      Question is there a correlation of lucid dreams and sleep paralysis?

      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.
