Sure sounds like it to me! It's not always scary, and there isn't always pressure on the chest. |

I 'wake up' in bed, but I can hardly move. I try wiggling some fingers, which I can do, but other limbs, I don't even sense them there, let alone move them. I try to turn my head and my neck is absolutely immobile, I feel pressure there when I try to turn, but it doesn't move. |

Never tried it but from what I've gathered it definetly sounds like it. Also check this link if you wanna know more about it |

Definitely sleep paralysis if you were awake and couldn't move. Dark matters is correct on this. |

Thanks for the opinions. I'm glad it was sleep paralysis, because it's easier to do a WILD if I know what this phase is like. It was so not scary, kind of cool to look back on, actually. I think the white noise helped, people talk about hearing creepy footsteps from their heartbeat, but what can be creepy from a continuous droning fan? And you can always keep your eyes closed. |
|
That has always been my thought. People talk about seeing things, and I just think "close your eyes?" Haha. |

Well it depends on the technique you choose, most here just require a WBTB. Find your own path to it though. To me inducing SP actually seems to be the easier way, people that can do it have more success. I haven't done it that way though. |

Yup, sounds like SP, and SP is indeed usually not scary, more often we make SP scary by subconsciously suggesting things why we can't move, and sensations/hallucinations of it vary from person to person so yeah. |
