Paralysis

So I have never done any sort of lucid dream and I am just getting into it. I keep failing at attaining lucidity by doing a DILD for the last few days so I decided to try a WILD. So what I tried was I went to bed at 12 am and set my alarm for 6:30 am, i woke up had a coke and some chocolate. I set another alarm for 7:30 am, once that alarm went off I went back in bed and lied on my back. I just relaxed and focused on my breathing as much as possible. I kept thinking I starting to vibrate but it was just my pulse getting stronger and stronger. I can literally feel that i am not going into sleep paralysis for a long time when i have read only takes like 15 minutes. I get up and look at the clock and its been 45 minutes. I am now posting this in hope someone has some advise for me because i have lost a little bit of lucid motivation. Any advice would help, thanks.

I have been both sick as a dog, and out of town. Dreams have been so crazy. At one point, I was nightmaring lucidly about the Saw movies, which I do not even watch (Saw 1-3, then gave up.),

So I was in this forest. It was all gray and gloomy looking. In a clearing in the forest were a bunch of stone huts. They were tall enough to walk in but you would have had to slouch to fit.
