What you explained- except for ending up somewhere lucid-is exactly what happens to me sometimes

Whenever I have a FA, instead of getting up and trying to move around in my room, I just keep my eyes closed and use my imaginary arms to rub each other and just keep my eyes close. I wait until my mind creates a dream scene and I don't do anything until I'm anchored into the dream, then I can move as freely as I want. I find this better than getting up and testing if you're asleep because if you're not, you'll ruin your chances for a possible DEILD. Either way you win. Also, there's the added benefit of not having to do reality checks because you already know you're dreaming.

Hope that was the kind of answer you were looking for.

What the hell? I thought I posted here...oh, well.

I know SP is suppose to keep our waking body from acting out our dreams, but why does it sometimes seem it is making my dream body unable to move as well? Not only that, why does it effect my vision in the dream?

I am assuming that it has something to do with the SUB C? It's happened to me a bunch of times, and it's only at times when I realize I am dreaming.. So maybe it goes further then that?

What you're describing is not uncommon. Many people report being unable to move their dream bodies, and seeing can be difficult. I am unsure whether this is because your WILD is of lower quality, or if you're just figuring things out. To escape from the dream paralysis, many suggest "rolling" out of your body as a good way to start. For dream clairity, you may wish to take the time to stabilize the dream...consider finding a pair of glasses and see if they increase your powers of sight.

Good luck. Quietly protesting the 10 character limit.
