Thread: Possible to unintentionally get SP..?

Not to scare you, but it is very possible to get unintentional sleep paralysis. Fortunately for you though, Since you know what SP is you might be a little more prepared for it. I was waking up to unintentional sleep paralysis for years before I found out what it was.

Just dont be scared of it. If you aren't scared you can use it to your advantage and turn it into a lucid dream. and Psylis is right. There is nothing to fear about SP. It can be scary at first but you'll get over it. Ask anyone on here who uses the WILD technique.

Yeah I suppose I'll be more prepared if it actually does happen, but I can't even watch scary movies without losing sleep. lol I'm trying to stick to DILDs and go to sleep normally, any tips on...falling asleep normally?

any tips on...falling asleep normally?

step 1: turn off any lights in the room.
step 2: approach the designated bed.
step 3: lay down on the mattress, position yourself comfortably, and rest your head on a pillow. You may use a blanket if necessary.
step 4: close your eyes, try not to move too much, and let about twenty minutes pass.

Congratulations! If you were successful you should now be asleep.

*You may have the memory of a dream upon waking up, but that is completely normal.

I've experienced unintentional SP several times in my life, and they were all disturbing to me, but the only times I've gotten them were after I've taken a long, long nap when I was really fatigued during the day, or once when I was sick and briefly fell asleep on an air mattress on the floor.

Experiencing the fear is natural and instinctual, but it's never been life-threatening, and I'm just starting to alter my perceptions of it. The last time I woke up all groggy and had SP, I tried to convince myself that this was a perfect situation to enter a WILD, but my gut still said, "No frickin' way, uh-uh, I'll do it another time but it's not worth it now". I wish I had just calmed down and tried it out.
