So I relaxed my body and began to drift off when I felt my body start to buzz and it felt almost like I was being put to sleep via anesthesia like a forced sleep but then it faded and although I've read that sleep paralysis is a very scary and uncomfortable experience, I kinda liked it. Am I just weird or was this not sleep paralysis?
You were entering sleep paralysis
It can be scary if you let it to
I definitely felt as though I was right on the edge of entering a dream and I think I got excited but what do I need to do to ensure I make it through the transition. And for people who think sp is scary just let it happen and try to enjoy the feeling of being teleported or sucked into the dream world haha that's what it felt like to me
Lol, sleep paralyzes is waking up and not being able to move at all and hearing people scream in your ear while hallucinating and see demon like figuresQuote:

It sounds like what you were experiencing could have been SP.
SP is a different experience for everyone. Sometimes it can be scary sometimes it won't be. You just have to remind yourself that any HH you experience during SP is NOT real. Hearing screaming during SP isn't that common. Some common things people do experience is: Random colors, vibrations, whispering in ear, etc.Quote:

I recommend you check out this list of induction techniques. Go through it and try to find a technique you think would be best for you. There is no best technique, it all depends on you. Once you choose a technique stick with it. Don't give up after 2 weeks, assuming it isn't working!
DILD isn't just luck. Read about it here.Quote:

I also suggest for you to read this thread. It sums up everything a new lucid dreamer should know about, and is very helpful. Good luck!
Make sure to do reality checks all throughout the day and eventually you will do one in a dream and realize your dreaming. That's DILD and MILD is just convincing yourself that you will have a lucid dream but I would check out some of the guides on this site because they are amazingQuote:

I agree with you. If you find out please post it because that's cool to meQuote:

Also, if you ever get stuck, just breathe deeper than normal and it'll snap out after 10 sec or so.
yea i noticed i start breathing heavily and fast ill get out of SP right awayQuote:

I've gotten to sp but once it gets intense instead of slipping into a dream it just fades away. How do I slip into the dream
You have to let your HH take over until it becomes a full blown dream. I would also recommend trying VILD. Look here and scroll down to the Visualization WILD section. This is how I transition into a dream from SP most of the time.Quote:
