First Time I Entered Sleep Paralysis - AMAZING

I woke up at 5:00 this morning and went on DV's for about 15 minutes, reading different WILD techniques. I laid back in my bed and decided on breathing and counting. I would breathe in, out, 1, in, out, 2, and so on. I kept losing track and losing focus but would keep counting numbers none the less. After what I think was 100, I dozed off. Out of nowhere, BAM. My body goes insane and I feel intense, very fast vibrations of electricity. It's hard to describe. My heart was POUNDING and it was hard to breathe. My whole body feels very tense and I was extremely excited. My eyes felt like they were fluttering. The bed and lower half of my body felt like it was twisting and turning. I loved it, it's definitely not scary, you feel accomplished.

It only lasted for a minute before it faded away and I was laying there normally again. I tried to roll out of bed into a dream, but I was awake. My quick reality check failed. I laid there for another 20 minutes until i had to get up for school.


Any tips on how I can go farther?

i was so pumped to get into SP because a WILD felt like a technique that i would be able to do
but after reading the old hag stories i've been getting paranoid but this kinda reassures me that it'll be okay ! :)

Yeah I was worried about all that last year, but it's an amazing experience. Very few people ever see frightening imagery, most of the time it's just colors and a big acid trip.
:)

That happens to me every frickin' time. And worse, my body gets REALLY REALLY hot when I get to SP. Funny thing is I have no audio hallucinations and I see very little HI :(
The only sleep paralysis I had that my heart didn't go insane was when I went to sleep listening to an induction mp3 and it woke me up in the middle of the night. I felt my body go numb and tingle all over and then I fell asleep haha :)

My tip is: well, the only time SP didn't make my heart race was when I woke up but didn't move after waking up, so I suggest you put an alarm that stops by itself and once you wake up lay still, count to 100 and do an RC, or just watch HI and transition to a dream (however that's done :D)

well i got more confident so i tried one last night and it was very unsucessful
but i tried this afternoon and i actually saw HI this time, light blue lights and heard a bit of popping in my ears but never reached SP
i don't think i was tired enough, so i'm going to try again tonight using WBTB :)

I tried sleep paralysis, and after a long time of lying still, my heart began to pound and I felt very stiff and felt great pressure on my legs. It was exciting, but I was scared that something frightening would happen so I stopped it. This is the second time I've stopped sleep paralysis because of fear! But I'll be brave enough one day. And keep trying, I know it'll work for you eventually! At least you're not afraid of it!

i was afraid too but i was told few people have frightening hallucinations
you know what makes it so scary ? the fact that all you ever hear about it , is how scary it is !
it is what you make it, but think about it
your in the same bed, and you're still walking and dreaming today
things don't randomly grab you in the night ! we just fear the unknown,
so the only way to overcome that fear is to face it
i think you'll find it more rewarding then harmful/scary :)

Everyone, I'm trying a new technique tonight that has had 100% success with a couple people so far. Click here:

The first and only time I got SP was when I was trying to wild but I feel asleep, had a quick dream but woke up and hit sp instantly. So basically it was almost a DEILD. But sp was awsome. I was hearing some lady screaming outside my door and my sister screaming "go get him." I liked it because it meant I was getting close but then I think I screwed up because I listened to the yelling to much.

What happened to that topic? Why is it gone now? :S

Thats what I'd like to know too.

I honestly don't know. I can't get to it either.

Anyways, the technique I linked gave me no success at all. Failed twice. Gonna try to WILD again tonight!

was that the technique where you tape the cardboard to your wrist lol ? If it is then all the posts I made on it are gone and so is the thread. Im gonna try the "no technique" tonight where you use confidence to have a lucid dream

Not only that, but the dude who created the thread got banned :P
My guess would be he made up that theory and most dudes who posted saying they had succes were registered under the same IP... or it's all a big conspiracy or something :D

I honestly think that whole thing was a joke... haha. To think I believed it. SILLY ME.

I did too haha :)
It was the easy way out though, to just put a piece of cardboard in your wrist and have a lucid dream? How awesome would that be?

Oh, vmenge... you and I are the same :) I also usually get very hot when I'm in SP, and very little in the way of any kind of hallucinations. So, what I do, is when I do my breathing technique, I imagine that with each exhale, I'm sinking further into the couch. The further I sink and relax, the better. I try to do some 3rd eye focusing too (it's the spot on your forehead between your two eyes... but just lightly above it, if that makes any sense)...

From there, I usually start to feel vibrations at the base of my neck and head. Now... here's where I have been tripping up lately. I know I'm WILDing too early in the night, because I often pass out at this point :P (3 hours, I don't recommend it!! The reason was because I was trying to beat the sunlight though, because bedtime is usually around 2am for me - I work late).

Alternatively, I wimp out and move, because SP gets pretty uncomfortable, at times :( I need to man up :D

So, here's what I intend to do... Not wimp out or pass out, first off :D But secondly, try to induce either more frequent, or longer SP vibrations. If I get them lasting a really long time, I'll just sit up and interrupt them. Why? Because the chances are pretty strong that I'm actually already dreaming at this point :)

Alternatively, if they are still short, then wait for about 3 waves to pass, then get up.

The point is, that I'm fairly positive that when I transition, the start of my WILDs see me laying on the couch, exactly where I left the waking world. I got this idea from a buddy of mine whose WILDs act exactly this way.

Too good to be true.

Now that I think about it, his original post made no sense, he put some stupid "visualization" picture that was just a hypnotic spiral. Goes to show how bad we all wanna get Lucid though!

Damn, now I feel dumb for trying it hahah. Yea I was wondering how the hell a peice of cardboard on your wrist can do anything. why would someone make that up. OH and I think he made a thread before saying that if you look at that picture he posted , then you'll get a lucid dream. But that thread got deleted to.

Going to try some 3rd eye focusing (never heard about that before) and the sinking further into the couch thingy (thanks! :))

Usually my problem when WILDing is going back to sleep when I WBTB :(
I have fixed this problem by using a timer from Lucidology (so I don't have to get up from bed), but I've been falling back asleep every single time or moving as soon as I wake up (after I move I can't get back to sleep for some god forsaken reason).
Not moving used to be a huge problem for me (I tried WILDing tons of times haha) but that was because I used to count numbers and got really really bored, now I just let my thoughts flow (though sometimes they tend to get frenetic and I think that hurts my attempts), yesterday I spent a little more than 1 hour laying in my bed trying to WILD to no avail (still very relaxing though).
Lately I've been having something I thought was SP but now I'm not so sure (this is only when I try WILDing before I go to sleep or on afternoon naps). After a while not moving my whole body gets numb and I feel tingling all over when I try to move (which also results in twitching), and I just sort of freeze in this state. If I make an effort I can move any limbs and feel the tingle go in an uncomfortable way, but it's downright weird I think. Since during the second time this happened my parents talked to me and I opened my eyes, I'm thinking this is something else but not SP :uhm:

Well looking at a picture at getting lucid does seem pretty moronic, but it would be incredibly awesome, and easy, and to good to be true :(

Well I can gladly say, I had my first ever Lucid Dream last night. It was a DILD, and I wasn't fully lucid at all. But it still counts!

I was wondering what happened to that cardboard topic as well. If it was a conspiracy, why? The guy didn't link to anything he could profit from. Perhaps he just wanted to mess with us?

Awesome ;) Gratz on your first LD. And congratz on reaching SP! I've been attempting WILD for the past few months now, but have failed each attempt. I haven't even reached SP yet.

Whenever i try to wild, i get some flashing lights, like its really bright outside and its hitting my eyes. I know its not real so i keep going. Then i keep getting whispers in my ear from my mom of really stupid sounding things. Something like,"Hey, i'm here." It annoys me since i can't do anything after that. Its the worlds loudest whisper.

Hey, BrettWp: Can you describe the technique you used and what you did to achieve it in greater detail?

yea, i got there once, i saw pictures flying by. it was epic, but i flipped out because i was so happy then woke up then i was like "awww $@&#(@~!@"
