Thread: New guy here, got a couple questions about my experiences.

Hey, I experience SP all of the time too. Read what mine is like to compare with your own. http://www.dreamviews.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10713

Describe your SP more though. You mentioned nothing of sounds, vibrations, feeling of energy, etc.

Mine also aren't overly strange either. I can open my eyes, look around the room, etc. But I have scene some crazy stuff in the past, so I try not to. There isn't anything cool to look at anyway.

If you remain calm, and free your mind, you can prolong the SP. Then just imagine what it feels like to rotate/spin. After a few minutes of trying that, you will actually feel like you are spinning. I've had a few OBE's from SP, so just keep trying. What will probably happen is that you will have a spontanious OBE like I did, where you weren't trying to have one. That will blow your mind away. SP is nothing compared to lucid dreams and OBEs.

If you read my dream journal, I finally had an amazing lucid dream where I actually woke up in my dream bed and walked around my house. I got there from first being in SP.

Good luck.

Whats SP?

Sleep paralasis - when your body is dreaming, it assentially shuts of signals to act out any off your physical actions that you would be doing in a dream. Somtimes opon awakening the paralasisi persists momentarily.

Usually my SP consists of a total sort of clarity. I don't feel any energy waves, or hear any specific sounds though. All my senses are esentially normal aside from occasional flashes of dreams. They seem to be triggered by outside stimuli.

I fell asleep in my car at Walmart once, and woke up SP'd, and at first I just focused on being concious, and I could hear people talking as they got in the car beside me and drove away. Then I lost focus, and when a woman nearby started talking, I dreamt that I was sitting in a chair having a drink with my old kindergarden teacher and a friend of hers laughing it up. Suddenly they started to drift away as reality returned, and I remember purposefully making myself say "Hey, can you hear me? Hello?" and by the time I said hello in a raspy voice, I shot back to reality (though still in SP) as someone walked by my car, so I probably scared the crap out of them.

SP scares me......i don't experience it often, but when i do i usually feel the presence of evil. See one night i wanted to see what it was, i was in the middle of the SP and i actually wanted to see if i could take control of the moment but of course i couldn't...i did see a black shadow tho but whenever i experience a SP i feel something trying to pull me somewhere

The reasons that these things you feel happens is what your mind has preconcieved SP to be before learning what it really is. What it really is is just your body in a tempory phase where you can not move. No harm has ever come of sleep paralysis.
Also your train of thought, "i actually wanted to see if i could take control of the moment but of course i couldn't. " Well of course you couldn't
You must go into these situations with the thought that you can. Now as far as SP. That, in most cases you cannot control, But you can percieve it as a nonharmful event in which case there would be no shadows or evil feelings.

I'm a little crazy, and I was wondering what all the "fright fuss" was about, so one day in SP I TRIED to imagine something bad was happening. Nothing happened though, so I got bored and jostled myself back to the real world.

Maybe it's because I'm naturally unafraid of situations. I remember several occasions such as an air horn alarm going off in the middle of class, and everyone jumped a mile high while I stayed completely calm.

If we could all be so lucky
I am afaraid of my own shdow

Whether the evil entity visits you all depends on whether or not you have the lights on and if you are alone.

hmm... either way with lights on or off, I've never seen anything bizarre. Most of the time I'm alone, but when I SP in my car in a parkinglot with people walking about (waiting for someone in the store) I don't have any problems either.

Then again, my friend Jill goes to haunted houses alot, and she won't take me with her because when she does, nothing happens. Who knows, right?
