Hey. Just thought i'd update you with a dream i had last night, or i should say this morning.

I woke up today at about 7 in the morning (not for long at all, i only know it was this time coz i saw my dad and thats when he gets up) and went back to sleep. I ended up dreaming. Once again like last nights dream it was just me in my room. I really wasn't sure whether i was awake or not and i tried a RC. As i did this i could hear this high pitch ringing sound in my ears intensify greatly and i had this feeling come over me like my body was losing control and i was growing weaker. Then i couldn't move again, like last night. The whole time when the ringing was growing louder and my body started to feel weaker i remember thinking to myself, "I'm in a dream". So once again i couldn't move, and this time there was a loud ringing, but i wasn't scared because i was aware of what was going on. I opened my eyes in my dream and knew it was a dream because my vision was weird, things around the room weren't natural. I got 'pins and needles' across my whole body (by pins and needles i mean the feeling you get if you sat on your hand for a while and you lose circulation, you get that pins and needles feeling). Once i could feel i could move again i awoke properly.

I have a couple questions:

Is this even sleep paralysis? Is it even possible to go into sleep paralysis so often?

How am i meant to lucid dream if this keeps happening?
