Hi! I'm new here. Just recently I've become fascinated with dreaming. I don't know what brought it on. |

Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.
I came close to sleep paralysis once when I tried to WILD, I got scared the first time but you just have to remember that you are still in control even if you can't move. Say if you do see something scary you need to remind yourself that it isn't real and you can try visualizing other things that are happy and eventually the bad things will fade away. If you would not like to experience sleep paralysis then I suggest you try the DILD method. I'm no expert on LDing so have a go at WILD too if you think you can. As for tips to becoming lucid, keep a dream journal for recall, do reality checks many time a day (the nose plug is a good one but everyone's different) and make sure you really question if you're dreaming. I think practicing awareness helps a lot too, both for recall and becoming lucid |

Dream Goals:
Have my first lucid dream [X] - 17/09/12
1. Fly [ ] 2. Shape shift [ ] 3. Shoot fire [ ] 4. Meet my DG [ ] 5. Have a long lucid dream [ ] 6. Have a conversation with a DC [ ]

Like Original Poster stated, Try and visualize yourself rolling from the body you have in reality, and ending up in your dream body. |

Thanks for the replies! I'll try to relax more next time and focus on just going with it. I just wish I wasn't scared so easily. lol |

I am actually going through the same thing right now. I am aware of how my body is paralyzed when I have false awakening dreams. Though I've been able to roll off the bed and go into my dream body. Up to now I've only been trying to wake up from the dream, but I've finally decided perhaps I should face it. I'm really scared too. Mostly scared that the intruder I face in my dream will try to hurt me (even though I know it's not real) or keep scaring me and I won't be able to wake up. But, from what I've read, when people face their dream characters and ask them what they are, they'll say something revealing about their subconscious or back down and be embarrassed. This gives me hope. I hope your attempt goes well! Looking forward to hearing how it goes. |

Well just now I tried intentionally going into sleep paralysis and was successful. Well I jumped up when I felt myself going into it. lol But at least I know that I can do it. I feel like I'm so close to being able to have a lucid dream. I just need to get over my fear of sleep paralysis. |

She may be referring to having fallen asleep in the car naturally and getting it, not suddenly falling asleep out of no where like narcolepsy. Every time I arrive to Japan after a 12 hour flight and sit in the car on the drive to Fukushima, I experience horrible sleep paralysis after going to sleep. I really want to sleep, but I hate the sleep paralysis. So it is possible to have sleep paralysis in a car, and she only mentioned having it once while on a road trip. |

Oh yeah sorry for the confusion. I didn't mean I'll just randomly fall asleep and have it. It's just whenever I do decided to fall asleep. During the road trip my dad was driving and I was in the backseat. I took a nap and got it. I usually get episodes of SP 2-3 times a week. The most was 7 times in one night, each time with a scary hallucination. It was awful. |
