Questions about Sleep Paralysis
So I used to think my natural ability to enter sleep paralysis was more of a curse than a blessing until I researched lucid dreaming. I can enter sleep paralysis fine, and almost at will. The thing is that I can never just let myself go. I always try to fight it and wake up because I don't enjoy the feeling of being fully paralyzed. So I have some questions about SP itself.
- About how long do you have to be in the sleep paralysis state until you finally reach the lucid dreaming state?
- While I'm in SP, is it possible to wake up to external forces? I.E. if someone else makes a loud noise or shakes me. Would that force me out of SP?
- Is it true that it's a lot easier to LD through SP (WILD)? I think I would rather use DILD since I don't like SP, but I haven't had any luck with DILD.
