Hi all, I'm Dan and have just joined.

It's interesting to discover that lucid dreaming is quite an exclusive phenomena. I have been able to 'control' my dreams since I was a child and never really thought anything of it until a friend was recently telling me he was trying to experience lucid dreaming. I feel quite privileged now

However it's not all good. I suffer from sleep paralysis occasionally. On average about once a fortnight. It's quite terrifying and I'm now thinking that it might be connected to lucid dreaming? I would love to hear from any of you that have experienced SP and if there is any way it can be avoided in the future? All I know is after an SP occurence (or night terrors as I've been calling them) I can't get back to sleep for hours in fear it will happen again.

Help! Haha
