Sleep Paralysis? :S

Damn it! I'm so angry.

I'm not trying to have a WILD, actually I'm only in the step of improving dream recall, so I didn't actually induce the SP.

Last night I slept at 10:00 and I woke up from a non-lucid dream (about lucid dreaming) at 3:00 or something like that.

After waking up I turned my alarm off because the alarm was going to ring at like 1 hour (I use it only to wake up after dreams)

So all sleepy I was falling asleep, (on my back, which I never do but I was all sleepy) and out of nowhere, my arms and hands started to vibrate, like extremely but without pain. Also I heard the vibrations in my ears in synchronisation of what I felt in my arms, and I couldn't move.

So I said WTF, and moved my finger (ARGH!) to stop it, and it immediately stopped.

After that I said Sleep Paralysis?... I was like scared to sleep again and have it, and I remember I even said to myself "I am not going to try to LD again" (Stupid me), and finally sleeped.

When I woke up in the morning, I remembered it and was like ...WOW! Sleep paralysis is so fun..like: When I got out from SP I was all scared and when I wake up in the morning I'm all happy because of my SP experience


I was like "Why the !@#$ did I stop it" and "Why did I even think of not trying to LD again"

That was like pre-SP right? or just SP without hallucinations?

If you could move, it was probably a hypnagogic hallucination, which usually precede SP.

I couldn't move...I don't know why I was like trying to move and moved a finger and *bang* it all stopped.

I don't remember it 100%, it's like those times where you wake up and do something and the next day you barely remember it...Maybe I could move..

Look:: From wikipedia: on the article "Hypnagogia"

The paralysis itself is frequently accompanied by additional phenomena. Typical examples include a feeling of being crushed or suffocated, electric ‘tingles’ or ‘vibrations’, imagined speech and other noises, the imagined presence of a visible or invisible entity, and sometimes intense emotion: fear or euphoria and orgasmic feelings.

So I just answered the question myself :D Anyways...still happy and mad at the same time, it was a cool experience. (At least right now, not the time when I was experiencing it)

Accidental post. Please delete.

Well when its in the moment I'm terrified. But during the day I muster up all this courage to go all the way, but when you're doing it, its much different from just saying you're going to do it. I still haven't fully experienced a WILD. Still trying though. After a week of attempts you get used to it.:)

I read online that when you feel that vibrating, you're already in sleep paralysis, but might not know it. Don't try to move while vibrating, when you stop vibrating or are barely vibrating, try opening your mouth/moving your eyes, then try and get up.

Chances are you'll be having an OEB or LD.

But I'm not sure if this is true or not, will be attempting tonight after my 3rd time waking up from attempted LD's.

I'll report back :D

I wasn't even trying to WILD..

I think SP wouldn't be scary if the nights wouldn't be dark...with daylight you wouldn't be scared..

Sometimes I wake up from dreams, I could just apply the technique that I accidentally made if SP wouldn't scare me...DAMN YOU DARKNESS!! Why the dark is so scary lolz?

I mean, the vibrations were like meh, but what I'm scared of is that I will see hallucinations of real images if I try it.

EDIT: With hallucinations of images I mean scary things ..haha

If you're scared of hallucinations.. then how can you enjoy lucid dreaming? o.o..

Lol I mean like scary ones... If I hallucinated good things, of course I would be happy.

BTW you say "OBE or LD"...hmm..Can you have a OBE inducing a Sleep Paralysis, or well, like the one I had, accidentally?...

I don't really want to explore that realm of OBE's, heard many things about possession, etc. Even though I don't really believe in that stuff, I would prefer to stay with LD's, so tell me..With SP's you can get accidental OBE's instead of LD's?
