Hello Dream views, I just made my account so bear over with me if its not okay.

Lately ive been following Lucid Dreaming on the side, trying to learn it. But lately i have been having some problems like once a week or so. I find myself in bed mostly, almost complete darkness but able to see. I then might start flying around feeling i get pulled.
I cant do anything, I want to scream for help but I'm paralyzed (Sleep paralyzed?) I then feel i wake up after some extensive work think that its a dream and calming down.

The problem is that I get caught in another dream where I don't know I'm dreaming and then end up in the same horrible dream again.

Question on the side: How do i start recognizing my second dream might be a lucid dream that i can "profit" on?.

Thanks for letting me share, and perhaps some answers

Best regards Theis.
