If you didn't realize that you were dreaming then it wasn't a lucid dream. A lucid dream is a dream in which you are aware that you are dreaming; nothing more, nothing less.

No, SP happens every-night when you fall asleep. It is what prevents you from acting out your dreams each night. But there are lucid methods that use SP.

Yep, lucid dreaming is when you know that you're dreaming.

SP happens every night and is nothing special. It only comes up on this board a lot because it is is sometimes felt during wake initiated lucid dreams.

REM atonia happens every night, Sleep Paralysis is a disorder that can also be induced by keeping your mind awake while your body falls asleep

You don't always have a lucid dream, but some people use Sleep Paralysis to WILD. If you have the disorder, you've sort of got one foot in the door in terms of making it easier to WILD.
