BTW, we use sleep paralysis to induce lucid dreams because most of us here aren't naturals. I actually find sleep paralysis to be fun.

That's incorrect.

Being natural and inducing lucid dreams has nothing to do. I'm natural too and I've been lucid dreaming since I was a kid, without knowing, I was using MILDs (I wanted to dream with something so I though of it before going to be) However, not even a natural has lucids every single night, so induction techniques are always welcome.

And the OP probably was doing WILD accidentally, as I also felt sleep paralysis several times and I knew that after them, a dream were I would know it was a dream was coming.

Welcome to DV Marilwyn!!

Hey guys and thanks for the welcomes.

Actually, I do not experience lucid dreams after Sleep Paralysis at all. The sleep paralysis is the lucid dream so to speak. Never a good experience for me. I wake my self up once I stop false awakening and usually don't go back to sleep for awhile afterwards. It only leads to nightmares for me. I usually have lucid dreams by simply knowing I am dreaming while in a dream and going from there. I have never really tried to have one. I have them several times a week usually and just about every night when i am on the nicotine patch. I will try to use some of the visualization methods I think to induce one, but definitely not WILD. I will have to read up on them a bit more. For a long time I actually thought everyone dreamed like me and could take control. My husband has never had one.
