Hi just had a couple quick questions. Itd be nice to get sum advice Okay so ivelucid dreamt (or at least I think they were lucid dreams) twice and the first real one I broke out of my normal dream and I woke up in my room and took a couple deep breathes to settle down my paranoia. Then I wiggled my fingers and toes and broke some of the paralysis away. thought ”mmm I wanna leave now.... I dont likethisscary feeling....”. So I started contemplating ideas to wake up, since jerking my head dosent work (anymore). i got the idea that maybe sleep paralysis is acctully sleep walking!So i thought maybe if i sling shot my head on edge the bed i would awake. Didnt work. So then i tried reaching around for my phone to get to my flash light app and shine it in my eyes. It took me a while but eventully it appeared! I looked at the screen and the wierdest thing ever happened! It was some app on my phone i have never seen before! It read off some words that just sounded crazy or mad, and the backround was trippy. Finally i went back to sleep. The other time was in the day so i broke completly out of paralysis and looked around the room and got up and shut the door. Then i got bored and went to sleep., i woke up not knowing i was still dreaming but somehow i figured out i did, so i went back to sleep. Then i woke up AGAIN not knowing i was dreaming and startes getting ready for school and putting on clothes, and out of the corner of my eye a shadow movedquicklysoi feel to floorscared and realized i was still dreaming! I started crying with fusteration and paranoia, and then woke up in waking life.

So my questions are:
1.) Were those lucid dreams?
2.) How do i leave my room and out of the house without paranoia/anxiety?
3.) when i do start getting more advanced with lucid dreaming how will i talk to people if im scared theyll do something sudden or scary?
4.) How can i levitateout of my room?
5.) What are so calming techniques i can use?
6.) Im told these are false awakenings or sleep paralysis but thats all i can get too! I cant lucid dream. Like every time i realize ”hey im dreaming” i always go straight to my bed unable to move or speak. Any advice?
Thank you!

that sounds more like astral projection than lucid dreaming- lucid dreaming is usually when your in a dream scenario and you realise you are dreaming, and can then control the dream. when i get lucid dreams i dont usually suffer from sleep paralysis, that is usually pre-astral projection.

Lucid dreaming is when you realize you are dreaming and can do what you want. It doesn´t accompany fear, you just plan to do some fun. At the moment you realize your dreaming you start waking up (you can try preventing it but doesn´t work').
What you experienced sounds more like unconsciously getting in the astral realm. You probably (half) left your body and tried waking up in the ordinary way. I had it once that I noticed that was in a dream and wanted to wake up, waked up to wake up and up again until I finally left that circle of waking up (also each time tried to turn on the light by pulling the cord made the click sound as usual but no light until I really waked up and could finally turn on the light). And then with the feeling what the hell just happened.
In the beginning becoming aware of the astral realm can make you feel bit unpleasant because can be quite scary sometimes (even if you realize it is just your ego that is making a problem out of nothing) in contrary to lucid dreams that at least I always experienced as pleasant.
