@Dewmsberry: ikr. It's not the scariest either. Sleep paralysis can comes with truly terrifying things that seem very, very real. Prolly where alien abduction, demon possession, seeing God or the Devil testimonies come from. People really do see these supernatural-like things, but just in the border between the dream world and the waking world.

@Dewmsberry: If you experience it again, dont fight it. Dunno if you know how to break it. If you want out, you just barely wiggle your toes or fingers and you'll not be paraylized anymore. Or, you can try to imagine a dream scene and focus only on your mind, forgetting your body, then you can go straight into the dreamworld, fully aware that you're dreaming. Then you have basically God powers, in the dream world, and can do anything you want.
And, if a nice or scary figure appears, just ask them nicely if they will take you to a dream and they will. :)

@Dewmsberry: Lol, ikr. It's one way. There are easier and unscary methods (although, dreaming can still be scary, but totally worth it for God powers, right. :p), but the dreams are most vivid with "wake induced lucid dreaming" or "WILD", where your mind never falls asleep, but your body does.
There's all kinds of methods. Mnemonic induced lucid dreaming, or "MILD", is where you tell yourself right before falling asleep that you will realize you're dreaming when you're dreaming. Then, when you're fixing to fall asleep, you imagine the dreamscape you'd like to visit. But, this is usually best done after 4-6 hours of sleep, because dreams get longer and longer as the night goes on, and aren't very vivid or long in the first half of sleep.
Reality checks throughout the day are the main thing. You question whether or not you're dreaming, and preform some action that has a different effect in the waking amd dream worlds. Like trying to turn on a light (in a dream, it wont work or the light will look weird). Or, try to poke your fingers through your palm. If they go through, youre dreaming. So, you check to see which world you're in like 5-15 times a day. Doing this alone, eventually, you will do it in your dreams and realize that you're dreaming.
But, for starters, one has to have good dream recall. If you can't remember your dreams, there's no point. So, the first step for anyone is writing in a dream journal every time you wake up.
Well. There's a loooot to it, heh. World-of-lucid-dreaming.com is a great website for everything lucid, if you are interested by it. :) I think it's the best thing in the world. ^^
Oh. Ive done MILD and some other methods. Ive had a good amount of lucid dreams. But, ive neVer done WILD. Ive gotten to the point where your body starts vibrating really crazily, but it freaked me out and i couldnt stick with it. Haha. It does take some getting used to, for sure. Apparently, right after the buzzing, you feel like your body just starts falling or floating upwards really fast.
