Hey there,
first time im posting on this website, ive become fascinated by the idea of lucid dreaming recently. so last night, im sleeping. in my dream i ask a friend to the lightbulb on and off as i know this is one of the triggers to test whether its a dream. when the bulb goes off, the light remains the same, and i remember saying to myself "this is a dream right now". the next step, i assumed, would be i would come fully aware and become lucid. now i cant remember, but i felt some sort of pressure put onto me when i realised i was in a dream, and i fell to the ground. the next thing i know im in bed at night, and im paralyzed and cant move at all. ive had the paralyzed dream before, i think its something everyone has experienced, but for it to occur right after realising im in a dream, im really confused. this was the first time i believed i could have had a lucid dream, but it didnt work out. can anyone help, i dont know if i did something wrong, or it just wasnt for me.
