Hey guys. I'm back after about a one month hiatus, and started up my DJ again Since I started again, I have been working on consistant reality checks through out the day (back on a schedule...school time!), and dream recall at night. However, I am very curious about Sleep Paralysis.

Why do people want to put themselves into Sleep Paralysis? What does it do when you CONCIOUSLY enter it? I've gotten to that point twice, however I opened my eyes and moved before I became paralyzed. I'm confused on what it does for a person becoming paralyzed while they're still awake. I mean, if your awake while it's happening, your not dreaming yet, right? hmmm....

I also am wondering about Lucids during brief naps (1 to 2 hours max). I get home from school at 1:45 tomorrow, and I usually like to sleep until 3:00. I find it easy that as I'm dozing, I recognize my "dream thoughts" (the bizarre abstract thoughts that come into mind as your dreaming. Like in the saltcube movie, I see images, but dont remember why or when I started to see it) Is it possible to have a decent Lucid Dream in one of these maps?
