I could never lucid dream before I started getting insomnia about a month ago, it's like I just randomly acquired this skill, and tbh it's cool but I don't like having to wake up from nightmares...

I had a dream where I was stuck in my bed, every time I tried to wake up and walk out of the room, it reset and boom I was in my bed again. I remember being very sleepy and I couldn't tell if I "actually woke up" yet. The "dream world dad" suddenly said "why the hell is she still sleeping at this time" and I wanted to get out of bed and explain, but I couldn't. At some point I panicked and shouted "MOM!" loudly hoping I did that in the real world. The "dream world mom" ran to my bedroom and I said: "Mom, this is not me, I can't wake up!", then I patted my head and once again I was in my bed. Genuinely thought I was going to die or something (because I had never experienced any dream that weird)

Thank god here I am, no one was angry at me, but I wish I could've slept a little bit more😂

I don’t know why it has to take so long to fall asleep, yesterday and 2 days ago I went to bed at 9pm and couldn’t sleep until 7am, those were my worst nights so far and when it gets past 5am I start to panic.. 12th grader and I don’t know what will happen when my important exams come, especially when school starts, I’ll have to wake up at 6 AM..
