Acting out my Lucid Dreams?

Hey, everyone. Obviously, I haven’t had my first LD as yet. However, the thing that has been gnawing at me for a while is that is it possible that your physical body can move while you’re in a lucid dream? I don’t wanna end up trying to fly off my stairs IRL

Thanks for any and all posts!

there is Sleep Paralysis for a reason

No, don’t worry. Our body has an inbuilt protection to protect us from acting out our dreams. That’s called sleep paralysis.

Not unless you already suffer from sleepwalking with normal dreams. Usually, when I try to become aware of my sleeping physical body (like I’ve heard a lucid dreamer say it was possible for him to do,) I just can’t help waking up.

Thanks. Yes, I knew about SP, but I was just worried, lol.

You don’t have to worry about acting out your dreams at all. If you happen to start moving your physical body during a dream, the dream would dissipate, and you would wake up.
