      voluntary sleep paralysis

      I've been practising Wilding for a while now, not necessarily in a WBTB format but when initially going to sleep, just to practise reaching sleep paralysis and vibrations.

      I've found out that I can voluntarily paralyse parts of my body, just five minutes after lying down, by just tensing the muscles in that region. Is this normal?

      Oh, and has anyone stayed aware, essentially Wilding, from going to sleep to the first REM period. I tried it and nearly made it the other day, as I heard that REM latency (the amount of time to the first REM period from going to sleep) can be as short as an hour and a half.

      A week or two ago I laid down to sleep and went right into a couple of short lucid dreams. I was very tired though and the dreams were less than stellar.

      I haven't intentionally laid down for core sleep and been able to WILD, if that's what you're talking about.

      no, just achieve sleep paralysis or paralysis in certain areas by tensing them.

      I've never tried that. I'm not a fan of sleep paralysis.

      I'm not sure if what you can do is normal. I've read about people losing feeling in various body parts while WILDing but they didn't do it intentionally, if I remember correctly.

      I can do it especially with my abs. I tense them and they become paralysed once I've been lying down for like 5 or 10 minutes.

      I can voluntarily induce WILD by means of SP when DEILDing by relaxing my muscles. I don't know how this can be done by tensing muscles, as this can constitute moving them.

      If it works for you, then I guess you've accomplished something.
      This is the date of my first lucid: 3/6/2010
      It took WAY TOO LONG - but was completely worth it.

      I used to be able to do that. I don't know what happened, but now they don't get paralyzed, just a little numb.

      I seem to remeber reading about inducing SP faster by twitching your muscles, and this sounds simmilar to that. The theory was that sometimes your body checks if you're asleep by twitching your muscles, so if you do it, it'll think it's checking if your asleep, and then think your asleep, and then go into SP. Never tried it though.
