Is this even sleep paralysis?

[Raish]

okay uhhhhh yeah whenever i follow that free fall method, and get down to the low numbers in counting, my eyelids will begin moving, rapidly, hardly, and bumping against my eyes, extremely quickly. is this a step of sleep paralysis or am i having crazy eye seizures? but anyway i never get any farther, i always have to swallow and recount from one hundred, and after maybe three times i always just give up and try to sleep normally.

When I enter SP, my eyelids vibrate like mad so it is normal, no worries. It's also okay to swallow, everyone gets a dry mouth is SP! Keep trying!

phew, i thought all of my efforts had been for absolutely nothing and the eyelid thing was just something weird in my head. i believe i went into a lucid dream once doing it, but the dream was two seconds and i couldnt see anything so i didnt count it. my eyelids vibrated, i started seeing flashes of light, and everything felt heavy, when all of a sudden it all stopped. i reached up and plugged my nose and i breathed in perfectly. but then a huge wave of excitement flooded over me and i woke up. does that sound like it at all?

Yes, this definately sounds right. Good job!  The number one thing is to be calm in a lucid dream, although it is hard not to for a beginner. Was this your first one? Keep trying and well done! (Everyone gets excited and even though it only lasted a few seconds, it's still a lucid dream

Well done, may have been very short but you managed it, good luck and keep trying all the hard work you put in is worth it in the end
