Just achieved sleep paralysis without drug influence for the first time.

A few minutes ago I woke up from a nap I took because I was tired. My neck was in a really uncomfortable position so I tried to move it but I couldn't. I realized I was in sleep paralysis. As good news to me as this was I couldn't possibly work with it in such a uncomfortable position. After moving into a better position I attempted to go into sleep paralysis. At first I thought I was going to do it. I was feeling this buzzing sensation all around my body though I felt to fidgety so it didn't work. So this is the very first time I got sleep paralysis since I stopped taking a drug called seroquel. In fact this might have been the very first time I got sleep paralysis with no drug influence at all. Though nothing happened this proves to me I am capable of sleep paralysis without taking anything to induce. This is definitely good news for me regarding my attempts to get lucid dreams without drug influence. But one thing I did realize was this was maybe the first time I took a nap in the afternoon since I got off seroquel. I know the majority of times I got sleep paralysis on seroquel was when I took a nap in the afternoon. I'd probably get sleep paralysis a lot easier again if I took seroquel. But is it not a coincidence the one time I take nap around the afternoon I get sleep paralysis?

What exactly do you plan on doing if you find yourself in this state? How do you intend to use it for lucid dreaming?

Well I have pulled off a lucid dream through sleep paralysis about 3-4 times. The first time I felt myself being picked up and rocked back and forth over my bed. After a while it tossed me over my bed and I went tumbling. When I opened my eyes I was laying at the bottom of my eyes. I sat up and for a minute I was very confused but then realized I must of gotten literally thrown into a dream. Another time I attempted a trick I learned that when I go into sleep paralysis I focus on the back of my eyelids. Which I did, all I saw was darkness at first but suddenly the darkness got completely replaced by white. I then started imagining different things as I imagined them they started replacing the blank whiteness. After I finished I placed myself inside and I had another lucid dream. There was also another one where shadow people aligned my bed and I protected myself with a golden shield. Oh and another one where two ghostly girls dragged me into a dream setting of a dark attic. So yeah I had some experiences achieving a WILD through sleep paralysis.
