Around a month ago I had a dream where I was in a building that I visit regularly in my dreams. While I was walking down the spiral stairs, my friend, who was next to me, told me a good way to check if you are dreaming is to remember how you got there. So I tried to remember how I got to the spiral stairs but I remembered fine. I just thought since I was on the topic of reality checks I might as well to the reality check where you pinch your nose. I pinched my nose then I realized I could breathe through it. I knew I was dreaming so I tried to fly and I could, but It just didn't seem real. What I think happened is that from me reading so much about lucid dreams I had a dream about having a lucid dream but in reality not really gaining lucidity.

Last night I had a dream where I was in a tunnel and I had some conscious I was lying in bed dreaming, I tried many ways for spawning stuff like picturing them behind me etc, but It just didn't work. I think why this happened was because I was letting my dream control my thoughts while I was still half awake after hearing a loud noise outside my house.

What shall I do?

BTW: I am really scared about sleep paralysis so I don't think I can bring myself to try WILD.
