After researching sleep paralysis and lucid dreaming, I've been able to have lucid dreams every other if not every night. As for sleep paralysis, all you have to do to prevent that is avoid sleeping on your back; face a wall or something when you're sleeping so that you don't have to see those shadows. I've avoided sleeping on my back and haven't gone into paralysis once.

My first lucid dream (gateway lucid dream?) was pretty short. I had been trying to lucid dream for 2 weeks or so (using the advice at the bottom of this post) and I was so excited when I became lucid for the first time. I was in this place where huge purple/pink mushrooms were everywhere and the ground had purple grass and shit. I saw this girl with a fine ass leaning on one of the giant mushrooms and started trying to fuck her (the primary reason I wanted to lucid dream was to fuck girls from my school), then I woke up. For some reason any time I become lucid and start thinking of sex, my mind just ends the dream... I hate it but obviously it's trying to get a message across.

If you want to lucid dream a lot like me, perform frequent reality checks throughout the day and ask yourself "am I dreaming?" each time. Also, write down everything you remember about your dream as soon as you wake up (even if it's as little as 1 word). This is cliche advice, but it's what allowed me to start.
