As long as your REM cycle. You can stay in a lucid dreaming from anywhere between 1 minute to an hour and a half. It just depends if you stabilize the dream, when you became lucid, and what REM cycle you're in. Some people believe it is possible to make it feel like you have been in a dream for days or even longer. This is called time dilation. I recommend you take a look at this tutorial if you are interesting in expanding the time of your dreams.

A lot of people think it is possible, including me. It hasn't been scientifically proven yet. There is a big shared dreaming experiment going on right now, and we even have our own sub forum for it! It has had some interesting results, and I have had some crazy experienced involving shared dreaming. If you are interested in reading about the experiment and all of the results click here.

Not at all! Lucid dreaming in completely safe, and you certainly won't die from it! Don't believe everything you hear.

Well sleep paralysis can be scary, but you just have to remember nothing is real and can't hurt you. Don't worry! Once you start experimenting with SP more often you will get used to it. If you're doing the WILD technique you must go into SP in order to go into the lucid dream. For me sleep paralysis is NOT scary and actually kind of fun. It varies from person to person though. Just read up about it and you should be fine.

Anyway, good luck! I hope you start having many lucid dreams soon. If you have any questions just send me a private message and I will respond ASAP.
