Sometimes I like that I can hear my breaths because I just count my breaths to keep my mind off other things. Just think about it, It's not like you are going to forget how to breath so as long as you know you're fine, you're fine. |

So last night i was in bed doing affermations in my head that i was going to have a lucid dream. After a while i felt my self start to drift and i think fell asleep for a time or atleast lost presence of mind, but it felt like only a fraction of a second and when i regained conciousness, it felt like i was tilted back and into my bed on a small angle and it felt like someone was sitting on my chest and it was difficult to breath, i tried to remain calm and go with it and i was able to for a while, but it was taking a lot of concious effort to keep taking in air, eventually i could hear my lungs taking the air in very loud in my ears, and i could hear how i was struggling to draw breath and i panicked and snapped into conciousness and sat in bed. Are there any suggestions on how i can keep myself calm, or what measures i can take to prepare for this in the future? |

I am here to Incept your mind...
I love when people tell me it felt like someone was sitting on their chest. Check out the etymology of the word nightmare. |

never purposly, but i have experienced sleep paralysis. probably 8-10 times total in my life. i remember it at a very young age, and being absolutely terrified. ive never experienced the hallucinations that go along with it however. i just remember a span of maybe 5 or 10 seconds in which im completly awake, but i cannot move. its as if im being sat on and having my eyes forced shut. it happened for me last maybe a lil over a year ago. it'd be pretty cool to embrace it and enjoy the effects..ill have to research more. |

The key is to allow it to happen. |

Sorry if it came across that way, it was just a stream of consciousness, and i admit upon re-reading it, i could have worded it much better. It was meant as a serious question i was looking for your feed back, and would still appreciated it if you'll still give it. |

No I'm sorry I don't have much to add. Truth of the matter is I haven't experienced true, terrible, nightmareish sleep paralysis. I've only ever induced a mild sleep paralysis while I was attempting to WILD. I just love the etymology of the word Nightmare and thought that, given you'd said it felt like someone was sitting on your chest, you might get a kick out of it as well. |
