Help Me!

6th lucid dream occured just about 25 minutes ago. Was the second lucid in a row where this has happened. So... I'm laying in the exact same bed in the exact same room... and it is so incredibly real that im not sure. My mother was laying on the bed and asked me if i was dreaming. I said i dont know so i did a reality check. I was. But i couldnt really move. I couldnt get out of bed and the more I tried... the more angry My mom became.... She slammed her fist into the bed and cussed at me. I woke up screaming and sweating... not sure why. The feeling however... of being helplessly unable to move is really starting to scare me. this is the only part of any dream i remember from last night. The last time it happened i realized i was dreaming and immediately thought i had waken up... however... I hadnt.. I was laying on the bed in what i believed to be sleep paralysis... but realized it was still a dream.. i was surrounded by demons and satanic figures.... woke up screeaming and cold sweat that time too. please help!!!

You have to help yourself by being aware of the state you are in, and mastering your own fear of vulnerability.

A few things 1. Be proud of the fact that you became lucid! That's step one and a definite indicator that you're headed in the right direction. 2. Try to relax. Now that you have an idea of what it's like to be in a dream, try to remind yourself before you go to sleep. Before bed, tell yourself that when you realize you're dreaming you'll take a moment to relax. Take some breaths, don't try to break out and try to change everything, but take some time to adjust to the dream first. If you can't move, just wait patiently for a bit and keep reminding yourself that you're dreaming. Even if things start getting weird around you, relax and just wait until you adjust. 3. Avoid stress. Don't plan to repeat the experience of being frozen and not being able to move. Plan on realizing you're dreaming and then going and doing... something. Decide what you want to do before you go to bed and remind yourself what that is during the day. Don't worry that things will go wrong, but rather just enjoy your dreams and enjoy the experience and if you don't get things right away, that's okay. You'll get it in time. Let us know if we can help in any other way. -Amé
