Thread: Theory behind SSILD

Hopefully when I try it out again, I can figure something out before I get frustrated and give up :3

It's not SP, just a variation of the many sensations you may experience while falling asleep. Instead of fighting it, you should go with it and allow it to increase its range and motion. Once sufficiently increased you should be able to do a nose-pinch RC and just get up and start playing.

Ahh that would explain why it's such a different feeling from my normal SP. Almost every SP i get into is basically just the same, but the feelings i get from trying SSILD are odd. That would make much more sense. Thank you!
