      The first task in self-hypnosis would be to awaken yourself habitually at about 4 am every morning so you can attempt lucid dreaming. That is easy once you understand it and apply it.

      You can't really induce sleep paralysis, so don't worry about it, it most likely won't ever happen.

      Firstly, I wouldn't put this thread here since hypnosis is not supernatural. Many studies have been conducted (with varying results) regarding the effects of hypnosis. Secondly, hypnosis isn't a technique used to put yourself into SP. Hypnosis is a state you enter and then proceed to give yourself suggestions. To grossly oversimplify hypnosis:

      1: relax the body
      2: focus the mind
      3: deepen the trance
      4: give suggestions
      5: exit the trance

      There are vast amounts of information on the topic on the web. My sig contains a basic hypnosis script I created when I was much younger. Give me a bit, and I may get around to revising it.

      You can induce sleep paralysis It obviously occurs when you fail to slip through the hypnagogic state into a dream. It actually occurs everytime your body is convinced that you are asleep, you jsut happen to witness it live, lol. It's funny to see how your body goes stiff, one finger/toe at a time. xD (Considered you fail to WILD)

      When I was younger I found a book my stepfather had in his collection about self-hypnosis. At the time in high school I was having insomnia issues. The techniques I learned from the book allowed me to relax both my mind and my body and was able to sleep again.

      One time I had a relaxation experience that had a profound affect on me. At one point I was so relaxed that I felt my body frequency change and I felt like my body just rose up off my bed and I hovered there for several seconds. I wasn't really prepared for the experience at the time and like most peoples first LD kinda got too excited and killed the moment too soon. I flinched and lost it.

      Also around this time I had my first couple LDs. I figured that the self-relaxation that I was doing had enabled me to get to the point where I could relax to deep rem sleep and enter the realm of lucid dreams. I looked it up at the library in grade 11 (1984) and can honestly say that I was the first person I knew of that actually knew what LDs even were or had had one. I've been talking about them for years and most people don't understand . . . Their loss.

      Do you happen to remember the name of the book because i am curious and i enjoy reading on this?

      And for a tip it does get easier to have a deep trance like state. I know when i first started it felt a little long 30-45 min but it has got a lot faster just keep at it.

      I used to self-hypnotize myself as a child without realizing it. Well, I think that's what it was.

      I would lie in bed and stare at a point on my wall until everything went white and just sit in that 'whiteness'. Usually, after that I would close my eyes and imagine myself floating/flying over the ocean and back to my old home (we had moved overseas when I was 8), where I would peer into the windows of my family's and friend's homes. Sometimes I would go into their houses. I didn't think I was ever leaving my body, just daydreaming.

      Maybe that's not hypnosis?

      I also used to stare at the ceiling at night, and - (you know those millions of luminous pinpoints of colour, that make night time appear 'grainy', or that are there when you close your eyes, making it not pure black?) - well, I used to stare at those, and after a while it got so I could make them flow across my field of vision in one direction, then I could halt them and make them change directions.

      Is that hypnosis?

      Or was I just a nutty child?
