Hey, Melissa. Welcome to Dream Views
If I were you, I would keep researching WILD in relation to Sleep Paralysis. It would be awesome if you could turn this into a positive thing. It seems like you could just be naturally awesome at lucid dreaming.
Sleep paralysis is what first got me into lucid dreaming, also. I now rarely get it unless I am actively trying for it with some sort of meditation. There's nothing to be afraid of with it. I know from experience that you can't really reason away the fear while its happening, but you don't need to worry about any harm coming to you. After its over, try to relax, knowing it was all just in your mind.
The important thing to remember is that when you are hallucinating in sleep paralysis, your mind is generating it all based on your expectations. If you are unprepared and feel afraid, your mind will come up with scarry hallucinations to accompany the fear. If you are prepared, know it is coming, and remain calm, you can get some amazing and beautiful hallucinations. It is similar to dreaming, that way. If you get the idea the dream may turn into a nightmare, it will. If you are expecting a beautiful and spiritual dream, you will get one.
I think that if you try to view this as a positive thing, and induce SP on purpose, you will be able to have some really cool experiences.
If you just want out of the paralysis, try to relax and focus on wiggling your big toe. For most people, this will wake them up quickly.
If you want to ride it out to a dream, try visualizing a dream scene while you are paralyzed. Remember, if you are hallucinating, you are already dreaming. Just dreaming you are in bed. Come up with a visualization that engages multiple senses, so you can change the 'scene' of your dream. Especially try to engage an imaginary sense of touch and movement. You can imagine standing on the opposite side of the room feeling the texture of the wall. You can imagine floating off the bed to reach up and touch the ceiling. You can imagine walking down a set of stairs, or walking through your garden. Try to feel texture, and a natural sense of movement. Your visualization will take over, and you will find yourself in a lucid dream.
