The trouble I have is that I don't know what full Sleep Paralysis is like as I've never got fully there before. I always get to the point where my body goes numb but I don't know how to get further. I get a very heavy feeling on different parts of my body and then my heart rate increases and I can feel the tension in my chest which makes me think about my body lying in my bed. I also get distracted by cars driving past and the occasional aeroplane flying overhead.
I know the problem of getting into SP is me getting distracted by the physical world but even if I didn't, how would I know when I am fully in SP and ready to get into a dream somehow? I constantly think about LDing while I'm lying there and sometimes get these images that just come to me but I never seem to get these visual or audio hallucinations. Just the heavy feeling and sometimes kind of shockwaves going through my body. Oh and sometimes a feeling that I'm sinking into my bed. I try to let these ideas take me but it doesn't seem to work... Any advice?
