The biggest misconception about SP

As expected, it turns out that I (and many others) have been afraid of trying WILD because of the famous phenomenon of Sleep Paralysis. This morning, I finally decided to stop being a pussy and give it a try.

First of all. The wikipedia article is a liar! (well sort of) It tells about the sleep paralysis in the viewpoint of a REGULAR sleeper who accidentally finds himself/herself in a SP and starts to panic! Of course your mind tries to give you reasons why you cant move and generously gives you a hallucination of satan sitting on your lap, roasting marshmellows over your head.

The forcefully caused SP is a whole different thing altogether! the state is as "bendy" as the yoga mentors bum. You can mold and bend the hallucinations all you want, imagine forcefields, telekinetic powers etc. if you feel a need for such things. I was happy to find out that my sleep paralysis was not scary at all! Instead, it felt like an adventure into your mind. Here's my memorandum about the past three hours.

I had woken a lot of times during the morning and I remember a few short dreams, I went to use the toilet, came back to bed and started checking for news via my cellphone. I didn't plan to sleep anymore, but after a few boring news articles, I thought that I just could try to sleep again. At this time I had a random thought that "Hey! I could try to WILD now. I feel like being in the zone now."

I relaxed... After few minutes I started having these... I don't know how to describe them, "odd jolts with soundFX passing by". It's reallyREALLY hard to describe. For some reason, I thought that I was sort of moving around a giant hypotethical wheel which tuned my consciousness like a radio signal. (Seriously, has anyone else experienced this too?) The correct dream state was when my body passed the frequency of that jolty+whooshy sound. I imagined myself slowing down to it, the Jolt became longer and that's how i know i had slowed down my movement around the wheel. And JUST WHEN I managed to stop myself into this jolt+noise.. I went into a sleep paralysis. First noticeable thing was the sudden numbness of my limbs and my body. For my grief, I had my hands on my lap and as they "turned into lead", breathing felt harder, but I ignored it. My right leg rested normally, but the left was... I don't know how to say it in english... eh.. kinked/hooked upwards. Very soon after the SP, my left leg started slowly drifting forwards. At this moment I tried to move my body, only to find out that I really couldn't move at all, it felt funny, just as I imagined. It was like waking up at night and finding that your arm had gone numb... except this time it's your whole body + the lead feeling.

I started to hear a hypnacogic male voice rotating around my head in counterclockwise direction. It wasn't scary. I tried to listen to what it said, but I also tried not to pay too much attention to it. I don't remember much what he spoke about but it was the same old hypnacogical gibberyish nonsense. Then I felt that my body slowly tilted to the right side (sinked into the mattress), as if someone was pulling my leg, it was not scary... rather funny actually. Then my body tilted back to normal. I tried to change the hypnacogic male voice into something else, using my mind. I imagined it being a female voice as it somehow felt better to me. The voice distorted into a slow blur, and then "jumped" into a female voice.

As these things kept on going, I finally tried to enter into a sleep. I began seeing a pattern of a circuit board (hypnacogic image)... nothing else. I tried to imagine myself into a different dreamsettings and I only managed to receive minor sensory input from these locations. The dreamstate didn't suck me in. After a few minutes, I gave up and decided to experience how hard it is to get out of sleep paralysis... first attempts to signal my body to move was a failure, but then I snapped out of SP and could move. I don't know if it's normal but it seriously was just a second when I got out of it. (Maybe intentionally caused SP is easier to get out of than the one where people accidentally wake up into?)

Just for the kicks, I tried to get back into SP... I felt the invisible wheel again and got into SP easily. (I didn't have success of entering a sleep this time either). and again woke myself out of it very easily.

The whole session of Sleep paralysis felt oddly familiar to me. It was not an alien feeling as I imagined it to be. If you have any anxieties towards entering sleep paralysis. You should stop letting you lie to yourself and try it already.

I feel like I just had an adventure!

Try it out!

Tonight!

Sincerely and with much luvs
