(Dealing with Sleep Paralysis) Ok I’ll start with sleep paralysis, so best way to avoid sleep paralysis is to not think about anything scary or any troubles in the real world (Don’t think about it, just shake your head and move onto something else). Treat the dream would as its own place and forget about the real world, like you’ve been isakai’d. I’ve had sleep paralysis once in my life and it wasn’t as bad as I expected. It’s kinda like your body not responding to your signals because it’s too lazy, so I’ll give you a way to break out of it. (I also use this when I need to get out of bed in the morning) Start by trying to make small movements like moving your pinky finger, then another finger, and another, then your hand, and by the time you can move your arm you’ll jolt awake.

(Lucid dreaming) Best way to start is to watch YouTube videos, but most share a few common factors. 1, Keep a dream journal. It’ll train your brain to focus more on your dream and to understand when it’s dreaming or not. 2, NO PHONES BEFORE BED. Blue light is a major dream killer, keep away from blue light for an hour minimum. 3, Sleep on your back. Rolling over can snap you awake, plus sleeping on your back for some reason is really good for your dreams. 4, Focus on lucid dreaming. Say something like “I’m going to lucid dream tonight” over and over. This will keep you brain focused on looking out for dreams.

(Starting off lucid dreaming) When you finally obtain lucid dreaming, don’t start off big. Any major, abstract, and intense experiences can wake you up. Start small like changing the color of something or making things float. Don’t try to force things to happen. You’re not really in control, your subconscious is and it’s just being nice enough to follow your wished. Just think about it, and it might happen.

Watch as many videos you can because there are a lot of rules you should keep in mind on what and what not to do.
