Thread: Is this safe and effective or vice versa?

That's called a WILD (wake induced lucid dream). Many people practice it, some even on a daily basis; it's entirely harmless. You're falling asleep like normal, except that you're conscious as you fall asleep and enter the dream. The hallucinations experienced during sleep paralysis can be unnerving at times - you might hear bangs, crashes, feel a presence in the room... but that's probably the "worst" part of it.

Interesting. I didn't know there was an exact name for the technique. I have been, however, researching said technique much. It seems it can be rather frightening during the period in which you are paralyzed. Some report figures even being seen and hearing demonic like voices. I'm not sure if I should go through with it now. Is there any way to lessen these effects when paralyzed?
