So ive just started trying to lucid dream after i had a great accidental one which made me want to experience more of them . Anyways, this is about me and my encounters with sleep paralysis. The first time i tried lucid dreaming i just laid completely still for around 1-2 hours and just laid and got impatient but waited it out..kinda forgot about it and then i heard a bunch wew-wew-wew sounds really loud and my breathing echoed in my mind i tried to stay in but i kinda freaked out and "left" by shaking my head. The next time i tried, i mentally prepared myself and laid completely still, long after, i heard the sounds and didnt freak out and just relaxed. So i hear the funky noises play and i remain calm and wait for myself to enter a "dream realm" but the sounds started fading out! I laid still for 10 minutes with nothing happening and thought this may have been a false awakening and tried some reality check (finger through objects, holding nose closed) and was very disapointed when it was a real awakening. i went back to sleep and set my alarm to do the wbtb method which did nothing aswell but i do recall a dream i had but it wasnt lucid at all. I even remember thinking that in the dream, it was a dream but forgot about it like a second later. . anyways, any tips that i may not already know? any good sure-fire methods you guys have? i am very intrigued in lucid dreaming.
