Thread: How does Stop-Drop-Roll work? and transitioning (WILD)

Hi. I'm new to lucid dreaming - in fact, I haven't even become lucid at all yet. I decided to try to go for WILDs cuz it seems quickest, but I'm still noting down dreams when I remember them and doing Reality Checks when I remember to. This post has turned out to be a bit longer than I hoped, so please bare with me.

Anyway. A couple of nights now I've been waking up to my alarm set between 1 and 3 in the morning, depending on when I went to bed to get the 4 hours rest. I've tried something I read somewhere about lying on the ground beside my bed and waiting for my body to want to get back in and get to sleep etc. At one time it worked to some degree. I'm pretty sure I got to sleep paralysis after about 15 minutes on the floor, but it kept fading and coming back as I kept swallowing. Does anyone know of a sure-fire way to quickly get to full paralysis?

When it settled a bit, I didn't know what to do next to get to the dream, I was "stuck in the doorway". How do I get from waking paralysis to the dream I want?

I've read about and watched videos about this "Stop-Drop-Roll" thing. I'm confused. Everywhere I'm told in documents and forums to ignore these urges to move, but in this it's telling you to do it when the urge comes. How does this work?

In summary:

-What's a sure-fire way to get full paralysis quick?
-How do I transition from waking paralysis (from fully awake) into the dream?
-How does Drop-Stop-Roll work? What's it about?

I'd be really grateful for advice in getting started with this, thanks in advance.
