Thread: force your way out of SP

Open your eyes and you should go out of SP.

If you reach SP there is a good chance that you'll start dreaming. It either happens or it doesn't and it seems to be random so don't get discouraged.

Just hold your breath until you wake up.

is this true?

It's hard to control your breath while you're in the SP fase..
Atleast I couldn't regulate it well..

I noticed this too. I had to breathe really hard through my nose, and I think it's almost impossible through your mouth.

Yeah, I think you can force your way out of SP. Just keep trying to move, no matter how hard it is.

Opening my eyes never did anything for me but make it scarier cause then I knew I was awake and paralyzed.

It may take a second, just remind yourself that it's perfectly natural to be paralyzed. Once your eyes are open your mind should reconnect itself to your body, it doesn't like getting inputs from your eyes, but not the rest of you.

transflux: I think he is asking how to get out of SP while awake, not awaken from an LD.

I never experienced SP before, do you get it after you get up to do a WBTB or can u get it once you first lie down in bed?

Actually my eyes are always open when I go into SP. Opening and closing them has no effect. I find that darting your eyes around really fast to the far corners helps slightly.

I've experienced SP quite a few times (although not very recently), and my eyes are always open when it happens. I find that just concentrating really hard, and moving my eyes around really fast helps and usually get's me out of SP. But that's just me.
