This is ANNOYING i can feel my physical self too when i become lucid.. and after like some time i just wake up without doing much.
I read MANY posts on how to lucid dream, and it was mostly WBTB. Which doesn't really work for me.. cause i am too awake after functioning for a while and with 5-6 hours of sleep i really don't need any more sleep until the next day. But i still move ALOT whole day so i am TIRED when it's actually time to sleep.. like mind tired too. So i can't stay conscious like the other way of lucid dreaming.But the day before yesterday i didn't sleep at all, like overtime and stuff and had to take small naps during the day so i set 2 alarms.. exactly 20 minutes apart.. my body was tired enough to go numb mode or like in deep relaxation and so did my brain.. i slept during the first 20 mins normally but when the alarm rang i woke up.. just stopped the alarm without opening my eyes or moving any other muscle.. and went to sleep AGAIN.. but this time.. i went STRAIGHT into REM sleep like VIVID dreaming.. i had a VERY long VIVID dream in those 20 minutes, it literally felt like HOURS.. i was aware of me dreaming.. but i couldn't change anything yet. I tried this again yesterday and again became aware of me dreaming though not instantly it was somewhere in the middle of the night.
So i used to always know i was dreaming since like i was 11-17, i could change stuff.. judge thing in my dreams etc.. but the dreams were NOT vivid at all.. they were like very blurry black and white.. which made sense then, cause in my waking like, i could never VISUALIZE ANYTHING, like all blank(black) thoughts.. So idk if i was for sure lucid or not.. it was NOT fun being lucid(if i was), i didn't even know what it was.. i didn't feel rested when i woke up.. cause i was an absolute OVERTHINKER.. so i would judge my dreams, over think my waking life even while sleeping, so i started sleep hypnosis and stuff and can't lucid dream since.. i am 19 btw, now though i can visualize and have life like vivid dreams.. i can NEVER become lucid, idk what i am doing wrong so please help me.
