Thread: I H8 Reality's VILD Technique

Ok, so I wake up fine, and I can visualize fine.... but after a couple seconds, I get this feeling of pressure on my chest. I know all about sleep paralysis so I'm completely fine with this, but its so distracting that it causes me to lose my mental image every time... I must have tried this about 5 or so times last night at least, and I couldn't do it.

Any thoughts?

Make up something to explain it. Put on something really tight in the dream like a bullet-proof vest. Or, a favorite that I have when face with really uncomfortable/itchy places. Imagine that you have a wound or similar in that area. You can even build upon that if you'd like to create a good dream scene. (an epic battle in which you got sliced)

Thanks, arby. I will try that tonight.

Thanks for the technique, I'll be trying it tonight...assuming I get to sleep tonight. Did something like this a week ago, so I think it will work well for me.

So I tried this method again the other night, after it sort of worked, giving me a really vivid dream the night before. The second time, I didn't recall any dreams which I may have had, however I think I was in SP, because at one point during my visualizing, i opened my eyes, and there was a pressure on my chest, and I couldn't really move. This has never happened to me, and I was wondering if this is a step in lucidity.
