Over the years I have repeatedly had one identical dream. It always occurs right after I fall asleep. Over the last year I have been reading and learning about lucid dreaming and the last time this happened I realized it was a dream but couldn't do anything to change anything.
The dream starts with a feeling like there is a great weight pressing me into the bed. Then I feel like my body is melting and flowing like a river off the edge of the bed. When I try to move I realize I can't move my body at all no matter how hard I try. After what seems like a few minutes of intense effort, I finally move as I wake up. When I wake up I feel very wide-awake and rested even though this is only 20-30 minutes after I had gone to bed. Also I expect to be in the floor but I'm still in the exact same spot I layed down.
I spoke to someone about this recently and she told me that she thought this was an astral projection or OBE.
Any thoughts?
