So hi, I just registered to ask a question because I had my first lucid dream in the morning.

Basically, I read a lot about lucid and tried many things to achieve one and this morning at 8:30 am had my first one.

The question is.... the transition to get in a lucid dream must it necesarely pass from a sleep paralysis ? What I mean is everyone has sleep paralysis, but to get in a LD must you be conscious about having one ? Because I never had any in my life and I'm sure about having one and this time I was conscious about it ! Was the consciousnous of this event in my head or was it in real life ? Does everyone pass through this to get in a lucid dream ? For me it seemed more like a dream about having one... Thanks !
