hi hello i am not a pro in this area BUT as far as i know, the normal thing is that when you're freaked out in your dream while knowing damn well that you're in a dream and try to wake up, you will wake up almost immediately. that's usually what happens to people who failed to shift, and me on a daily basis as well. but again, i'm not a pro so i'm not sure :)
You might have shifted, did you smell? Hear well? Taste? Feel pain?
first of, not on mangago cuz ull get restricted!
im not100% sure abour ur experience but when we dream, our body is already in a state of paralysis to stop us from acting out our dream in real life, im sure you were just having a scary (lucid?) dream, got very shocked and woke up before ur body did, hence why u couldn't even open ur eyes. ive also had a scary dream like that aswell! u see, its possible, but shifting on ur first try is kinda hard! esp when u have no intention to. although if you are still weary, try and state that you are not trying to shift, and u want to stay in ur current reality next time u fall asleep.
oh sorry, i don't really have anyone to ask on. But, I was not dreaming of something scary rather I was dreaming of someone I like lmao. I probably got scared when my vision started spinning that's why I woke up before my body did as you said. Thank you very much for explaining <33
I didn't smell or taste anything. But I think I heard voices
Yes, that's why I was confused as I was not able to wake up almost immediately because i usually do if i' dreaming of something i didn't like. ╥﹏╥
And I also saw someone but closed my eyes
so i'm not even trying to shift realities but, i was having this very realistic dream and as i was walking in that dream it started feeling real and my vision was spinning for some reason. BUT i got scared and tried to wake up by moving but I couldn't and it feels as if my body was not concious. Now idk if it was shifting or I was just having a sleep paralysis. although i also wasn't able to open my eyes that easily either.
