Thread: What SP feels like: the explanation.

Hello everybody!!

I have seen multiple questions asked on the forums about SP (sleep paralysis). Including but not limited to "does sleep paralysis hurt?", "I'm scared of sleep paralysis", "what are the HI like during sleep paralysis?".

I'm hoping to cover these and many other topics on SP during this post.

Now the first question "how do you get into sleep paralysis?"

Well the most basic answer to this I's to lay still for a periode of time without moving, it also helps to have your eyes closed, just remember to stay awake.

Second "how long does it take to get into sleep paralysis?"

For most people it takes anywhere from 5-60 minutes to achieve sleep paralysis. For me when I am just going to sleep it takes me about 10 minutes to get into sleep paralysis; but when using WBTB it only takes about 5-8 minutes.

Third "what I's sleep paralysis?"

To put it simply sleep paralysis I's what happens to just about everybody during sleep. What I't does I's paralize you while you dream so you don't act them out.

Sleep paralysis I's not really used for WILD so much as it goes along with it.

Fourth "I's sleep paralysis scary?"

This I's differient for everybody, for me all I get I's vibrations, numbness, and parts of my body feeling cold, I also get insane urges to move.

Others report scary visuals, noises like people yelling. To overcome this just lay back and remember that you cant be hurt. If it gets to intense try wiggling your fingers, then arms, then shoulders, and work your way from there.

Fifth "does sleep paralysis hurt?"

I have never seen any reports of sleep paralysis "hurting" although there are a lot of reports of being uncomfortable, itching, coldness. Of you are wanting to obtain sleep paralysis do not worry about being I'n pain.

Sixth "what I's HH and what I's it like?"

HH stands for hypnogenic hallucinations. They are sights or sounds during sleep paralysis.

I never get HH except right before the transition into a dream unless I'm performing a DEILD, then I see flickering lights and shadows.

Most people see differient colors of blobs that start to form pictures and eventually form a dream.

The sounds people hear I's beeping, swooshing, and sometimes people talking.

Seventh "what does Sleep paralysis feel like?"

This should be one of the first questions I should have answered.

For me sleep paralysis contains slight spinning movements, vibrations, numbness, coldness, and faint ringing I'n the ears.

Other people report the feeling of acceleration, spinning, dizziness, lights, colors, noises of people talking, beeping, buzzing, heart beating fast, being uncomfortable, and wanting to roll over.

Eighth "why would you want to achieve sleep paralysis?"

You really don't "want" to hit sleep paralysis, but if your trying to WILD then it shows that your on the right track. If after about an hour of laying there you feel no SP then maybe you should change up your technique.

NOTE NOT EVERYBODY FEELS SP WHEN WILDing.

If you want me to add any questions that I left out just ask!
