I am new to trying to enduce lucid dreams, though I've had a few spontaneously before. For last few days I've been trying MILD and last night I finally realized I was in a dream but no good came of it....

I am in the house alone- I dreamt my room mate came home and I was talking to her. As we were talking I went to do a reality check on a nearby microwave clock (been practicing this during the day) and as soon as I decided to look (never even got to see it) I realized I was in a dream but my heart started racing and everything switched to slow motion and I could feel myself being pulled from the dream (heart has never raced that fast in past lucid dreams). I tried to stay calm but I was instantly pulled and awoke on the couch. Here is where it gets awful...

After laying "awake" on the couch for a few moments I went to do another reality check on my phone...again as soon as I decided this the adrenaline kicked in again and I realized I was dreaming, though this time I could not move. I was experiencing sleep paralysis. i thought I could hear my room mate talking to her boyfriend but I mostly heard loud ringing and a lot of jumbled voices coming out of no where. I tried yelling "clarity!" But I could not open my mouth and was barely breathing, my vision was very cloudy. I tried spinning, I felt the sensation but nothing happened. Full on panic set in. My room mate was about to leave and I could not signal her. I could not move or hardly breath or make a noise. Eventually I made my labored breathing louder, she could not hear it. I mumbled, she heard nothing. I finally managed to sit up, reach toward her, and pathetically squeak out her name.

When I awoke I was still laying on the couch and no one was here. I don't know if I actually yelled or not.

Is experiencing sleep paralysis a normal result when attempting lucidity?? Because I wasn't very fond of it and would rather not enduce it again.
