I'm really new at lucid dreaming but i'm extremely lucky that I can almost always get into SP within a few minutes at times. Longest it usually takes me if I don't fall asleep first is about 10 - 15 mins. |

How long does it usually take you guys to get into sleep paralysis? Just wondering. Sorry if this thread was already made. |

I can get in with a WBTB within a minute or two, but when I don't WBTB it takes me quite a bit longer. The whole induction is about 1/2 hr but I don' t know where SP falls in there... |

It differs strongly from person to person; it all depends on how fast they can relax and stay still, etcetera. It takes me a good 1.5 hours without falling asleep; 30 minutes using WBTB. I'm trying to work on my times to make it more convenience for myself. |

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.

I think it also depends on your previous day. Amount of exercise, stress, planning, whatever...all of it factors into your mental state and can affect how long it takes for you to properly relax and all that. I've actually been able to identify certain activities in the day making it easier or harder to get into SP. |

Well, then, my guess is you were trying too hard to notice when SP came along. If you're laying there just waiting for SP or HI or whatever, chances are it won't come because you're keeping your mind too awake. Your goal should be just to remain conscious and let whatever's going to happen to happen. If your goal is to feel SP or see HI then you'll probably not do too well. |

It takes me an hour or more to get SP after waking up early at 6am. But like Livethedream says, I lay there waiting for it and wondering, "oh, is this it, is it starting???". I should try to chill a little bit but I don't want to miss it and just fall asleep. |

Oh that's a good idea. This morning I started counting my 7 chakras (no, I'm not new agey, but this is kind of a variation on the 61 points of relaxation. I just made it up this morning.) and synchronized the counting with my breathing. When I would be at the lower chakras there wouldn't be much paralysis but when I would get to my head area, that's when things would start to get interesting. I eventually started going numb and I lost consciousness of my body and felt like one field of awareness. Then I started hearing things and this transitioned into a very short lucid. You know the deal. I like your technique better though. I've read about it before but haven't tried it yet. I'm going to try it next time! It seems to take me so long to get to SP. I'm still new at this and have only had a handful of WILDS. |
