I have stumbled across this site whilst looking for information about the strange dreams I have been having for a while! Google informs me that what I have been experiencing is multiple false awakenings. As it has been happening for a while I can now recognise when it is happening as although I feel like I am completely awake my body feels very heavy when I try to move (I am able to move but it is hard work!!) Last night this happened and for the first time I felt like I was completely in control and even found myself floating around the house - which was easier than walking! However whenever I tried to leave the house I woke up in bed again and repeated this sequence 3 or 4 times - until I eventually really woke up! The first time it happened I found it very distressing as I was taking an afternoon nap and when I falsely woke it was dark and I had missed picking my daughter up from school but everytime I tried to look at the time or use my phone it was all blurry! When i really woke I had only been asleep for 30 minutes and of course it was still day time! Now that this happens more regularly I have begin to enjoy the experience as i recognise that I am just dreaming and would like to explore this further! Does anybody else have similar experiences?
