Okay, reading a little more told me that during hypagognitic or whatever hallucinations there may be whispers and other feelings close to you. It also said this is can be a scary encounter, but usually means the start of full sleep paralysis. |

What you experienced is normal in sleep paralysis. Ever heard of people waking up to think there's someone sitting on them? Or an eerie presence by the side of their bed, and they can't get the person off/move? That's sleep paralysis. Take it as a good sign, you're getting somewhere, just try to stay calm and ignore the weird sensations next time. |

Thanks a lot man, I appreciate it! |
|
You're very close! That is a great description of a typical sleep paralysis experience. You can try to interact with the "presence" to fully enter the dream. Ask it for help. |
|
Okay, so I can get to and through this stage, but then nothing else happens? |

JakeQuade, this actually sounds like sleep paralysis and successful transition into LD to me. You said that after SP had faded you looked at your hands and they looked different, being "dead white". It sounds like to me that when you looked at your hand you were in a full lucid dream, considering this is one of the ways to reality check is looking at your hands and seeing if they look different. Apparently yours did = ld. Did you just go to sleep regularly after you "realized" the attempt had failed? It is very common for new people to mistakingly roll over in the ld, and drift into a non-lucid dream.. |

Start from the ground and go up from there.
@atkins513, I used reality checks at that time and safely assumed I was awake. |

Thank You very much. I appreciate that. It seems strange to me that your hands looked different though and you weren't lucid... what reality checks were you using to confirm true reality? There are some known to wrk much much better than others... Some people unknowingly use RC's that depend on imagination or dream control and those will fail based on your own belief of whether it will work or not.. not actual reality or non reality.. for instance, the finger thru the hand rc works for many people.. but it would still be very possible for your mind to not let you stick your finger through the palm of your hand no matter how hard you tried... if you are interested, I know a few RC's that are almost 100 percent.. let me know. |

I used the reality checks of pinching your nose and trying to breathe, |

I'll post here for now so the information can pass onto others seeking the same information. |
