Hey everyone,

I haven't posted here in many years but I had an experience this morning which warrants it.

I woke up with sleep paralysis and used it to my advantage to slip into a lucid dream. I closed my eyes, kept thinking of dream thoughts while trying to move my body around as soon as I could feel my hands clapping, I knew I had my dream body and it would be safe to open my eyes.

But how do I know if I was truly awake to begin with? Is it possible that I was just dreaming of being awake with SP? Later I had a false awakening where I saw the clock as some weird time and felt paralyzed, so I realized I may not have accomplished a WILD after all.

Will SP "feel" more dreamy than a waking state? Are WILDs sometimes not hyper real?
