Sleep Paralysis and Lucid Dreaming?
Hi everyone! As you can see, I'm new. And I made an account hoping that friendly people can help me achieve my first lucid dream.
I've read some articles online about lucid dreaming yesterday and successfully reached sleep paralysis. That's when I heard a buzzing noise, freaked out, then opened my eyes. Only after a while did I switch a position. Then fall asleep normally.
I did some research today and found out that the buzzing noise is the transition between my waking state to dreaming state. Is that true?
Also I've read some stuff on sleep paralysis paranoia and now I'm scared to try again. However, I really want to lucid dream. So is sleep paralysis a necessary step to lucid dreaming? If so, under what circumstances would there be paranoia? How do I freak out less during sleep paralysis paranoia? Is paranoia really worth experiencing for lucid dreaming?
I'm an atheist. I think paranoia has something to do with religion, but please correct me if I'm wrong!
I'd also like to know the relationships/differences/similarities between the following: sleep paralysis, lucid dreaming, OBE, and astral projection
Thanks in advance!
