I just woke up from a 40 minute sleep, but while I was sleeping I was actually able to do anything I wanted movement wise, it still stayed pitch black in the dream. I was only aloud to grunt or laugh. The really weird part is that I knew I was dreaming during the dream. Like in the dream I actually tried waking myself up multiple times by jumping down my stairs. Any answers? I do/ have done drugs before.

Reading through this may be of some help.

Might be you are not used to them. I use a program on my iPod to do binaural beats (haven't gotten lucid yet with it, I will keep trying though with other methods). I know you aren't looking for a solution to it but try turning the volume way down like where it is barely noticeable. Are you dreaming?
