A while ago I woke up after 8-9 hours of sleep. I had nothing to do so I wanted to try WILD ( I have never had a lucid dream yet).
I think that I started having sleep paralysis and I felt tingling sensations which started on my legs and slowly spread. However, at some point I felt like my eyes started moving very fast like it was REM. I also felt like my eyes were about to open but I kept them close.
Although I read about SP I have never heared that the REM stage begins while I am still awake.
Is it normal?
