So I've been trying to lucid dream for maybe over 2 months and it's been kinda tough with my work schedule so I've only been able to "practice" on the weekends. I mediate before bed and chant my mantra. Now admittedly I fell off in terms of reality checks doing them regularly but i still mediate and try to ld as often as possible. But this week I've remembered almost all of my dreams and all were scenarios where I should've known that I was dreaming I even slipped I to sleep paralysis after a crazy nightmare. I feel as though if I can resume my reality checks I can slip into an ld...but are there any tips for sleep paralysis? Staying calm when you realize? Any help is good help
