couldn't move or even open my eyes to see what it was. Once I realized that I must be dreaming I was ok and flew through the ceiling |

happened to me last night. frustrating. |
|
I've only had it happen once, but it was definately a false awakening. I was lying in bed and heard the door open and my hubby talking to me. I couldn't open my eyes, talk or even get up. All I could do was sort of lean off the bed a little bit. I could open my mouth, but no sound would come out. |

My Dream Journal
This used to ALWAYS happen to me. EVERY night I was WILDing. |
|
i've had some of my most amazing dreams (in terms of control, vividness, and things going as i want, and being able to do stuff) as a result of false awakening and then actually being able to, yknow, GET OUT OF BED. so does anyone have some good ways of dealing with it when it happens? most of the time i just get the realization that "oh damn it happened again" and the dream will fade before i can solve it |

I am a newbie to LD. |
