First off i wanna say i dont beileve obe is real, i dont get how peopel actually beilve your soul is leaving the body lol... am i the only that thinks that obe is just a great technique of acheiving lucidity that is very reptetive (leaving your body).

anyways i had sleep paralysis a few years ago up untill now and i am able to induce in the mornings before school now. ive only tried it once but i know for sure i can induce it. my first try was last night, i went to bed normally at 9pm, set my alarm for 5 am. I woke up turned my alarm off and prepared. I then quickly fell into sleep paralysis on purpose i had very little vibrations as it was starting. IDK how but i am able to control the vibrations. i read somwhere that you need to get the vibrations or sleep paralysis state to its max so i made the sleep paralysis stage extreme and vibrating. after that the vibrations kinda mellowed down but i was still for sure or at least i thought i was in sleep paralysis but i still could not move. So i tried moving really hard with my mind and i fucking sat up in bed... and i was like omfg im never gonna be able to sleep paralysis. I WAS IN a lucid dream OR OBE what ever you want to call it already but it was SO REAL that i thought i actually woke up. It was in the same room i slept so after i sat up i was like i guess ill try it again but then i really woke up in real life and i was in the position i rememberd that i went into befoer trying sp. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES, I HAD 3 FALSE awkenings. i woke up 3 times and was able to go back into sp 3 times within minuts.

So what do i do now? I have trouble going into an obe/lucid dream through the sleep paralysis stage. The first time i opened my eyes and i reached the floor with my arm and it was really hard. The second time i sat up. the third time i forgot what happened, but i pretty muched had a sleep paralysis and OBE on my first attempt at it. the only thing i have experience with is sleep paralysis.

So tommorow i plan on not falling for the false awakenings and hopefully i can explore. But i have a feeling its gonna be hard. How do i go to a lucid state from sleep paralysis. ALL 3 TIMES I ENDED UP IN MY EXACT ROOM AND WENT BACK TO SLEEP IN THE DREAM.

Wow, I'm actually sorta jealous because you seem like a natural WILDer! As maus said in your other thread, it would be great if you could get into the habit of reality checking every time you wake up in bed. For example, pinch your nose and try to breathe through it; if you can, that means you're actually in a dream!

As for turning sleep paralysis into lucid dreams, I don't really know anything about that as I've never experienced it before. Perhaps this video might help you (skip to the step about sleep paralysis): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Q8awiCSObA

Think of a specific scene or goal that you want to transition into. Say for example you want to teleport to the top of a mountain. Experiment and create a visual image of that in your mind now, when you are awake. The next time you attempt WILD, recall that visualization and focus on how it would feel to make it real. Once you are familiar with the sensations of sleep paralysis, you don't need to focus on them so much. When you get to that fuzzy state, turn your focus away from your body and on to the goal.

It you want to remain in your room instead of teleporting to a new scene, use a visualization of transitioning out of your body. Some examples that work differently for people are: rolling your dream body out of bed while leaving your physical body behind, levitating out of bed, or falling through the bed. Imagine what one of those might look and feel like and then focus on that imagined feeling when you are close to transitioning.
