Lately I've been able to become lucid quite often in my dreams. About 2-3 times a month, but I am having a problem. Every time I become concious of my dream, I find myself laying in my bed in my dark room not being able to move every single time I become lucid. My chest also hurts, as if I am having a heart attack or something, then I'd wake up.

Last night I had the same experience, but when I became lucid, I knew that my chest hurting was just a fear or something and wasn't real. So I ignored it. I was able to convince my arms to move and wave them around, but I couldn't get any other part of my body to move. My arms just waved there, and I could make them go through one another. Then I tried to put my hand through my chest and it worked. I still wasn't able to move any other part of my body besides my arms before I woke up.

Is this normal? Will it get better with practice? Are there any techniques?

i'm still quite new to actually becoming lucid.

P.S. I did some searching on the forums, but couldn't really find anything too related to my situation.

that's sleep paralysis,
when u dream, your body is paralyzed.. from rem sleep..
when your mind is waking up, your body is still asleep
that's hy your in bed but can't move..

u'd wanna work on geting back into a lucid dream out of that state..
as well as prolonging your lucid dreams
