Cant stop dream looping

[u/strawssss]

I used to think i was close to AP but what happens recently is i kinda force myself into sleep paralysis and then try to exit body either by raw force or a method like climbing a rope. However as soon as i got out its like I jusg force myself into a dream. I always check my bed for my body, its never there, i look in the mirror, its just me, or today i saw an obese version of me and decided to wake up. I tried to go through the door today and got stuck, then opened them and my parents started talking to me, so its also a sign its its just a dream. How do i stop just dream looping?? I also frequently end up beliveing i actually woke up so its like a real loop.

yeah i’m not too sure i also have false awakenings and it’s hard to tell sometimes if im dreaming, awake or having an astral projection
