My name is Tom and I am new to the site and very excited to learn more about the other life we live while our bodies sleep... maybe the one we should accept as reality. I am new to the site but no so new too LDing.

But lately I have been having trouble, its a hard time for dreamers.

Lately I have been aware that I was dreaming, and quite happy about it but it seemed I was still stuck half way in the realm of dreaming and waking life. Part of me realizes I am dreaming, I even talk to my DC's about it, but the other half of me knows I am on my bed, sometimes even to the point to where I will open my eyes while sleeping momentarily and see stuff in my room then go back to the dream world.

The problem is being, I can't move! I can't do what I want!

Is it because I am not in a deep enough sleep state and I'm too aware of my body? Is it because I am allowing myself to realize my body isn't moving therefore my mind can't either?

Never had this problem before.

Number of LD's: Six.
