Sleep Paralysis?

[AzRox]

I was trying to WILD and after about 5 minutes I felt my hands and legs get stiff and I started to feel weird vibrations in my legs. I was so shocked I sat up and everything went back to normal... Was this the beggining of SP?

Hey there AzRox, and welcome to DreamViews! What you describe sounds exactly like SP to me -- I'm pretty sure that's what it was. Now that you know what to expect, next time perhaps you won't feel so shocked, and will be able to use it as a gateway to lucidity. Good luck!

Yeah it was! I've experienced my first SP tonight while trying to WILD (for the first time)... I told myself "This is SP, don't give up!", I didn't wake up but I lost consciousness and fell asleep. Then I was going to have a DILD but as soon as I realized it was a dream I just woke up for the excitement (and I have already had DILDs in the past ). The dream? I was at my second house in the mountains. There was a child (who probably does not exist) who had passed some sort of test and was proud of it. I was talking with him when his father arrived and he had to go. I flew away but the father had to tell me something so they both chased me in the sky. The stupid thing? I realized I was dreaming not because I started to fly... only because THEY started to fly, since I've never seen a DC fly even in my dreams where I fly almost always (I flew for the first time in a normal dream, then I had a DILD where I tried to repeat the experience, I succeded and I fly in almost every dream since then ; that DILD happened like a year ago and it has been my last LD ). Since I realized I was dreaming, I told myself "I'm lucid! Now I can do loops and other cool stunts while flying!" but just became too excited and woke up... damn. Well, only the first sentence is on-topic but I'm just too excited to keep this to myself, and I didn't want to start a topic just for this does someone have any hints for me for my next try (which will probably be this night)?
