      classify this lucid?

      First off, hello there! I've been lurking on this site for a little while after I found about lucid dreaming... just to pick up some techniques and stuff. I've kept a dream journal for about 2 weeks now and I've been trying to practice reality checks, but haven't actually TRIED to have a lucid till last night.

      I woke myself up 5 hours into sleep to try preforming a WILD, but I didn't have too much luck. I think I might have been close for a while, but I couldn't keep completely still, so eventually I began to lose focus and I accidentally faded off into sleep without realizing it. So here's the weird thing: in my (non-lucid) dream, I felt that it was the morning after my WILDing attempts and I realized that they hadn't worked. So I was thinking about lucid dreams in a dream, but I didn't realize I was in fact dreaming! I remember looking at the clock, which said 9:47 or something, and thinking it was morning.. too late to try WILDing again. But I did... in my dream lol. But the really trippy part is that when I laid down to sleep, after a few seconds I felt like I was in sleep paralysis. I'm almost certain of it. My entire body vibrated and I felt really disconnected from my body. And then... when I opened my eyes, I like... knew I was lucid. I did a reality check: plugged my nose and found that I was still breathing. I was ecstatic! So then I went off and perused my first lucid dream desire: flying

      Sorry for the novel, but I would really like to know if someone could tell me what the hell kind of lucid dream this was? (obviously not a WILD) And also whether the sleep paralysis I felt was real or not?

      It was probably a DILD: you became lucid because you thought something was off in your dream.

      If I attempt to WILD and then drift off to sleep, I tend to have dreams about sleep paralysis. This 'dream sleep paralysis' is often different and not what it should be in real life. You seem like the type of person who'd have these dreams, too.
      We all live in a kind of continuous dream. When we wake, it is because something,
      some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we have taken as reality.

      That makes more sense now that I think about it... though at the time I was pretty convinced that it was real.

      is dreaming about lucid dreams common then? It seems kind of silly haha

      Yes, sometimes you dream about lucid dreams, but you're not actually aware that the dream itself is... Well, it's hard to explain. But yeah.
