For the past 3-5 days I have been attempting at becoming lucid. Failed. I just have a few possibly stupid questions.

1. Can you simply lucid dream without WILD?
I am asking this because it's difficult for me sleep 3-5 hours and actually get up WITHOUT waking up anyone in my house. Lying there in bed for an hour or so feels like about 3 hours. xD)

2. How I can prevent anxiety when I feel like I'm about to enter an LD? Whenever I think I'm about to enter an LD, I tend to panic (not frightened, just a bit anxious), and then it's difficult to fall asleep.

3. Will listening to downbeat music keep you from LD?
I read in another thread that one's technique is to listen to downbeat music and that keeps them from becoming completely unconscience.

4. Is SP (sleep paralysis) as frightening as they say?

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. ^^ Might actually really help. Still a noob at this.
