Thread: Strange things happening when I LD

throw me somewhere and paralyse me on it ( bed, floor, table whatever it can use )

This is very interesting. It's definitely related to sleep paralysis. Have you, at any time, woke up in sleep paralysis after waking up?

If there's any time you can talk before it pins you down, ask it what it represents, or why it's there. I've heard lots of stories and it seems, for some people, the subconscious is always trying to prevent you from becoming lucid/experiencing dreams with lucidity. I think this is it for your case. Or it could be a tendency to think about negative things after becoming lucid, or thinking about your physical body and the dream making a story before it makes you feel in a position of sleep paralysis.

Other than this, I really don't know. Hopefully any of these explanations or anyone else's can help you out. Sweet (lucid and not get jumped after) dreams..

I normally try to set a good story while meditating when I attempt to LD, also it's like I lose total control when it happens ( shadow figure appearance ) and can't think really well. I can't talk normally and it's like the words are coming out of my head ... but yes, I did more than once wake up in sleep paralysis and a few times there were shadow figures around me too.
