Had similar shenanigans. Solved by consistently having half a glass of water before bed (yes, you'll need to wake up to let it out), and another half at night if there's any hint of sleep problems.
Great advice. In general I think water does help a lot.
I do have to be careful though, because with lucid dreaming your body might not always stay paralyzed. I've learned over the last 20 years that any time I find myself peeing in a dream, I need to immediately wake up and go use the bathroom before I chance leaking any urine in my sleep.
Luckily, even when not lucid dreaming I retain the ability to wake up at any time due to distress, a very useful coping mechanism from decades of night terrors.
