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 ...

May your SP not bother you too much, but equip you with good stories and many successful transitions more!

Thanks!
And yeah, the Hell part is a personal task of mine.

I've tried it, but that seldom works to get me out of SP. I've tried changing my breathing pattern in all different kinds of ways, even holding my breath, but doing so takes ages to pull me out of it and usually makes it worse in the process. Only one thing I've ever tried works consistently. I can usually manage to take control of my right foot and shake it back and forth enough to jar myself awake. This doesn't always work, and it still takes quite a bit of effort, but it's better than any other technique as of yet. Why my foot is the only thing I'm able to move is beyond me.

And speak of the Devil.... After a long nap dream in and out of lucidity several times I got SP for the first time in months, Not the usual lead blanket thing but I started to wake up and forced my eyes open and just barely saw light and closed them part way again and looked for my fingers and finally found long pencil thin crooked dream fingers I could wiggle but I could barely move my hands and said, "Dang Lola, She would mention SP" And managed to hold it over into a short DEILD but not long enough to accomplish much.....

PS: Does that full moon up there mean anything to you, It means "Lucid Time" to me
