thanx for the welcome guys. i have a feeling ill be posting on this forum quite a bit. its great to find that its not just me......the joys of the internet i guess
i'll just point out that after waking from the sp and looking all this up on the net, i consciously tried to have a lucid dream, but i did not get the sleep paralysis. i went straight from awake to lucid dream. i knew when i crossed over when i got this really relaxed feeling, and then the weidest sensation of simultaniously turning around and dropping through the bed, down into freefall/ flying through water or viscous air. i was conscious to some degree, and tried to steer it towards driving a formula 1 car (because im a car nut) but instead, i was kind of swimming around an unknown medium when i met a girl i know. i tried to visualise another girl i know, and did it successfully. i kept trying to have sex with her, but the dream was fighting me.
then i woke up with an erection and a rapid heartbeat.

im certain that this was my first ever intentional lucid dream, and i am really excited because i think i can enter this state at will. does this sound feasable??
