      Fighting Sleep Paralysis

      While dreaming last night, I became aware of the paralysis of my actual body. In the dream, I started shaking my hands vigorously. I could feel the hands of my actual body trying to move along with the dream body. I was fighting against the paralysis and felt an intense prickly vibration in my hands. It felt like the prickles when a limb goes numb from lack of circulation and the blood starts to flow back into it. I guess my body was trying to work against the sleep paralyssi by increasing blood flow to the hands and I could feel them losing their numbness. Pretty cool.

      I've been aware of sleep paralysis many times before, usually in the morning before waking up, I'll try to move and eventually force myself to break out of the paralysis. I've also been aware of the transition into paralysis a few times, which feels pretty indistinguishable from the feeling of getting numbed by novocaine, but without the shot.

      I get the numbness more often than the paralysis. It's kind of cool, i like to poke my face with my hand. I can feel it on my face, but not my hand! Kind of like it's not me touching my face.

      Paralysis, on the other hand, is not something I'm terribly fond of. It doesn't frighten me, because I know what it is, but there isn't really anything good about it. As I have mentioned before on this board, it happens to me more frequently when I sleep in a sitting position.

      I've achieved paralysis about a dozen times when I was younger, and every time I did I had this same menacing dream. I eventually was able to break the paralysis by trying really hard to clack my tongue, and the sound of it woke me up completely. I felt a great sense of victory at overcoming that recurring nightmare. It never came back again. Which was a good thing at the time, but now I can't get into SP anymore, damnit!

      I honestly wish I could get into SP at will. This would prevent me from accidentally shifting a body part or something like that, which would instantly jolt me back to reallity. I have also never experienced SP from waking up from a dream or anything. The closest thing to SP that I can actually get is not being able to feel my body, which, I guess, is just as good as SP.

      Feel lucky tou can even get SP
