Thread: How to get out of Sleep Paralysis quickly and easily

I hate SP as much as I hate roaches. It's imbued with darkness and sadness. Bonus the stinky part. Thank you. Might give it a shot if it happened to me in the future and see how it turns out.

Please do! I'm interested in other people's SP episodes. I'm helping out a scientist with his research on it. Keep having really weird sh*t, like something poking me in the neck really fast, and an entity that tickles me which is horrid. I'd like to hear of your episodes if you wouldn't mind.

Hmm... I've had a lot of seriously freaky SP episodes. I have one particular string of experiences as a DJ entry from 3 years ago, so I'll paste it here... Please excuse the ton of reading:

"This requires a lot of explaining, so please bear with me.

Ok so about 6 months ago, I lived in a different house... Everything was normal. Then, out of nowhere I had this one dream where it felt like I was awake. But what happened was, I was laying down with my eyes closed, and I could feel my bed float off the ground a few feet, and rotate a full 360 degrees before slowly falling back to the ground again. ...It didn't stop there. A few days later, I had another one of these dreams, except it was a bit more intense. Instead of slowly floating, this time my bed floated a bit faster, right up to the ceiling of my room. My eyes were open and I saw the ceiling like 2 feet away from my head. Then it dropped quite fast onto the floor. I started to have these dreams quite often, and they kept getting more and more intense with each one. Eventually I was at the point where I would have a dream like this and my bed would either skyrocket past my ceiling and into pitch black darkness, or carefully aim itself and dive into the floor at breakneck speed. It felt like I was on a roller coaster, except way faster. After about a month or so, I actually started to discover on my own that I could kind of control where my bed was going using my mind. Although it didn't work as often as I had hoped, it still helped. Then I had this one dream... This one specific dream that really freaked me out.

My bed floated horizontally in this dream. All I saw was darkness, but I could feel it moving. And then my bed floated by a white fireplace. I didn't have a fireplace in that room. But the thing that really freaks me out about that is, there's a chimney right outside my room, as part of the house... There WAS a fireplace in my bedroom... 200 years ago, when the house was built. Maybe there's some significance to it?

The fireplace that I saw was white, and there was a small fire in it, and it was brighter than it should have been for such a small fire. Yet, the light didn't go anywhere else. The light itself only surrounded the fireplace. Eventually these dreams started to happen less often. Then I had to move out of that house. I left my old bed there because I already had a new one ready for the new house, the one I'm living in now. After I moved here, those dreams stopped ENTIRELY. I think those were lucid dreams, though. Because I felt awake in all of them. Even though these events happened not that long ago, at the time, I knew what a lucid dream was, but... I don't know... I have no idea why I didn't take control. For some reason, now, it's harder for me to fully LD... Anyway, thanks for taking your time to read this, it was pretty weird."

I still have no idea why that happened and it still terrifies me. Other notable experiences of mine include being scared of a floating black sphere that made growling noises, and holding someone's hand even though there was no-one there. (That one was the only positive SP thing I've ever even heard of. I imagined it being my significant other's hand, and then I wasn't scared.)
