Sleep Needs

I had a full lucid sleep experience a couple nights ago. I had woken up at around 4:30am and went back to sleep at around 6, and as I was falling back asleep, I was fully conscious and aware that I was still awake, and Still conscious even into a dream. I was astonished that I knew I was lying down, still awake, aware if day/time, yet I could feel as if I were standing up and moving around in the dream. The dream was very simple, realistic, vivid, and accurate to reality (inside of my grandmothers' house). It was like a total simulation, Like I fell through a wormhole. I was like how the hell could I be seeing stuff and feeling like I was standing up when I had my eyes closed and was lying down in bed and not asleep yet? It didn't end there. I stayed in lucid dream state for about 2 hours, never actually falling asleep. I had intense vertigo and feelings of ripples moving through my head and body and some difficulty moving. Not pleasant/restful. I have had lucid dreams many times before, but was NEVER ever conscious the whole transition into a dream from an awake state and it never lasted 2 hours continuously. Amazing, but not restful


I know, quality matters more, you need a certain amount of deep sleep and rem sleep in repeating cycles every night, but the total is usually good at 8 1/2 to 10 hours

I've been having weird lucid/ outer body dreams recently, like about 10 times now. I would feel my body become almost massless, and start moving either forward or down, and now I've gotten to the point where I can control what direction I can fly in and how fast. However, I cannot go through walls in these dreams, so it's definitely not real outer-body. I also can force my eyes open while in LUCID REM sleep and I can see my bedroom, but the image breaks up very fast in flashes or random colors and I get dizzy fast and cannot move, but now I can scan the room for up to 10 seconds at a time while asleep. Really Weird
