I'm a senior in high school taking a easy social psych class thats kinda fun and boring but..while i was finding definitions on wikipedia lol i came across lucid dreaming. I read the article on wiki and found it very interesting. I dream every once ina while but i almost never remember them. So i went to bed last night thinking about dreaming and i did dream, i actually had 2 dreams but but i dont remember them really at all. But imbetween those dreams something weird happened. I realized i was dreaming, but all of a sudden rite when i realized i was i became paralyzed. I couldn't move or even really think. the only thing i did was look at a watch on my hand 2 times and both times my clock changed. then went black and had another dream i dont remeber. LOL why was i paralyzed?

Well, first of all, welcome to Dreamviews! Congrats on your lucid dream. It's not that often that people have one just on their first night. For the sake of clarification, we have around 5-6 dreams on a good night of sleep, some people even more. You dream every night, on a regular basis: you just don't remember it, because it was unconscious. Now to your question. What might have happened is that, once you realised you were dreaming, you got overexcited and had your dream end. This, then, made you experience Sleep Paralysis, which is a state your body normally goes in every night to prevent involuntary movement. To put it simple, your mind was awake, but your body was still sleeping. It is actually possible (and really easy) to induce a lucid dream when you find yourself in Sleep Paralysis. Close your eyes, roll out of your bed; open your eyes. You will probably have moved your dream body, instead of your real one. Guess I covered it all. Any further questions, shoot

ty guys. it was sucha weird felling being paralyzed lol I've never been fully SPed but I've been halfway there. I agree, it's a really weird feeling. Some people enjoy it, they think its relaxing.

ty guys. it was sucha weird felling being paralyzed lol I've only experienced it once, though I was in a dream when it happened. I wasn't even lucid, but I just couldn't move. I couldn't change what I was looking at and it was soooo annoying! In those cases, just relax and drift deeper into the dream as kromoh said
