Thread: Making Yourself Sleepwalk

When your in REM sleep, your under Sleep Paralysis. The reason you have SP is so you dont act out your dreams.

Yay 100'th post!

What about normal sleep walkers? Are they not in REM mode?

I've always wanted to know, because sometimes where I end up makes sense, I went there in my dream. And what about sleep talking?

Sleep Walking, and Sleep Talking both occur during Deep non-REM sleep.

ive been told i used to sleep walk but i havnt done it in ages, if theirs a way to do it i would try it

What about REM itself?

Surely the motion of the eyes is acting out whats going on in the dream with real physical motion? - This has been tested successfully in sleep labs; the dreamer looks left then right 10 times and his eyes make the same movement.

If the eyes aren`t paralysed surely there is hope?? I`d be interested to know how the body/mind actually paralyses you - anyone know?

this is very funny, I once was sleep walking in my granpa's house, and i went straight to the kitchen because for some "reason" I had to turn on the gas on the stove. My mother asked me what was I doing and i said something like "I need to turn that off to save us all" and she told me after she said that when she went to put me in bed when i got in i started laughing evilly.

I remember perfectly that dream, there was a tornado in my back yard and I had to destroy it by switching something that looked like the gas button/thingy to save us all. And I also remember this tornado was destroying some of my garden plants.

So thats proved, I was oficially in REM state in that sleep walking dream.

I think sleep walking is an error that occurs when your brain "forgets" to turn of the sleep paralysis function.

wow that whould be really weird, like being in a lucid dream and still able to control ur body cool
