Full dive device idea

Hi. at first I say sorry for my bad english don't blame it's not my native language...
A few weeks ago I was watching SAO (Sword art online, it's an anime thing... where people have vr helmets that send electromagnetic waves and make them feel with all senses they were in a fantasy game) and this morning I had a lucid dream where i was in that anime, and thought I wish those helmets were real ( if you don't know what lucid dreaming is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucid_dream )
Later at work I got an idea of some kind of vr headset and lucid dream fusion, this may sound crazy but it might work
We can say dreaming (and even more lucid dreaming) is sorta virtual reality experience, you can feel the same things like in the real world as weight, pressure, taste, pain and other senses. the key to my idea is to use lucid dreaming technique called WILD (lying on your back without moving until your body get sleep paralysis and begin consciously dreaming ) while having head mounted vr device like Oculus rift and of course headphones and for more advanced, brain interface like EPOC Emotiv.
You might think, it may work but the movement of your virtual body be crappy and pretty hard to control..
But I didn't mentioned what for the WILD technique is, you see when your body is getting paralysed, brain "thinks" that you are asleep and starts streaming random visualizations ( or hallucinations ), but here is the trick, you still hear and react to light even if you are asleep, you can say "I sleep like a rock", but that is not true, your brain is receiving signals from your body and converts into that random dream, I've tested it by myself, for a few weeks i was listening some audiobooks and music while I was sleeping, and more than in a few dreams have seen the main characters from the audiobooks and heard the music. When your body gets paralysed you still can breathe, move your eyes and open them . In that point where hallucinations begin to occur the vr HMD takes action even with the lowest graphics game even with polygons or cubes as your hands ,but the image should look like phosphenes http://ld4all.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=40109 when you rub your eyes. Your brain immediately adds the details how you think it should look and makes you believe you are looking at your normal hands. What I mean if you would play a game with "phosphene graphics" and with not very bright light and colors( because it would woke you up from sleep paralysis ) you could have the graphics like in a lucid dream or like in a real life without super photo realistic pc graphic. But full dive means you can feel all senses, so yes, like in a dream you would feel them too, but it's "limited" how you believe would it feel that you see and hear through the HMD, so pretty much realistic senses. And the last this is to control your vr body, it should be enough to change the view position and that hands would in the image be like fog or something else that normally you couldn't describe but in that state your consciousness would automatically put the right detail, so there won't be no need for the brain interface to describe difficult finger positions, and if you would like to pick or grab some object the display would show the right detail for some time and should be easy to control it...
Things that can be for some people in sleep paralysis:
Forget that this is a game and fall asleep (often in a lucid dream)
occur other hallucinations if you relax too much
Near death experience
Higher heart rate (some time that happens to me while doing WILD)
This is not tested yet, I just used my Lucid dreaming knowledge for this idea, but this needs more research, and I'm doing for some time now. and I need YOUR HELP, you can try my idea and share your experience if you have Oculus rift or other vr device, you might need some phosphene filter for vr games or you can just lower your screen brightness to the lowest, the brain interface would be great but its optional.
Thank you for your time, if you have any ideas how to make it better I will appreciate this
