Hi (name is Destiny) Natural Sleep Paralysis & Lucid

[starlight]

Hello, My name is Destiny and I'm 27 years old. I have been having "Sleep Paralysis" since 14 years old. First time it happened and I was freaked out. It stills rattles my bones but I'm not afraid of it anymore but it does make me feel uncomfortable and really tired when I awake. After I stopped being afraid and knew it was just my brain the shadows went away. I have a theory on that as well. I noticed that sometimes if I did see a shadow it was something black like a coat or something laying in my room and my mind made me think it was something bad. So now I make sure not to have those types of things in view when I go to bed. I did not hear the loud roaring sounds until a couple of months ago which I mistake for a scream or yelling and it freaked me out. Once I had SP I felt as though I Was laying on the floor while having it but I knew I was in the bed (weird) and at the same time the room was spinning but I could not move. I have learned how to snap out of it quickly though and prevent it from happening. I feel it come on very quickly as soon as I fall asleep but I away and jerk myself out of it and it feels like a big snap in my body when that happens. Normally calling out for help in the name that you believe that will save you will snap you out of it. I often call out for God or Jesus. Moving your toes also snaps you right out of it. I don't think I can naturally drift to sleep in this state because I then get scared about that so I often make myself move again. I once tried to stay sleep and It was too crazy. When it get's to that point I can't take the the heavy vibrating and noise (sometimes..there and sometimes not). Sometimes none of that happens and I just can't move and can barely talk. I would use this to enter Lucid dreams but it takes too long it seems and I get afraid. I often hear these are traits of outer body and I don't want that. There are some things I feel God does not want us to tamper with but if that's what others do then I don't care but I mean it is interesting to listen to the stories..just not right for me to do that. So how would go into Lucid without going into OBE? go to sleep or keep eye's closed during (SP)? When I lucid dream..it just happens. When I dream, they are always alive, colorful, and vivid. I know I'm dreaming but I can't control the dream and that's what I would love to do. lol. It feels like I'm looking at movie but I'm aware of myself the whole time and what's around me. Sorta like 3-D. I also have most time 3-4 dreams a night. Some just shift right into the next and If I awake..and go back to bed then bam I'm right back in the same dream. So is this really lucid dreaming? It's just I can't control mine and that's what I need help with. There are also times when I'm too much aware..lol and it's really crazy! lol. I always remember all my dream at night..but sadly I don't keep dream journal. I once started but stopped because I got afraid and thought I was doing something wrong. Now I think if you choose to do wrong things with this then bad stuff will happen. But because I want to do good things..only good stuff and not scary stuff should happen. There are also things I need to overcome in my waking life..so I figure if I could control my dreams and stop being afraid this would help me. Sorry for this post being so long but I wanted to give you all an understand about me and my SP and Lucid dreams. *Since writing this, I have had a Lucid Dream that involved me choosing to fly and me being able to change something I did not like in the dream*
