With respect to the supposed "sleep paralysis" I occasionally get the "lead blanket" feeling reported by many. I have tested several times but never found myself unable to move, so at least in my own case this is not a state of paralysis.
Thats really interesting. What I would be really interest in would be the state when you move from fully awake to more inward focused state. Becouse according to my predictions {and partially observations} there has to be some awareness change..My questions would be:

1. Is this awareness change always appearant?
2. If so... Is that change spanned over larger interval or does it come in one point in time?

You know what i mean. .... Really the bodily sensations are not of much importance to me. The body simply gets numb... But the mind.. How does it get more ... How to say it... Dreamy?

And one more think. Could you please give some constructive feedback on this?:
