Im new to lucid dreaming, but not sleep paralysis. Ive had few lucid dreams but tons of paralysis. Anyway, I cant remember where, but somewhere I read that sleep paralysis can help you gain access to a lucid dream?

Does this sound right? Maybe I just read something wrong?

I have trouble getting into a lucid state so if sleep paralysis can help me I would like to know.

PS. Can anybody give me tips into controlling my dreams better. I always wake up if I happen to become aware im dreaming.
