Why WILD?

[Shift]

What? SP is a disorder? This is the first time I've ever heard anyone refer to SP as anything but a normal step on the way to a WILD (or other dream, but you're normally asleep when it happens). That's because most people are completely uneducated idiots running around and spreading misinformation without doing the slightest bit of intelligent research beforehand. What Every Lucid Dreamer Should Know About Sleep Paralysis SP is far from normal, it is not a step to anything (though it can be taken advantage of), it has very little to do with dreams, and generally speaking it happens just as you are about to fall asleep or when you have just woken up. The majority of people mistakenly refer to REM atonia as SP, and when they talk about whatever it is they mean to talk about they usually do it inaccurately as well. The majority of people mistakenly assume that simple HH is SP. Whenever you see SP spoken of on here, be very critical and pay very close attention to what it is the person is actually speaking of.
