Lucid dreams and sleep paralysis

I started having lucid dreams with sleep paralysis in high school. At the time, it was very infrequent. Once in a blue moon. The frequency of these events has increased since the lyme symptoms started popping up - about two years ago. Maybe a little more. They now happen all the time.

Scenario: I'm asleep. I suddenly realize I'm dreaming and want to wake up. I can't. My body won't move and I'm overcome with panic. Sometimes I hear odd noises (whispering, chattering, high pitched tones). I try to call my husband, but obviously can't talk. I struggle and struggle until I finally wake up sore and even more tired than before. They only happen in the daytime. Never at night.

I have tried NOT struggling. I have tried to embrace the lucid dreams and have, in some, flown around my apartment. In these dreams, I can never leave my apartment. It's so weird, but I'm always home. Always in my own house.

I still find myself panicking because I can't wake up or move, even though I know what's going on and can occasionally control them. They're still terrifying. As a result, I don't nap during the day if I can help it and I'm not resting. Changing positions doesn't help. They happen no matter how I sleep. Like today, I'm exhausted and want to sleep, but just can't. I can't do those dreams, they're so tiring and my body is sore after.

Does anyone have any insight or cures? Herbs? Essential oils? Something. I can't take it anymore. Does this happen to anyone else?

It happens to me occasionally, but usually I can feel when it's going to happen and I prepare myself before sleep so if it happens I know that I'm dreaming and I almost always can stop that dream and wake up.

Don't let it be stronger than you. Just try with all your power to move and you'll wake up.

Last time it happened to me when I had brain fog and herx. I was trying so much to shake my head in that dream to wake up myself and was angry why is that happening. It helped. I never want to embrace it.

I never sleep on my back because it can provoke that dreams in my case.

If you're religious prayer before sleep may help.
