hello Fleep and jompa99 
I’m glad LDing caught your interest Fleep 
… but before starting to use LDing techs you should improve your general dream recall first 
so i recommend that you start keeping a dream journal 
to record your dreams … I know it sounds boring but remembering weird normal dreams can be fun
I can’t wait until you post to tell us all about your first LD 
jompa99, there is an extensive topic about SP in the stuff forum Sticky: The BIG sleep paralysis and old hag topic Part III … as you can see there are two previous topics too. So you will find a lot of information there 
the worse thing is the fear! you just have to realise that none of it is real and it will pass … it might even be possible to re-enter a dream lucidly from this state.
