Thread: How can I check if I'm in SP?

Thanks. I get hypnagogic imagery, twitching and numbness everytime I try to WILD but never get to SP, the next time Im going to try to visualize an image and once Im in the image Im going to try to move

I wouldnt try checking since this can ruin your concentration

Im with Ladoys on this; you dont really have to check b/c when you're there, there will be no doubts as to whether or not you're in SP. And besides, you might wake yourself up by trying accidentally, thats why I dont try to "pull" my dream body out, like a lot of people do, I just wait until I know for a fact that Im dreaming and SP is complete.

Concentrate on a point just above your head. If you're in SP you will experience an unmistakably shift. If you are close to SP you can fall right into it if you throw that focal point upward and away like a rocket.

In WILDs I never actually feel SP. I feel the onset, but never when I actually shift. However in DEILD, I feel a very distinct shift in feeling and consciousness. It's hard to explain. It kind of feels like my entire body entered an electric field (rub a ballon on your hair and then bring it near your body, that feeling) and then suddenly went back to normal.

As for checking, the only way to check would be to try and move. If you can't move then you're in SP. If you can move then either you didn't get there, or are in a dream.

I would say: Dont use your own body as test tool. Just summon another body with tactile imagination and teleport into that body. It is much safer and you can be sure you wont move your real body.

If you think you dont have mental capacity to create new body, you are probably not in REM.

Or not experienced enough An experienced WILDer could do that, but I'm not even sure that I would be able to do that since I don't practice that kind of control.
