Alot of SP's last night..

Last night i couldn't sleep. After watching TV uintill like 6 in the morning i decided to try to go to sleep. I closed my eyes, and I started hearing this loud beep. I realized i couldn't move. I got kind of freaked out, but I remembered that it is kind of normal. When i could move again, I tried again.
Same beep appeared. Again I couldn't move. I got kind of worried when it happened for the 3rd time in like 5 minutes. Then i fell asleep.

Maybe i'm getting closer to having more LD's now :banana:

You always experience SP. You just most of the time are not awake during it:)


:D

Well yeah.. But I have never been awake when it happened before. Thought it was kind of cool.. xD

Nice:)


What does it feel like? Or should I be saying what does it NOT feel like?

loool:D

I cant really descrive how it felt. I just realised i couldn't move anything, and i got a bit nervous :p

Yep.
You're practically knocking on a lucid dreams door when you get to that point. Just try to remain calm through whatever sensations you experience and soon after you should slip into a dream state completely lucid if you can hang onto your consiousness.

I have the toughest time transitioning from SP to LD.

Usually I am fully aware that my body is asleep, I am completely paralyzed and I can hear myself snoring. So I sit and wait and (still) get a little freaked out from the vibrations/sounds, especially when they reach a roaring momentum. But I don't ever really see any visualizations or transition into a dream.

After what seems like ages I get bored and either just kind of watch myself sleep, and eventually wake up, or forcefully wake myself up.

But yeah, the first time experiencing SP consciously can be quite scary and can still be scary sometimes even after you've gone through it a lot and are used to it.
