Thread: Problems geting SP... Seems almost like I black out?

So I seem to be having problems getting any kind of SP. Either that or I'm getting it and just not realizing it which I doubt highly. It seems that when I do get comfortable and relax. After about, maybe... 20min "sometimes longer" I seem to get what I call a black out. ("It's probably not but only my mind shifting.") They usually happen without me realizing it until they are over. During it, it's like, well I stop hearing things completely, I don't really feel anything, and I can't recall any thoughts while I am in it.

I usually can tell when it happens. I'll listen to binaural beats with earplugs, and wear my industrial strength ear muffs. I'll notice the sound kicks out were I stop hearing it for about, maybe a little less than a second. Just enough for me to notice it and them, bam, I seem to pop back to the point were I can hear stuff.

Sometimes I end up getting caught up in a dream by accident when it happens, then when I come out of it, I'll accidentally move as I was in the dream. Which ruins it for the most part.

I'll include what happened last night in detail for people who love details ^_^

First off, my bedroom is dark and silent. Except for a cat in my upstairs who keeps meowing. So I wear my ear muffs and ear plugs. I tried my binaural beats again. Which usually seem to help. I then laid down. I sat there for well a good hour and a half. Within the first 15 min, I was just relaxing. Slowly counting down with each breath, and trying to let my mind wander but not too far. After that I started to visualize dream scenarios, to let my mind, get my mind, off of what I was trying to do. I do this so my body can relax naturally without my mind worrying about it.

I remember having one blackout once, and a feeling afterworlds of my head.... almost spinning xD But then I slipped into a dream state but woke up about a half hour later. Then tried it for a little longer, and once again, fell asleep for the rest of my trials that night. -_-

Oh well anything is progress. I just was interested in knowing if theres something I do wrong at all. Or what these could be. I am very interested in any input. Anything can help. I'll probably be trying again tonight, and tomorrow night, and every night from here on out. I am very determined for this to work eventually.

Also just a side note, feel free to ask questions.
