Sp -> Ld

[dopey070]

So i've been using the WBTB method recently (which I really like), but I haven't had any success. I've experiences sleep paralysis two or three times already, but my problem is converting SP to a lucid dream. I don't know where to go from there. I tried using the rhythm napping as suggested from the salt cube video but that hasn't work either. Any ideas on how to go from SP to a lucid dream? Thanks in advance!

As far as I have read, you should start seeing color patterns and/or dream-scenes on the inside of your eyelids. Focus on the dream-scene(s) and imagine yourself being in it, and you should soon be there, lucid. Or, you could (when you feel that you have reached SP) visualize/daydream a dream-scene of your own, with yourself being in it. Just try to forget about your physical body.

As Angel mentioned, one thing you could do is form the dreamscape yourself when you enter sleep paralysis. Or you could just wait it out, and unless you lose awareness or consciousness along the way, you should eventually end up in a dream.

Some people, (myself included,) don't experience HI. It's different for everyone. If you don't get HI, you may want to try what I've done. I wait till I think I'm in a dream after staring at my eyelids forever, then I suddenley get up and walk around. If I am asleep, a dream scene will imediately form. If I'm not, then, oops. But I've gotten to the point where I can usually tell if I'm in a dream without dreams signs or RCs based on that 'dreamy' feeling. So, after enough practice, (if this technique works for you,) you won't have to worry about ruining your chances at a Lucid by standing up in RL. (Real life.)
