Thread: Question

Sleep paralysis is rare condition that may not happen at all through whole lifetime and if it happens, it can only happen once or a few times unless you have sleep disorder. I don't think lucid dreaming affects that chance as far as i know.

You wake up a few times every night - to a sudden noise, to need to use the restroom, your pet jumping on your bed, to your alarm, mom calling you to get up...

If you are dreaming at that moment, the second you wake up your dream ends and your body recognizes that immediatelly and ends the SP. If it doesn't, something went wrong. You may never get it, but for most people it's a once or twice in a lifetime occasion.

I'm quite old , had SP only twice in my life, long time before I started lucid dreaming. Had over 40 WILDs, about 30 DEILDs, maaany more attempts and not a single SP.

Some people do get it often, but that's a chronic disorder. If you have it, you would know it by now.

So if you don't normally get it, then waking up to alarm (for whatever reason) will not highten your chances for SP.

But just in case, you know that it does exist, you are ready for it, you can ride out those few seconds and a lucid dream awaits you for your brevery.
