Thanks! I've never had much success with MILD myself. I don't usually have much success with WILDing either, but every now and then it'll happen. I end up in sleep paralysis sometimes as much as once a week depending on stress levels and other factors that I'm not sure of. It usually spikes when I get back into LDing for some reason. Probably because of all the interruptions in my sleep schedule. It can be... torture sometimes. Vibrations so intense that it borders on pain, entities attacking me with almost no means of defending myself, creepy figures looming over my bed... Even so, I kind of have a love/hate relationship with SP. Even the bad episodes give me a cool story to tell, and there are some instances that are actually quite pleasant. So I wouldn't ever give it up (not that I have a choice in the matter), despite how terrifying it can be sometimes.
There is a cure for sleep paralysis, Well known to shrinks and AP'ers.. At any time you don't like it just suck in a quick breath and it will be instantly gone.. That's the reason we can be startled awake and jump right out of bed, When were startled we usually suck in a quick breath.. Of course all your sleep prep and any chance for a lucid dream are also gone with it......
Just saying ...
