Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. Which it is probably is. I am wondering, What exactly is sleep paralysis? I've seen a couple of videos on youtube where people are sleep paralyzed and it looks scary. And I've been reading tutorials and stuff about lucid dreaming and it said you need to experience sleep paralysis to get into lucid dreaming, dream control, etc. I am actually afraid to try to attempt this. I want to get into deep into Lucid Dreaming but I am afraid something bad will happen. This will be my first time. How does the sleep paralysis work? Is there another way to get to full lucid with out having to experience sleep paralysis or do you have to experience it any way?
