Getting into a Dream after reaching Sleep Paralysis
Alright, so I've seen that many people still have trouble with getting into a dream after reaching sleep paralysis. You get so close, but then you have no idea what to do once in this state. I think this clueless on what action to take is the only thing preventing many of us from achieving our goals.
Creativity
Creativity is very important in getting into a dream after hitting sleep paralysis; creativity is, overall, an important aspect in lucid dreaming as a whole (unless of course you plan on having boring dreams). I can't stress enough how important creativity and imagination are.
During sleep paralysis (herein simplified as the acronym "SP"), you are in somewhat of a half-state of wakefulness. Your mind is awake, but your body is not. Along with this, you can experience (see, feel, hear, etc.) things that aren't actually there. Why, then, can we not influence this experience ourselves? Well, quite simply, we can.
Here is an example of a method I use to get into dreams after reaching SP:
As I am lying in my bed (or whatever piece of furniture I am sleeping on), I imagine that there is a vortex either by my feet, or by my head. I know that this vortex is there. I am promptly sucked up by this vortex. Et voila! I am in a dream! This is a technique I've used since I first started reaching sleep paralysis. It happened automatically the first time, but since then I've had to prompt it myself. This isn't exactly bad, however—I would say that my success rate of getting from SP to a dream is fairly solid (~85% chance I get in a dream). I realize this sounds very simple, but that's the beauty of it: it is.
You can try using my method yourself, but if it doesn't work for you, you can try all kinds of things (just use your imagination!). For example, you could imagine the bed you are sleeping on is actually a trap door that suddenly folds in as you realize it. Once you finish falling, you may find yourself in a WILD! Or, maybe your bed itself begins rocketing through space incredibly fast and you simply rip through the threshold that way. Personalize your method, make it your own! As long as you are creative and use your imagination, you will be able to find yourself in WILDs after reaching SP in no time.
