I appreciate all of your replies!!!

Clovy: You're right, me telling myself the fact that SP will not hurt me is definitely helpful! However I still need to work on it, since I end up panicking most often than not.

gab: I need to try DEILD!

Pops715: haha trust me it's real! But maybe it's a blessing you don't get them. How often do you achieve self-induced lucid dreaming?

Juf: Working on it

Alyzarin: My eyes are usually slightly open when I have SP too! I will definitely keep practicing. And yeah I know I don't have to, but that method is the one that interests me the most!

Puffin: Thank you for the knowledge and tips! Not thinking about my physical body is something I need to start doing. I don't get too excited, but I think I over think it which causes me to wake? I have vitamin B pills (which my dad takes haha) so i'll be taking those every night from now on

THANKS for the welcomes! You all sound like a great, helpful and nice bunch!
