Moved my dream arms around, then everything stopped

[ah19]

hello today while trying to WILD i overcame the breathing thing and then i felt my dream arms start to rise above my head. i had control over what direciton they would move in, and they moved very very slowly, but i had control. then all of a sudden everything stopped. i had no HI or anything. what should i have done correctly? btw this was about 20 minutes into the induction

It sounds like your sleep paralysis was in the beginning stages and was still kind of weak. It's best to just relax until you're actually in a lucid dream. I find that even once I first enter a lucid dream it's like I have to learn to walk all over again. My legs are kind of weak and I have to get my balance. Don't rush into the dream. Gain control before you go exploring. So next time this happens don't move around, just try to relax even more until you float out of your body, fall through your mattress, or feel like you're standing on your feet.

dude I have done this more times than I care to count. When you notice your arms floating out of your physical body stay very calm. Once you realize you 're separating a little just go with it. Don't force anything. Don't get excited;easier said than done I know. Also the best time for an OBE is right after you just had one. basically I am echoing discord but if you fail don't get frustrated go again. I know you may be saying holy shit I just laid here for "x" amount of time but I am telling you from personal experience that I got into my OOBE much quicker once I learned to not get frustrated and do another WILD/OBE induction.
