Thread: Do you always get Sleep Paralyses when...

Sleep paralysis is related to lucid dreams, in fact, it's the medium for many people to enter them.

Bingo. I can rarely lucid dream without sp. You actually experience sp every single night that you sleep, its just you dont know it because well, your asleep....

Whenever i begin to enter sp im like "omg yes time to ld!" When you start to enter sp, once you get that ringing noise and the freaky sensation, you just have to remain calm and begin to visualize where you will b e when the dream starts and voila, darkness fades to light and you are now in your dream. Thats how i do it anyway.

The only time SP has ever really scared me is before i actually knew what it was. Rare times i would wakeup in the middle of the night, however my body would still be asleep, and it freaks you out because you cant move, you can look around, but you damn sure cant move, cant even yell, but you just have to remain calm and struggle a bit to get out of it, this is all if you happene to WAKE during sp, its very rare however, but it can be scary.

The important thing is to learn to induce SP by "tricking" the mind. This is done usually during WBTB's when youve been asleep for atleast 5 hours sometimes 4 and a half, and you go back to sleep, but keep the mind concious. do whatever it takes, even if you have to resort to doing math problems in your head. Eventually you will just start to get that SP because you havent moved your body, yet you kept your mind awake, your body begins the process of sleep, but the mind is awake. SP just really serves a lucid dreamer as a marker and alarm of when to begin to visualize the dream.

I hope this makes sense.

Makes perfect sense. Do you have the feeling your head is expanding or getting big and little at the same time before you get SP?

Did you take afternoon naps before the nights when you got it randomly?

Happy dreaming

Do you happen to get that feeling during dreams that you have during a fever?
