Thread: Something I Heard About Lucid Dreaming

I was looking up information on lucid dreaming and I came across something that said lucid dreaming can cause sleep paralysis. I'm new to LD and I wanted to make sure this wasn't true. Is it?

Well, you have sleep paralysis everynight, you're simply not conscience.

So, if you use the WILD technique (Keeping your mind awake while your body falls asleep) the goal is to achieve sleep paralysis.

Also, chances are you might get SP after ending a lucid dream.

Ok. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

I'm also new to all this. I have managed to achieve sleep paralysis in 3 times in as many nights. I've not managed to drop into a dream yet tho, lucid or otherwise. I love the feeling of sleep paralysis though, if you keep in mind that its harmless then you can just enjoy the numbness :p its pretty comfortable...or not? i dont know. its kind of weightless, but heavy...i like it anyhow

It's probably because you're paying too much attention to the fact tha you're in SP. Just keep focusing on your breathing until you see HI. Even then, don't pay much attention untill it starts to get very vivid. When it gets to the point where the HI seems just about real, simply walk into the dreamscape in front of you. Ta daa. LD.

mint. i've had bits of HI, colours & curtains n lil pictures, but nothing significant. and I'v kinda sensed scenarios around me (lastnight i had to stop counting and wait for larry....who larry is i dont know), which is pretty wierd haha, but i dont know they're going on until theyv finished n i think "why didnt i notice how wierd that was".

breathing is probably a better focus, i keep counting but i think it might take a bit too much focus, i keep counting through little daydreams etc. i'll give your advice a go tonight!
