Hi just had a couple quick questions. Itd be nice to get sum advice Okay so ivelucid dreamt (or at least I think they were lucid dreams) twice and the first real one I broke out of my normal dream and I woke up in my room and took a couple deep breathes to settle down my paranoia. Then I wiggled my fingers and toes and broke some of the paralysis away. thought ”mmm I wanna leave now.... I dont likethisscary feeling....”. So I started contemplating ideas to wake up, since jerking my head dosent work (anymore). i got the idea that maybe sleep paralysis is acctully sleep walking!So i thought maybe if i sling shot my head on edge the bed i would awake. Didnt work. So then i tried reaching around for my phone to get to my flash light app and shine it in my eyes. It took me a while but eventully it appeared! I looked at the screen and the wierdest thing ever happened! It was some app on my phone i have never seen before! It read off some words that just sounded crazy or mad, and the backround was trippy. Finally i went back to sleep. The other time was in the day so i broke completly out of paralysis and looked around the room and got up and shut the door. Then i got bored and went to sleep., i woke up not knowing i was still dreaming but somehow i figured out i did, so i went back to sleep. Then i woke up AGAIN not knowing i was dreaming and startes getting ready for school and putting on clothes, and out of the corner of my eye a shadow movedquicklysoi feel to floorscared and realized i was still dreaming! I started crying with fusteration and paranoia, and then woke up in waking life.

So my questions are: 1.) Were those lucid dreams?
2.) How do i leave my room and out of the house without paranoia/anxiety?
3.) when i do start getting more advanced with lucid dreaming how will i talk to people if im scared theyll do something sudden or scary?
4.) How can i levitateout of my room?
5.) What are so calming techniques i can use?
6.) Im told these are false awakenings or sleep paralysis but thats all i can get too! I cant lucid dream. Like every time i realize ”hey im dreaming” i always go straight to my bed unable to move or speak. Any advice?
Thank you!

For each number respectively:

1) I wouldn't say lucid dream, probably a false awakening. Seeing as how the app wasn't on your iDevice, it HAS to be a false awakening.
2) I really don't have any room for legitimate input on this, but I'd just say don't worry about it, just calm down. Meditation will help (if practiced).
3) As I said for the last one, don't worry! It's just a dream. They won't affect you IRL. But if they do anything, just get rid of them somehow.
4)N/A
5) Remind yourself it's just a dream. If you know you're scared. Do a real RC with some thought and skepticism put into it (i.e. Wonder if the world around you is in a dream or not, as if you were currently dreaming. Look around, observe).
6) You can lucid dream. What's stopping you? If you're being discouraged by WILDS, try MILDS. That's what I got my first LD. I haven't even gotten close to paralysis yet!

Note: Even though I said don't worry, pay attention to what's happening.
