Thread: SP!

Yeah man, you were too close! That sucks you went to sleep, you were almost there! Next time, dont give up on it until you get it; you'll be glad you didnt.
I know this doesnt sound very helpful, but you should always use your mind as a back-up anchor (its my primary anchor, so its fairly reliable).

Damn, why is this so easy for you? and yeah, good luck next time. hope you'll make it!
how the f*** do you keep your conciousness??? ^^

Wow! That was so close!

My problem is staying still for a long enough period of time for SP to kick in .
I know thats so weak minded of me, i end up just getting distracted, lol. I've tried 'self-hypnosis', its far easier to stay still, but i still can't stay still for long enough !

5triker, how long can you stay still for? What I usually do is imagine that liquid cement is being pored over me for the first 2 minutes or so that I lie in bed. After that, I just clear my mind and focus on my anchor. It works pretty well.

About 10 minutes. Yea, the 'self hypnosis' is similar; 1st exhale, toes feeling relaxed, 2nd exhale toes beginning to stiffen, 3nd exhale toes going numb, 4th exhale toes completely numb, 5th exhale toes completely relaxed and numb. I do this all up the body, then begin trying to clear my mind...

I just had a very odd LD this morning, ill not go into the details. The odd bit was that i was woken up from the LD by, what i thought was, a slamming door outside my dream. I thought this because it was so clear and loud but sounded far away, and it woke me up (there was no reason in my LD that a slamming door noise would happen) . However i later found out that none of my family were up at that time, and none of them heard a door slamming. Does anyone have an explanation for this?

Also, i woke up slowly when the door slammed, and i stayed still, keeping my eyes shut. However i soon realized that i couldn't move my body, it was completely numb. Can SP happen after a dream, and you wake up with it? I would have continued with 'SP' and tried to WILD however my alarm was about to go off and i had to go to college, DAM!!! .

Oh yeah, SP can definitely happen after a dream/when you wake up. In fact, that's how most people experience it and how I experienced it the majority of the time (besides WILDing, of course). And the slamming door, Id say that it had to from auditory hallucinations from the SP knowing that your family was not up and they didnt hear the door.
