Kind of intrigues me like read some of these comments
1. Sleep paralysis isn't that bad if you know it is happening
2. Your mind is in rem sleep during sleep paralysis. The paralysis comes in because during rem sleep your body cannot move. People can sleep standing up in NREM sleep but as soon as they reach REM sleep their body goes limp, they fall down, and immediately wake up. Pretty cool.

I'll have to start trying these methods; I've been very interested in inducing lucid dreams, but I'm terrified of entering sleep paralysis, the stage where your body is asleep but your mind isn't and you start hallucinating.
One reality check you can do that I know is guaranteed to work is to look into a mirror. If you see yourself, you're not dreaming. If you're dreaming, what you'll see may vary--some see someone else, something terrifying or nothing at all. It's an interesting phenomenon.

What is this? I just don't even

I've rarely had hallucinations, not recently, and only under rather extreme circumstances (e.g. extreme sleep deprivation is one way to have hallucinations). Dreaming yet more awake than lucid dream - never particularly done that, but did sleepwalking with eyes open - that's way messed up, and can be confusing as hell. I don't have disturbing sleeps.

Every time I pee I wonder if I am really dreaming, and that I am wetting my bed in the beyond world.
Interesting..
