Thread: Total Paralysis

its called sleep paralysis.


do a search on it, theres a lot of info

Listen to BPolar.

If what you're saying is true you have a possible vehicle that might take you directly into a lucid dream.

The are right this is SP. What you should do is relax and concentrate on letting yourself float. If you think very hard about floating you will have the sensation of being as light as a feather and it will take you into a wonderful WILD and onto a Lucid Dream. SP is one of the strongest keys of obtaining Lucidity and since you are aware of it you have a very large chance of going into a sweet lucid dream. Use your mind during SP and you can create your own lucid world before you even arrive to it. Don't be frighten of it and don't fight it just relax and imagine yourself floating and you will find yourself in a Lucid Dream fully aware in no time.

Good luck!

Thanks,
but it is very hard to relax during sp as it is quite frightening when hearing a lot of noises including heavy breathing and a hand sensation on my shoulder and also not been able to do anything about it. I have LD's on a regular basis but the sp doesnt happen as much to me as in the past. It comes and goes every couple of months.

the pressure on your chest and neck is part of "the old hag" and you shouldnt be afraid. its all part of SP and it happens everytime you go to sleep. You were just lucky enough to be concious while it happened!


the breathing is probably hypnogogic sound


look these up with the search feature-

Yeah I know it's quite difficult, and It took me a while as a child to just lay there and relax and consume everything that was going on in my head. All you have to do is just own it. Till this day it makes me uncomfortable and I've been having SP for years and years but I just let go and relax. Don't focus on the noise and don't worry about feeling something touch you because it's just your mind manifesting your fears. So just clear your thoughts and try concentrating on nothing else but floating. I promise you will not regret it.
