      Inability to move when lucid!

      Hey guys!

      I most often become lucid in false-awakenings when I'm lying in bed (in the dreamworld). I have this big problem though, where I can't sit up? I become lucid and I look around in my bed... I want to sit up and control my dream but my dream body suddenly feels heavy and I'm scared I won't be able to imagine what my dream room looks like. So then I feel stuck and can't move. Last time I tried to float out of my bed... fail. I know this is caused by my own self-imposed mental block, but does anyone have advice that could help me get past it? This has happened far too many times and I'm desperate!

      You 100% sure it was a FA?

      That sounds like it coulda been you actually waking up, but with your body still in SP.

      If it was a FA, don't be scared. Being scared/anxious does bad things to your ability to control anything lol.

      Yes, I'm sure! I have chronic sleep paralysis so I can recognize that easily. My last dream I was lying in bed and became lucid when I clearly saw a random hole in my ceiling and recognized things were unusually vivid. I did a reality check too. However, then I couldn't get myself to sit up and I woke up quickly! It's really strange :\.

      I once had a problem, with physical motion. If I used self-hypnosis to enter lucid state, by body would not sleep correctly. It was uncomfortable. Otherwise, in normal lucid state, fear plays a part in one's progress. One must learn to master it.

      Waking up too quickly can give hurt the head a bit. I once tried to see how quickly I could exit the lucid dreamstate. Will not do that again.

      Try using an OBE exit technique. Your body is in sleep paralysis already whether you are aware of it or not. It enters sleep paraysls the minute you start dreaming. Whether your fully concious you are in SP or simply in a dream construct, it should work either way. If anything it will set your intent to gain conscious control.
