Was aware of Sleep Paralysis!$#%@ (I think)

When my pc alarm initiated at around 6:00 AM (I was trying CrazyInsane’s CANWILD method), I kept my eyes closed, remained still, and said that I would lucid dream. Everything was a rush, images started manifesting into my head, and these hallucinations weren’t that scary! But this was the first time that I was aware of experiencing sleep paralysis! After the images stopped, I remained calm still, and tried to open my dream eyes, but sadly I opened my eyes in waking life

BUT BEFORE I did that, I was standing on some green brown floor, and it felt as if I was getting up from lying down. I’m even more pumped up to try this out some more! SO CLOSE!! I've had a few lucid dreams before, but I'm starting to get used to the CANWILD method of CrazyInsane. I find that everytime that I wake up around 3-6AM, I feel more flimsy, and I guess 6AM is a REM cycle for me

I had a lot of dreams before this time though, just wasn't aware of them

I don't think you need to open your eyes, the dream just appears before you. You're getting close, good luck!

Cool, I might try this method later today.

Nice job! Sounds like you're getting close, so keep it up! Like Stirred said you don't NEED to open your "dream eyes" in order to get into a dream, that is just one technique. I recommend you try visualizing the dream scene you want to be in. Use all your senses when visualizing, not just sight. Good luck!
