I'm sorry this doesn't address your issue, but I have to ask a question. Do you enjoy roller coasters? If so, I can't see why would hate SP, as it can frequently seem like a roller coaster...I enjoy it. |

So I've been getting Sleep paralysis every single night for the last past few weeks. It doesn't seem to matter what time I go to bed, be it late or early, I still manage to fall into it. |

You give me a point in the 7th dimension, and I'll show a Bigfoot with purple fur baking, with molten air, a cake of cocaine topped with perpetual, flaming icing in an ice kitchen that's part of a hovering ice condominium society that orbits a volcano made of pound cake that spews kittens made of rainbows, consisting of 87 distinct colors, and bananas...
I sympathize with your situation since I was plagued with SP in the mid 90's, sometimes having episodes 4 or 5 times in one night. They were always scary shit - I got of course huge vibrations, crazy sounds, insane laughter, hands grabbing and pulling my legs, and even visuals, thou most nights I'd have my eyes tightly shut in fear. That was before I realized what SP is. Now I am trying like crazy to induce it! |

Yes, I know this. And I'm sorry if I offended you. I just assumed that since all the SP I've ever experienced was always radically different every single time, maybe the same could be true with you, wherein if you were in my shoes, you'd be right at home.... |

Meh, it seems that my long sleep-ins of recent have been helping and so far SP has been at bay. |

yea some people find SP to be uncomfortable, it can scare the shit out of people who don't know what it is, and just happened to experience it. Just stay still and don't try to fight it. Focus mentally on your dream. If wilds not for you do mild instead. |

Shaking my head has never failed to break out of SP. |

Lucidology 101 has lot's of good points on sleep paralysis, and LD induction. According to the lucidology blog: |

Breathing works for me when i want to jerk myself out, it doesn't usually work alone for me, but it helps free up my voluntary muscles to jerk my head to wake up. |
|
I have seen a TV programme recently where someone suffering from bad SP was prescribed anti-depressants. |

With respect guys, if I've made an error in a post I'm more than happy to have my error pointed out to me in a polite way and be told the facts. |

You can't just advise someone to quit his/her medication like that. |

I'll trade you positions? I cannot get to complete SP for the life of me! |

Spoiler for Lucidity Secrets:
I tried this a couple of nights ago when I had some eps of SP. It worked almost flawelessly.. I don't know whether it was purely psychological or it actually had the affect it was supposed to.. but it seemed to work. It was a little strange adjusting breathing patterns.. feels as though you're forcing your body to do something it doesn't want to.. but it wasn't that bad. |
