Thread: Can't Enter FULL SP - Body is only numb

I don't know enough about SP to tell you how to get into full SP from there, because I would assume that staying still and waiting it out would be enough. If you are trying to reach SP to WILD, then in my experience, partial SP is enough to help induce a WILD. The full SP will kick in at the moment you're entering the dream state.

It's also possible to WILD without getting to SP while awake at all.

It was really to induce an OBE, I Dl'd the saltcude video which is excellent but the explanation on how to reach FULL SP isnt really that clear, thats the only real thing thats stopping me from progressing and its really frustrating as I don't know what I'm doing wrong therefore I can't change any of my technique

Try this!
Just chill and relax until your body is numb then VISUALIZE! It's just so easy! I try to just let my brain take over the visualizations. That's the key. I think once this happens completely and the visualizations become more realistic, you will either hit SP or go strait to a Lucid Dream.

man, when i WILD, i dont really visualize anything. i always keep in mind what i plan on doing once in the LD every 15 seconds or so though. honestly, with every exhale, just visualize and feel ur body get heavier, and heavier... then ur heart pumps fast when u know SP is coming. then, almost like an epileptic attack my body started freaking out and vibrating like crazy for 2 exhales, then i was in my dream room. pretty simple really, just takes discipline

McLoone, I usually do reverse blinking before I attempt to enter SP. It deeply relaxes your body beforehand, while still keeping your mind active. That might be just the extra boost you need.

While we're on the topic though...I've only entered SP a few times. I'm like McLoone, I usually just get really relaxed and my extremities are numbed. The last couple of nights, however, my body feels like it's about to go into SP and then I just get incredibly uncomfortable. I don't really know how to explain it. It doesn't hurt - it feels more like I just have to move, stretch, or do something or I will just go insane.

Does anybody know what I'm talking about? Any tips?

I've heard that that is your body trying to 'test' if you are awake or not. If you don't move anything the brain convinces the body that you are asleep and SP sets on. I know it's insanely hard not to move, but if you don't move you get into SP faster.

I know thats a post of Kaeraz, but I don't move at all, if I move anything, it's swallowing of possibly my eyes. I just need solid advice on how t get into FULL SP, this is the noly thing stopping, and the fact I can get HALF way there is good but at the same time frustrating.1

Where was it that you DLed the saltcube video. I'm onto the whole OBE thing. The reason is, I remember one night I had woken up from a nightmare and apparently was caught in the middle of SP. While in SP I somehow tried lifting my right hand up but couldn't and instead, I saw a ghostly hand come out of what would be my regular hand. This I still have not forgotten ever since and I'm frustrating my butt-off to learn to have OBEs.

I would point you to a thread that appeared with this idea yesterday, it's not my own idea...but I appear to have forgotten/lost it. It was something like...

...an alarm clock. on friday night, set to the alarm clock early-ish, than normal,when it wakes you up, don't turn it off, just whack the snooze button every 10 minutes and go back to sleep, monday morning. I think theres a good chance you will experience full SP and know to recognise/get to it if you attempt a WILD in the future... I don't know if I explained this well enough, the other guy had it down to a tee.

For other things however, such as jittery eyes, swallowing, I try to direct attention away from those things, as they are incredibly distracting, usually I focus on a point just behind my naval, as I attempt a WILD.

Thanks, any other suggestions ?
