Just had a lucid dream this night!
I noticed I was in a lucid dream when I looked at my hands, apparently I had 6 fingers (1 extra middle finger LOL). Then I spend the rest of the lucid dream jumping off high buildings Was really fun, you can really feel the air around you, it's a hard feeling to explain. Lucid dreaming is starting to get better everytime!
You just did the Matrix scene there
Haha, yeah kind of!
And yeah, sleep paralysis can be really scary, but since you guys are used to it, it doesn't really matter. Just don't panic, think of something nice (like a girl) and the sleep paralysis will MOST LIKELY change into that girl! (Maybe you can even ask her (or think about) to strip!)
Well I normally do MILDs. Like an alarm that sounds at the middle of the night (in the headphones ofc, or my parents would kill me) and I wake up. I don't move any muscle so I can remember my dream, and then I try to sleep while focusing on my previous dream. This will cause me to enter the sleep state but beeing conscient, therefore you may enter a lucid dream!
But I also do WILDs. Like, going to bed, staying still (like don't move ANYTHING) and count sheep (lol). After some minutes (5 or 10 mins) you'll start to hear sounds and see some blurried visions on your eyes. You'll also feel up a weight in your chest (that means you are on sleep paralysis, so if you don't want to get scared, just dont open your eyes) and the blurried visions will get less blury and you can try "grabbing" an object inside that vision and voilá! You're in a lucid dream.
