I've been practicing lucid dreaming for about a week, recently I've become aware of Sleep Paralysis. |

I don't mind the feeling of SP at all, I think it's the fact that I am over excited by the sensation. I'll try to focus on the CD rather than on the feelings which I am experiencing. Do you find that trying to hold the SP increases your chances of drifting into a dream state? |

Personally, I believe it helps a great deal. If you find yourself able to surrender yourself completely to the paralysis, you can let yourself "fall," (although this is not quite the right word) straight into a lucid dream. Try closing your eyes and telling yourself that when you open them, you will have control. Another option is to simply take control of your dream right then and there. If you experience an astral self at the time, try to manipulate your hallucinations; it's all in your head, right? |

<div align="center">The night has gone; but I lay dreaming.
Morning has broken; but I lay dreaming.
Music plays on; but I lay dreaming.
The world got up, but I lay dreaming.
The whole world screams my name,
But I won't play their game.
The whole world can go to hell,
I just want to dream well.</div>

I can now, after no more than 2 months, WILD into a stable lucid dream whenever i want. I attribute this to my meditation and hold sleep paralysis for as long as possible. |

Weird, I only ever used to fall into SP before waking up, not the other way round... |

It will come with practice... You will get used to your SPs. Expect them and you will not be that afraid anymore and can remain fairly calm. That's how it works for me anyway.... but your SP might be scarier than mine |

Currently practicing WILD. I quote Kaniaz who said it best: "The point of WILD is to piss me off". Though, I have not given up, far from it.
