      Sleep Paralysis?

      I am seeing many of you speaking of entering into this state on the way to lucidity. I have never experienced this phenomenon, and I maintain lucidity sometimes for many hours of dream-time. Is sleep paralysis something that you are consciously inducing? If so, why?

      Yes, it is consciously induced. Sleep paralysis only usually occurs after you fall unconscious and are in a sleeping state, so you don't act out your dreams. However, if your body thinks you're asleep for a long period of time, even if you're awake, it will paralyze itself. This is called WILDing.

      Sleep paralysis is the halfway point between reality and being in a dream. For some people, just getting to sleep paralysis is difficult. For others, it's getting from sleep paralysis into the dream.
      We all live in a kind of continuous dream. When we wake, it is because something,
      some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we have taken as reality.
