Thread: Intimidated by Sleep Paralysis

what are you afraid of when you are in SP? if its the fact that you cant control yourself, remember that there is no one that has died from it/been possesed by it/never woken up from it. Once your in SP remind yourself that its only temporary.

if your afraid of the feeling or dislike the feeling, close your eyes if you can (or keep them closed if they were origianlly) and try imagaining your favorite song playing. sometimes you will hear parts of the song that you've neevr heard of before and its really cool! OR if you cant, try concentrating on a feeling that you do like form SP, maybe the feeling of being in two places at once, or feeling light as air or the vibrations. or concentrate on a worldy feeling, like... sex, or happiness.

Next time, remind yourself thats its temporary and just explore.

Sleep paraysis is a joke. I find it relaxing. I get that sleep paralysis where I feel a presence around me and im scared to go to sleep with it there but all I do is lie there and let the fear pass.

A good way to fall push yourself into sleep when your paralysed I find is to visualize your face caving in. To wake up keep trying to move your shoulders until u do.

SP can catch you off guard but once you're familiar with it then it becomes easier to tolerate/use. The first time I got SP, that I remember, I thought I was being either possessed or abducted and it scared the living shit outta me

And remember you may not get it at all. I've been having lucid dreams for years now, and have done WILDS in the past but never gotten SP. Kind of wish i would just to see what all the fuss is about.

There are ways to become lucid without experiencing SP.

If the thought scares you (like it does me) i dont think youll LD because you will always be too scared of SP. So if it isnt for you, then try the RC method.

You wont experience LD with that and its a good way to get started.

ive never had SP before, but is it possible to be prepared for every symptom like evil presence, loud noise, weight on chest, paralyzed, hearing footsteps, hard to breathe, vibrations etc.

So that when it happens your totally prepared for all things that happen so that you dont panic

SP takes place most often when attempting to WILD since SP occurs on the bridge between waking and sleeping.

There are techniques (for example DILD) that you can do that do not involve sleep paralysis.

Please review the tutorials found here and pick out a technique that is best suited for you:
