      Relaxation vs Sleep Paralysis

      I'm sorry for asking such an ignorant question, but... I'm very confused about those two. I know what sleep paralysis feels like when you wake up from a dream. I can never move, it's like my whole body is vibrating, as if my insides wanted to leave through my skin and if my skin wanted to go inside and there this weird buzzing sound.

      I've been trying to WILD for some time now (not much, it's been about two weeks, give or take a few days), and I usually lay there. I feel a bit tense, so I relax all my muscles. After a few minutes (not more than three, I think), I feel very light and I start trying to imagine myself swinging/spinning, cause this makes me feel even lighter. Then, some very soft tingling starts. Usually on my left leg, then it goes up to my belly, then my left arm. Then the same thing happens on the right side. The tingling comes and goes, it's not steady. There's also a pressure on my chest, as if there were somebody or something pushing me. It's not painful and it doesn't make breathing hard. While it's not comfortable at all, I find it very relaxing. This pressure, however, also comes and goes. Then I start getting confused about my arms and hands. I usually leave them in the same position every night, but then it seems like they're in a different one (sometimes in a position that doesn't make sense at all). And finally, the first time I tried to WILD, I started hearing someone whispering in my ear.

      I'd like to know how much of this is just relaxation and how much is actually sleep paralysis. Could someone help me?
