Thread: One question

When i just start to feel sleepy and i close my eyes i often see scary visualizations. Does it mean that i am starting to enter sleep paralysis?

Hey yer your just bout to enter SP but dont worry nothing can hurt you when you see them just think about something peacefull that should help

Wht you are experincing is called hypnogogic images. Just focus on those and you could enter a lucid dream

No, this is probably not sleep paralysis. This sounds like hypnagogic imagery, which typically happens in the first stage of sleep as you are drifting off.

How strong are the images? If you focus on them, do they stay? Are you paralyzed? Do you FEEL scared or are you just scared as a result of seeing the images? It's hard for another to determine with so little info.

Doubtfully, sleep paralysis often comes way after hypnogogic hallucinations.

Thanks a lot guys I try to ignore that scary stuff,i keep telling to myself that its only my imagination and usually these images disappear soon. And when i start to see them i usually fall a sleep soon. Yes, i am realy scared. When i saw them for the first time i was afraid to shut my eyes again At the first its look like seperate color, but later images become like real and it looks like its comming closer and closer. When it happens i am not paralyzed. I just feel heavy.

Yup, definitely HH then. When it happens just keep reminding yourself what it is, try to think 'happy thoughts' too
