But I got a little scared and just woke up, everything in it's rightful place Does anyone have any tips to staying calm in sleep paralysis? Thanks
Remind yourself that sleep paralysis happens to you every night, you just usually aren't conscious so don't experience it. What I try to do is ignore what is happening around you. Focus on creating a dream environment, say, a tropical beach of some kind. Make it as realistic as possible, and it probably will turn into your dream. You saw hallucinations, yes. But that's normal. Just ignore the hallucinations and focus on creating a dream environment. You'll do fine
What I usually do when I feel I am waking up in a lucid dream is stare at my hands. Notice the detail in them until the clarity of your dream is very vivid. This works like 90% of the time for me
