Thread: DEILD and move signals

hello,
i'm new here, and i'm a bit lost in this forum, so sorry for when it's posted in the wrong section --' but here's my question:

(i've never had a succesful DEILD)
i woke up this night from a sms and i saw an opportunity.
i kept laying in the same position and didnt open my eyes.
my arm was under my head, and after 10-20 seconds it started to hurt, a lot...
i thought it was just an urge / move signal so i remaind still.
but i was afraid it was not an urge / move signal, so i rolled over (because i wanna keep my arm alive ) and it disapeared immediately.

now my question is, did i feel an urge? or did my arm just hurt because it was laying under my head all night?
how do you recognize the difference between an urge and real pain?
normally i lay on my back when i'm trying to enter SP. then i feel an urge in my thighs and chest, and they don't feel like 'pain'.
i think it was an urge because the pain came up after a few seconds... but, i don't know much about DEILD and sleep paralysis.

thx, erik
