Thread: My personal way of achieving lucidity

It's strange that I seem to be the only person that didn't get freaked out the first time I had SP. I found myself awake in my bed, but unable to move (luckily no hallucinations I guess). It was a bit unnerving sure, but I just assumed it had something to do with me just waking up from dreaming (I'd never heard of SP or REM atonia before). After a few minutes of trying to move, it just decided to go back to sleep.

I almost always wake up in SP if I take a 3 hour nap 3 hours before my normal bed time, then fall asleep a second time after being awake for 3 hours or so. For best results, I need to wake up naturally after the first block and need to be sleepy at both times of falling asleep. It may work or not If I just force myself to sleep. ASP occurs during sleep onset, usually within 15 minutes.

There is nothing magical in it. No visual hallucinations anymore, just textured noises (most likely due to high theta activity in the temporal lobes). Sensed presence is still around somewhat and apparently inherent to this state. Persinger's hemispheric intrusion? Your own energy body? Visitor from other dimensions? It's all at the same time.
