Hi Ace Welcome to the forum.

I see that you are interested in learing about LDing. As far as I see from reading your post, its pretty hard for me to understand why you never experienced one. You have all the abilities right in front of you. Oh wait. You did happen to mention this "when I have this sensation, I consiously stop it, I jar myself back to the "real" world. Now, I know from past experience that the sensations progress enough that I technically "should" experience seperation" What I would suggest is that you relax during this process without willfully pulling yourself out of it. I understand people do that alot because of fear. Not saying that you are afraid or anything but unaware of whats next. Anyway If you just relax during one of your paralysis states then you will experinece WILD this is the best way for YOU to become lucid. In my opinion the only different in OB's and Lucid Dreaming is the fact that it hasn't been totally proven rather or not that OB's occur real-time. We do understand that the brain can mimic any particular enviorment to the smallest detail. Lucidity is just being aware that you are dreaming, and having complete control over the dreams content depending on the level you are upon lucidity. Thats about it, since you already have the tools why not use them one night? The best part about the WILD experinece is that a person in some cases can see the dream world form right before his/her eyes. And you are fully conscious from the time you lay down to sleep until the moment you slip into the dream world and throughout the entire dream sequence.
