Thread: SP

hey all... have just started looking into LD's..., and was wondering, is SP generally considered an unpleasant experience? a lot of people talk about the terror associated with SP and i was just wondering if that happens for everyone...

No, it doesn't happen for everyone. From what I've seen SP is usually not a negative experience for those who seek it out. They'll just be paralyzed and feel some strange (not necessarily unpleasant) sensations with no fear or hallucinations or anything.

I have felt SP quite a few times now, the first couple of times it seemed unpleasant but that changed and now I actually quite enjoy SP. I would not call it a negative experience from what I have felt, nor would I associate SP with terror.

Like the post above says, not everybody experiences the same thing though, however there is nothing to be scared of, this have a bring it on attitude and remember that nothing can happen

It happens every single night, just now your conscious while it is happening.

Believe me... you shouldn't be afraid It's not that bad. When I had my 1st SP I just heard a beeping/buzz noise and couldn't move... my thoughts were "OMG why can't I move? Oooo nice feeling... where is that sound coming from?". I didn't opened my eyes because I couldn't so I can't tell if I am hallucinating in a SP... to be honest SPs are kinda cool to experience! So don't be afraid... I was afraid too ( a lot ) but now I want more!!!

i just now had experienced my first sp. it scared hell out of me but i didnt get any hallucinations. the first couple times it may be scary just because you cant move.

I have heard some people say SP can feel like your blanket turns to lead, which is interesting because i used to have what i thought were nightmares a hell of a lot when i was a kid where that happened, and i became paralized. Although then i had nothing to compare it to and experienced it as frightening, if only i knew then what i know now.

I think thats part of the reason i lost the ability, i had flying dreams when i was a kid where i knew it was a dream, and when having nightmares i would also know it was a dream, yet did not know about dream control.
