Thread: SISP sleep paralysis made easy!

Well, the title of your thread says that it will induce sleep paralysis, not extend it. Maybe that's where I got confused?

Yet again, sorry for the lack of details. Anyways, about the affects that sugar and music have dealing with this. First of all the sugar, it gives you energy to stay in the hallucinating stage for much longer than just plain being tired. It also seems to have the affect of getting you to the perfect energy level for hallucinating(with experimentation of course). Second of all, the music. It drowns out the strange and frightful sounds that sometimes come with this stage. Also it sets the mood of your hallucinations to a generally mellow and content feeling. I believe that one of the reasons that auditory hypnagogic hallucinations are so often frightful is that the empty silence and darkness remind our minds of our fear of the unknown. I hope this clears things up a bit better.

Yes, now I understand your reasoning

Still, I have to ask

Once studies have been conducted we can establish if it is really able to induce lucidity.
