Crazy Sleep Sleep Paralysis Exp..

[lucentenigma]

I was up late last night reading articles on LD'ing. I was also reading about Hypnagogic Imagery and Sleep Paralysis. Well, the words start blurring on my monitor, I am reading the same sentences over and over. So I turn my computer off and lay down, trying to MILD. I do some reality checks. I don't remember much other then my eyes popping open (or it seemed like they were) and then the most wicked noise filled my ears, it sounded like being in a hurricane before it really picks up, or hanging your head out a car window going 70mph down the road. I actually thought and FELT like I was getting blown off my bed. Needless to say I was scared so I yelled, STOP!!!!. Everything stopped that second. The whole expereince was over and I feel back asleep.

Hypnawhatever sound, my man. You shouldn't have chickened out.

sounds like sleep paralysis. the first few times it can be pretty jarring, but once you know what to expect it's a lot of fun.

congrats looks like you went through it longer than I did . I wussed out when I started twitching and fireworks were going off under my eyelids (like small particles of light spreading out) I really wasn't expecting it though as I didn't read up on any articles and my thoughts were pretty sluggish at the time. Realizing it was SP didn't exactly pop in to my mind at first. good luck in the future

I've had a few dreams where I've had to shout for help or say stop. They are usually when either going to sleep (when you kind of just slip into your mind) or on waking up. The One time I shouted no when I was laying in bed, and waking up and had that semipresent, sunken senses feeling and saw the most vile of demons crawling down my window torwards me looking straight at me. It had the face of death. I put my hand out and aggressively shouted no then suddenly it disappeared. Another time I told the ceiling to stop falling. I could feel my self waking up and could see, the ceiling was really high and stretched out but coming back into protoportion which made it appear to be falling down. I ordered it to stop at it did. A couple of times when I was paralysed I've tried to scream help someone wake me up but I don't think anything actually comes out. I find these experiences strangely pleasurable. Also sometimes when I'm falling to sleep and fall straight into a dream, I'll be thinking and imagining to entertain my mind, and some point there will be a transition from vocalisation in my head to my ears. Usually though I it's like I fall into my thoughts and they are made of loads of voices a bit like zooming in, it's like suddenly you are in a crowd somewhere (usually I am if I go straight into a dream).

sleep paralysis fun? are you sure? O__o I have heard of OBEs being fun, but sleep paralysis? You sure you really want to induce one? In sleep paralysis you can't move. You can't move your body. And you can't move your dream body either. You THINK your eyes are open, but really aren't open physically. You see your room, your bed, and can even tell what position you are sleeping in the paralysis - mine have never been wrong. Its a freaky experience. Orakio you like it? o.o All though you can see your room, you know youre not trully awake, not yet. Sometimes I see my family walking past the room, not sure if its really happening or not. Sometimes I hear the TV on in the living room, but is that the dream or reality? I can't move, I try to. Once I tried and tried and tried and tried so haaaard to move my hands, instead I saw a different set of hands move in front of me - ghostly hands. My dream hands? It was like my spirit started to seperate from my body. But whats so bad about the surreal experience? Just wait till the other prescence comes. One time it sat on my bed, its face was dark and scewed. It spoke lightly to me then started to tug at my legs, it was uncomfortable and I wanted it to stop. But I had no power to stop it. Once it was next to me. It pushed my head with its hand so that I couldnt see it. Then it pushed its hands hard on my chest, since im facing the other way - I still cant see it. But I felt the pressure of fingers and it felt like my lungs would burst. Normally it takes a sound to wake me up, my mom, my cat - something. Classic paralysis. But when I do wake up I feel very weak, dizzy and its hard to stay awake or even stand up. But lucentenigma, it almost sounds more like you were about to have an OBE!

Are you kidding?! SP is the coolest, especially when your whole body vibrates, and you end up in a WILD. It is true that in SP you cannot move, but after a while, you might be able to start moving your dream arms. Sometimes I fall into SP in class, and I cannot move. In fact, one time, they asked me to show the stamp on my hand I had (in real time, but I was still in the trans state), and I lifted my hand as much as I could, but there was no stamp (my hand was different). I was dreaming, so I got up out of my seat, checked the clock, and listened to the teacher just for fun. So as you can see, SP can be quite fun, if you allow it to be!

When i have SP im in my bed and i can't open my eyes. I then know that to my horror i am stuck and there is a monster breathing near me and as my back is turned (good at least i don't know the monsters face)and im Paralyized(bad because i can't do anything) i get eaten. Now if you think thats a good thing and it happens at least once or twice a month and has every snice i was 4 which like happened 7 times a week and has now spanned out a bit(much to my joy) i learn to...get used to the mental pain that it does to me. Lucky for me i'm used to it but it still freeks me out that i have no control over my body. Most of the time i say "WHY" or some time i say to the monster...DIE so i have a kinda of hate towards monsters in my dreams. In conclusion try working that out if you had it for a long amount of time and you think SP is a good thing.

I love my SP experiences, they are just so unusual and cool. Mine are often painful, in my last WILD, I felt like my body was rotating on a central point, the central point was a spear in the base of my spine. Even with the pain, I still think it feels cool.
