Thread: Weirdest Feeling Ever... Help me Out

So I have only ever had a few lucids, and never one that was all that great. However...

Last night I went to bed at 11:45. I had a dream that I was with a buddy of mine, but all of a sudden I started to feel limp. My whole body felt like it was falling asleep, and I was helpless to move hardly any part of my body. The dream quickly faded... probably about 15 minutes later in real life, I had another dream. This time my mother was pretending to cut me with scissors, opening and closing them just inches above me. I tried to push her off, but felt exceedingly weak and was taken back by how powerless I seemed. I forced myself awake and felt myself struggling to even push the covers off of me.

I think that I somehow felt in my dream, physically, what I was feeling in real life. My dream body fell asleep because I was falling asleep (but how could I dream if I wasn't asleep)? I found the whole thing so confusing that I walked over to my bed to record the experience. I had only been asleep for one hour, as I checked the clock and it said 12:45.

Have any of you ever had similar experiences? Does the short time of being asleep have any significance to the type of dreams I had?
