      Question Was this Sleep Paralysis?

      Yesterday, during a WILD dream attempt (my sister was somewhat noisy as she was doing an assignment on ehr laptop in the same room while listening to extremely low music that sounded like a faint buzz. the light was also on), my heart started to feel extremely heavy and my hands felt as if they were floating. I was looking at the back of my eyelids, and it was as if they were pulsating back and forth and swirling around. I started to feel really weird and my body seemed to be moving by itself (twitching and sinking/floating feeling at the same time but at different parts of the body). I couldn't move my hands. I started to panic and forced my eyes open because it started to feel really weird. I felt disappointed at my stupidness, got up, and did a relaity check (the nose-breathing one and the digital clock one). I was awake. After a while, my sister turned off the light, and I tried to do it again, but all I got was a slight swirling behind my eyelids and vivid blue light patterns moving around my eyelids. I got up because they ended up fading away and went to a normal sleep.

      I'm just curious, do any of these sound like I went into sleep paralysis? I've been trying to do it for a long time, and this was the furthest I've gone.

      A sinking/floating feeling is indicative of SP, or at least the onset of SP. It also sounds like you were experiencing HI, in the form of those swirling images and blue light. When you enter full-blown SP as a result of continuing to relax and not focusing too much on any of the HI or sensations you might be receiving, it'll probably feel a bit weird at first because you're not used it. But just keep relaxing and you'll be able to enter a dream. Don't rush the process but don't become too passive; find that line between the two and go with it. If you start getting more complete dream imagery/HI, it may help to imagine tactile or auditory sensations, and passively help steer the imagery in the direction you want it to go. This is commonly called a V-WILD, but it also helps in normal WILDs just for the process of entering the dream.
      We all live in a kind of continuous dream. When we wake, it is because something,
      some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we have taken as reality.
