Congrats on the lucid! And don't worry about the sleep paralysis thing. It might take a few tries before you figure out how exactly to transition into the dream, since it's different for everyone. :party:

Tonight was great! I woke up around 4.50 to write in my dj. And when i fell alseep, i have been jumping from one lucid dream to the other. Even the dreams that weren't lucid was really vivid. And one involded a t shirt with lucid dreaming prints.
Back to the lucid dreams, i don't remember espicially much from them exept i ate a bunch of junk food and it was soo delicious.
Congratulations!! Great job on getting all those LDs.
The one thing I'm curious about is your recall afterward. Did you manage to wake up from these LDs or just sort of lose lucidity? I find recall a little harder when I lose lucidity versus waking up. As usual, my advice would just be to write em down as soon as you can.
Anyway, great to hear that you're in such a good LDing rhythm right now. Keep it up!
Nope i didin't wake up, or i did but i dielded so got right back. When i think back now it would probably be a better idea to wake up and write in my journal at that point.Quote:

Oh man, I completely understand the issue there. I struggle with the same thing myself, as recently as last night's LD. I want so badly to take the time to go over the dream and really get it cemented in my mind, yet I also want to do more LDing. :D It can be a really tough call. Having said that, I usually opt to just write it down unless the LD felt really short and unfinished. No easy decision though.Quote:

Welcome Adam/Frequent22!
Something you said really struck me...like a lightning strike.......
Planning to wake up at the end of the dream to write/record it is an excellent idea! That is something that I have thus far overlooked in my lucid dreams. That would definitely help recall, give a sense of direction and provide a destination. Thanks for the idea :)Quote:

I was in the sleep paralysis for i don't know how long all i know is that i couldn't move and i was trying to have a lucid dream or at least fall asleep.
That happens a lot when the body is stressed. There might not even be a feeling of stress but its still important to fully relax before sleep. This is something I have trouble with and have been working on. It usually works very well if I can maintain a strong intention to remain relaxed. Focus on your breathing and try to feel the relaxation consciously.
Going into Sleep Paralysis(SP) is a good thing. It gives you more experience and lays out a general idea of what you will encounter later. Once you are able to relax, you may find you fall asleep too quickly, so there is always a balance to be mindful of as well.
keep up the awesomeness! :)
Tonight i woke up after every dream, at a total i remember 7 dreams from tonight!
Holy hell! 7 dreams, that's great, :D
