First of all, I should say i never had sleep paralysis when awaken and only 1 short lucid dream very recently.
Is there a correlation between lucid dreaming and sleep paralysis? are you more likely to have sleep paralysis after a lucid dream? are you overall more likely to have sleep paralysis because you have more lucid dreams and/or you think about having a lucid dream before dozing off?
I don't plan on having sleep paralysis. Being paralyzed accompanied with hallucinations doesn't sound pleasant to me. The night after the lucid dream, I was trying to tell myself things in order to be more able to get a lucid dream and I got some feelings I don't remember ever having and seems like if I was about to head into paralysis if I didn't snap out of it (happened a few times, one after the other):
_My body doing a involuntary jerk
_Feeling kind of heavier as if gravity was around 1.5 G
_increased heartbeat rate (my guess around 100-110)
_some sort of tingling/goosebump/mild electricity (can't really describe it) going thru my body.
_an uneasy and mildly scared feeling
PS: I had a few times an intense "falling sensation" after waking up from a vivid dream ... is that related?
PS2: My dream recall is probably above average.
