    Damn that’d be nice. I’ve only had one lucid dream but every time I’ve tried to get one again I’ve landed myself in sleep paralysis.

      Sleep apnea is the general cause of sleep paralysis. It’s good idea to check if you happen to have a chance. :)

        I think they’re referring to staying conscious and meditating towards sleep to keep lucidity during the transition. It’s a technique.

          Yes, and the fact that they keep finding sleep paralysis instead of a lucid dream is a little concerning, so this person is recommending they talk to a professional about it.

            If you’re meditating your way towards a lucid dream, and end up in sleep paralysis, it’s not because of sleep apnea. And if it was, you’d know since the intent is to be aware through the whole process into the dream.

              I wanna say it’s due to “delta waves” being produced by the brain. We believe it’s a part of the sleep cycle that may help protect us from physically “acting out” our dreams.
