Having Trouble Getting Lucid

[Zulin]

Poorly Written Post Inc I've been keeping a dream journal and trying to remember my dreams, and it has been working out lately. But recently i read something about being able to become lucid through sleep paralysis, so i thought i would give that a try. Basically what i was told to do is, lay in my bed on my back staring at the ceiling, something like Body asleep Mind awake. So anyways i try this for a while, and i'm getting a little frustrated, but know that things like this take time. The last time i tried it, it took about 15 minutes? or so? and my body started to feel weird, like a heavy'ish blanket was being laid on top of me. I read that this was normal, and that by this happening you should be able to have an out of body experience, and then step back into your body having created a dream, and know that you are in complete control. Something to that extent.... And i guess i feel like i can almost attain it, but something is holding me back. And i usually just end up moving a body part, ruining the whole thing. Any tips? TL;DR Feel like i can attain Sleep paralysis, but feels as if something is holding me back right before i do.
