Okay, so I've been looking into Lucid dream for a few weeks ( might be the second one since I started, first try was a simple FILD, but everyday since the first try I've been using WBTB and WILD.
So, I'm aware of RCs, ADA, Self Awarness, I've used :

wild-session-6-doing-dive

and

naiyas-dild-wild-secrets

( Both Dreamviews tutorials, can't post links since I'm a new member here )

So I'm waking up around 4:30am ( going to bed around 11:30pm ) using an alarm, but I'm quite often waking up by myself a lot of time during the night from 1am to 5am, it's really random and I'm not sure that's a bad thing.

So when I woke up I usually just lay still, and that's when things get complicated for me. Most of the time I focus on my breathing and reach semi-paralysis, like either my upper body either my left body, you got what I meant, but I never achieved the full paralysis.

I've been to Hypnagogic Imagery ( I think ) Blue stain moving sometimes shadow in shape of faces, but I don't know what to do from there. If I begin focusing on the different images I see, my muscles tense and I lose HI. And if I wait it to pass it just ends.

I use a mantra, which is a meaningful sentence to me, anyway I don't think the problem come from it.
So If you have any advice, I'm listening! ( or if you want me to explain a step better )
