im new to the site and also new to learning about lucid dreams!
last night i had what i thought was just another nightmare where i can actually wake myself up,
these nightmares were really starting to scare me as its like i can really feel whats happening to me, it never happens in good dreams only nightmares and only in afternoon naps or "the time of the month"
iv been reading up about it but dont really understand whats going on can someone please explain why i can wake myself up out of my dreams and why im lay in my bed in the same position yet cant move my body!! am i actually asleep or really awake??? im confused and a little scared.... im 30 years old and been having these type dreams for about 12 years
