      Ok, I just... have to ask.

      If you were to try and fall asleep conciously, when you're NOWHERE near a REM period, would you still enter sleep paralysis?

      I know, it's a newbie question. I just had to ask.
      Lucid dreams, gotta love em.

      I just tried this and I felt it coming but then woke back up. Whether that was just due to inexperience or no REM is unknown to me, but still.

      I'm not sure, but my prediction is yes. It's just very hard to do and requires copious amounts of patience and mental discipline.
      I don't usually think, therefore I mostly am not.

      Yes you can. But you will more than likely fall asleep.

      I guess, but I mean you need REM to dream. Do you just get stuck there for an hour until REM strikes and then leave?

      You will fall asleep. Unless you purposely wake yourself.

      ..and no, you dont need REM to dream.. REM just provides the vivid, creative dreams... They are usually the ones people remember.

      Siphorix is right...
      You also have NREM dreams...
      but these are extremely illogical and abstract...boring too..

      You still enter sleep paralysis, but you don't get stuck in SP for an hour. You just fall asleep like normal.

      It depends on the person. The only time I've had any luck entering SP was in falling asleep for the first time at night.

      I pick up a half-eaten copy of a book by Neil Gaiman, and decide this is all his fault.

      From what I remember, right when you get into bed, you're not in a REM period, but people (including myself) have entered sleep paralysis. However, it'd be near impossible to actually enter a dream, because you'd either drift asleep or a dream wouldn't form.
      We all live in a kind of continuous dream. When we wake, it is because something,
      some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we have taken as reality.
