When you lucid dream, does it ever happen that the action just stops?
Often when I get to the point where I'm aware in my dream, the story will just stop progressing and I won't really be able to do anything. Am I really lucid dreaming, or am I just thinking while semi conscious? or does anyone know what is going on with this?

Hello

I had my third almost OBE experience yesterday night and I wanted to see if anyone else has had anything similar happen to them. My body turned invisible???

I was under sleep paralysis and in that limbo like semi conscious state when I knew that as soon as I exhaled the vibrations would come. After I exhaled and the vibrations came (they were very strong), I tried several times to just exhale and let them take me up to the ceiling (I feel like I'm being pulled upward) but each time after I would inhale I would come back down. Well... I gave it one last go, I exhaled and relaxed as much as I could, and I felt like the ceiling was right by the tip of my nose BUT, as soon as I inhaled, I could feel myself going down again.

I was disappointed and decided to try one of the techniques I had heard about to get out of the body, the rope climbing technique. As I attempted to lift my arm up to get it in the proper position, it was extremely difficult! My arm felt quite heavy and tired and it was difficult to lift it up at all. But after this is when things got weird.

When I held my arm up in front of my face to look at it (I guess I had opened my eyes?) I could see right through it!!! It looked like in a sci-fi movie where you can kinda see the edges (where the light is bending around the object) but other than that, I could see right through. I managed to lift up my other arm, it was see through as well! I began to get quite scared at this point and I remember trying to call out to my roommate who was about 4 feet away from me in his own bed. Of course, I couldn't say a thing and just began to breathe harder and harder. I was freaking out but I just had to know, were my legs invisible too? I tried to pull up the sheets that were over my legs, but more sheets were there, I tried again, but more were still there. I kept trying over and over again like it was some kinda nightmare or something. Finally I pulled them off my legs and of course, I could see through my legs as well! This brought me over the edge and I just straight up freaked out. I still couldn't call out to my roommate and so I just started breathing extremely rapidly. Then somehow I just snapped out of it. I felt like I had woken up from a dream (but my eyes were already open?), but I knew that it wasn't a dream. The sleep paralysis was broke, I could move freely again, I held up my arms, and they were perfectly normal.

I just wanted to post this to see if anyone else has had an experience that is similar to this one.

This is only the third time the vibrations have come on for me and I have never been able to actually leave my body completely (I always just feel like I'm being sucked upwards/rolling over but I always end up going back to my body).
