17M, never had sleep paralysis up until recent where it would happen a few times per week and on the nights that I do have them, I have them at least twice. I heard that sleep paralysis is a gateway into lucid dreaming so I wanted to try it out. Anyways, just had a 2 hour nap where I got sleep paralysis but couldn’t move for the life of me so I just fell asleep mid SP (eyes were hella heavy). Wake up again (in a dream but my dumbass didn’t realise) and realise I’m having SP again but when I’m finally able to move, my lamp and phone wouldn’t turn on. Then I decide to go back to sleep and start to dream and then my dream fades (so I went from a dream in a dream straight back into reality I didn’t wake up in that dream again) and I wake up back in reality with sleep paralysis of course.
If I realised I was dreaming in that dream would it have turned lucid?
(fyi I have very intrusive thoughts and can’t hold steady thoughts for long except when I’m dreaming maybe adhd?)
