Snaggle:
I've read some other posts of yours, and I get the impression that you have a Wake Induced Lucid Dream, from the very start of the sleep process and are conscious the whole way through. At least, for 2 years if I remember correctly. I don't know for sure, but that is what I gathered. Forgive and inform me if I am wrong. And that after a night like that, you were not as 'rested'.
For me, I have never had a lucid dream at the onset of sleep. I have always gone to sleep for several hours first, (what I am finding out now is called, 'restorative' sleep, which is a good name for it), and then I have a bunch of dreams, some lucid. During the first sleep period I sometimes toss and turn, and wake up with the feeling that something will never be resolved. I never remember what, but it is always a tug 'o war between two things. And when I wake up, i can't remember exactly what the dilemma was. I have a theory about this phase, but that should be a new topic.
But if I was lucid and aware during it, I would find in unnerving. It would be a nightmare.
I had some night terrors as a child and they always happened in this phase. Is it possible that being lucid during the 'restorative' sleep phase can become a nightmare with in it, or perhaps later because the process didn't fully 'sort the brain out'? ('the brain sorting phase' - i think I've heard that term)
Or I have no idea what I am talking about.... I don't care, but want to hear your thoughts, and others, about it.
I am curious, so I question.
