Hi Rob :-) Yes, I would say that anxiety has been named as one of the possible causes for Sleep Paralysis. And Yes, the part about your knowing in your dream that it was a dream and you wanted out is a sign of Lucid Dreaming. Rob, getting back to the SP, have you ever considered taking an anti-anxiety medication and seen if that works to alleviate the symptoms? Well, good luck and best wishes for a good night sleep. ~ Kayla
