Thread: Attain Sleep Paralysis and Lucid Dreaming within about 20 minutes!

Last night I discovered an easy way to attain lucidity and sleep paralysis fast. Now this may sound silly, but lay on the ground on the side of your bed on your back with your arms on your side. After about 10-15 minutes, your body will become so uncomfortable that it almost urges you to get back on your bed, when it is so unpleasent that you can't stand it anymore, get back on your bed. The body will be so relieved that it will grab the chance to fall into a deep sleep in about 5 minutes. After you fall asleep you will start the LDing.

METHOD 2. Lay on your bed on your back with your arms on your side. DO NOT go to sleep, remain conciousness. After a while your mind will question "Is the body ready to go to sleep?" to confirm that the body is still awake, it will urge you to roll over to another position. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU IGNORE THE URGE. The urge becomes excrutiatingly painful, IGNORE THE URGE! After about 5-20 seconds of pain, your mind will confirm that the body is asleep, and enter sleep paralysis. When awake and experiencing sleep paralysis, it can be scary. It will feel like you can not breathe. If you do not want to continue, change your breathing pattern into deep, long breaths. The mind will notice that the body is awake and it will wake up altogether, If you would like to continue in sleep paralysis, just sit there for about 5-10 seconds. The body will enter the Lucid Dreaming state. I hope I helped, and happy LDing.

I've never heard of the first method before, I'll try it out tonight. Do you have to lie on the floor before you go to bed, or wake up and then do it?

Get in to a relaxed state, then lay on the floor, or just lay on the floor. I don't think it makes a difference.

I think it would be best if you go to sleep normally first and then wake up after 4-5-6 hours and lay on the ground. That way you'll have a higher change of entering REM sleep instead of non-REM.

I have tried going to sellp for about 4 hours, then laying on the ground. It makes it a little bit easier to enter REM.

mmm, there are the same methods nicholas newport(lucidology 101) gave.
I never tried the first one, I'm going to do it.
the second one....makes no sense, it's like every WILD.
beware of the information he gives away, is not all correct, there is a topic on general dream discussion I think, look for "newport" on this forum.
thanks.
bye

The first method looks like it has potential, it could be cold though. Be sure to post more results when you try more often.

What's the difference between method 2 and regular WILD?

Thats WILDing? I thought that WILD was a different method.

There is no one technique for WILD. WILD is simply entering the dream state exactly from the waking state. No one technique can define it. There are so many possibilities on how to WILD.

WILDs are when you make yourself wake up at a certain time, which will keep your brain up while your body falls back asleep. Method 2 is just making your body fall asleep. WILDs are only WILDs if they have that specific process done. (not method 2)

Method 1 seems very much like a variation on WBTB. Which is cool. I like this. It is a good tip, and I've heard of similar circumstances inducing lucid dreams.

Contrary to popular belief, in a regular WILD you don't have to stay still.

These are great! Thanks Abra!

The 2nd sounds very basic. The first one is extremly interesting! I am experimenting a lot with WILDing at the moment, and this is what I'll give a try next time. I love SP and I'm always interested in new tricks.

Thanks for posting
Cheers

I'm supposed to be taking a break from LDing, but I'm very tempted to try method 1 tonight!
I'm gonna laugh my ass off if I wake up the next morning lying on the floor, lol

I did this last night nice post, but the problem i had was this, sp happend so fast that i was kind of not fully aware but in a way i was. When i was in sp, i had the cover completely covered me and i think i was dreaming, because something was different, i'm not sure, but i thought someone was on top of me when i was in sp, but i pull the blanket from over my face particially and there was no one there, and i was still in sp! That was the amazing part for me, but i was so afraid when i thought that someone was on top of me that i fought the sp and i got out of sp, that messed everything up for me and i could of possibly had entered into a dream. Except for the fact, if i was dreaming, i was dreaming that i was still in bed and everything looked so real, i just don't know how i got into sp so fast wow! I haven't gotten into sp in about a month or so ago, and the last time i got in sp what happend was, i was dreaming that i was in my room and i was floating toward the ceiling. When you're in sp, why does it feel like someone's laying on top of you when you know noone is really there? The old hag thing.

As I said, entering SP while concious can be scary, Now that sensation that someone was on top of you, That is called the lead blanket effect, it feels that somone/something is pushing down on your chest, making it extremely hard to breathe. It is different for every person, on how fast you go into SP for some, it happens very quickly, for some it can't happen. Anyways, it feels like someone is on top of you, because you can't breathe that well, and your bones are pressuring against you.

I had such problems with SP when I wasn't practicing LDs. I found solution for the heaviness on the chest...simply roll over to your right side.
I know that is the moment when your body is much likely to get out of SP, but to remain in it I simply play dead (I exhale, hold it and imagine being dead for a second or two) and then I simply continue with my regular breathing pattern.

What I just read about the last time you went into Sleep Paralysis and you were dreaming that you were in your room floating towards the ceiling. That wasn't a dream. You were having an Out-of-Body experience. Just don't do that too often because it can become quite difficult to return to your body. But it is quite amazing you had that experience.

Are you guys doing this before bed?

Yes, why would we do it when we get up?

Because that's normal when you WILD.


still interesting though

Wait. I did this during a wbtb and succeeded. This could work before sleep?

It might be a lot harder but I think so. Your body isn't really in the "dream" phase of sleep yet, you do have dreams but they aren't nearly as vivid as the ones during REM

Well, I tried method one but fell asleep =\

My sister thought I had fallen out of bed (again).

I'm going to give 1 another shot though-- on the kitchen floor this time.
