I appear to be lying on the garage floor and as I turn my head around. I see the television is on, it display a song I usually listen to on most days. This caught my attention and soon after I got a dream like feeling that I could not ignore and became lucid. I felt like I lift my hand to my face but I could see nothing coming to my eyes. It was difficult but I tried to turn my head around. I could see a door behind me but getting up was hopeless. The struggle because me to wake up, however as my eyes open, something felt wrong. I quickly caught on again that I was experiencing a false awakening. I however could not move at all. That is when this odd sensation occurred of where I could move my body parts and get up from the bed but my eyes or head would not follow. I could even hear my feet walking on the floor but my eyes and head was still completely on the bed. Parts of the blanket was blocking my vision, even though my arms were not moving, it would feel like they were and would move the blankets off me. Then soon after I was able to move. The dream like sensation wore off but I never recalled waking up from the false awakening. Lucidity Time: Do not know.
