hiya,

i've been having lucid dreams most of my life. i'm 25 now and i remember having them when i was young. i always recall my dreams and i always have. i have about 3 to 7 lucid dreams a week and until looking up the subject this week i never thought anyone else could do it.

Anyway a good way to stop awakening once you realise that you are dreaming is simply to look at your hands. this is what i have always done if i feel im awakening and it works like a charm. however these days i never have to do it for some reason.

has anyone ever experienced not being able to move once waking. i have this often and find it quite worrying. it feels as though i'm fully conscious except i'm fighting to move. i have the feeling that a weight is on top of me and i feel like someone is watching me. is this normal?
