So I've been trying to to the CAN-WILD method for the past three nights to no avail...each time I've woken up right before the alarm. I tried to just turn it into WBTB, but...
I can never get to the HI stage. The closest I've been was two nights ago, where I think I got into sleep paralysis after about an hour of laying in my bed. My whole body felt heavy and like someone was pressing down on my chest.

For reference, I've had one lucid dream (a very weak one because I didn't know about stabilization and got too excited so I woke up). I actually woke up in sleep paralysis then closed my eyes and visualized my room and had a false awakening of sorts.
I've woken up in sleep paralysis once before, but to be honest it scared me a LOT the first time because I couldn't move so I just focused on waking up.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I've kept up with dream journaling and do RCs when I think of it.

Thanks.
