It's pretty common for WILDs to fade out right away, and that's one reason you will have to learn to stabilize dreams if you want to learn to WILD. One easy way to stabilize is to touch any dream object or rub your hands together or clap them in a dream.
In sleep paralysis, even if you try to move, you shouldn't be able to. It usually takes a great deal of effort to move just one part of your body in SP, and when you do succeed in moving, the SP is broken.
There are a few ways to get to a dream from SP. If you're fairly good at visualizing, then imagine you are across the room, or imagine your hand in front of your face. You will probably see a cloudy or inky vision of it at first. If you get a little visual at all, start moving around and touching objects to stabilize. Now, if you're not so good with visualization, don't worry. Tactile senses are just as good if not better in getting the dream started. Pay attention to any strange tactile sensations during the SP--sensations that you know are hallucinations. Focus on them as if they were real, and they will get stronger. Before you know it, you'll be seeing everything around you too.
It's hard to say if an OBE is normal...because so few people know a lot about it, and even fewer are able to talk about it due to fears of being made fun of or ostracized. So I can't say it's normal as far as being common, but it is normal as far as something that can and does happen to the body.
