I have never experienced sleep paralysis and I don't want to right now. It just freaks me out and i'm not ready for it yet but I do hope to use it in the future to trigger lucid dreams. However, at the moment, I just want to master DILD. I have been doing all the necessities of keeping a dream journal, reality checks, ADA, etc. Right now, I just want to learn how to DILD and maybe..just maybe, I will try WILD or DEILD someday in my life. I'm just too freaked out to try it now.

Anyways, I was just wondering, if practicing how to DILD increase the chance of a sleep paralysis from happening? Will my awareness become heightened to a point where I will notice when I am experiencing sleep paralysis and wake up to experience scary hallucinations? Right now, I just want to practice lucid dreaming without having to ever experience sleep paralysis because i'm too chicken.
