I really can't move lol. I can't move anything, and the only thing that can move are my eyelids which can only open halfway. There are no HH or vibrations (at least that I notice). It it just me being unable to move. I trust through your years of LDing that you have experience this before. I used to be so scared when I was young because I couldn't move my limbs no matter how hard I tried. The weird thing is, I sometimes wake up (what I'm assuming is the beginning or end) during a REM cycle and I can "trigger" the SP when I am trying to go back to sleep. I can't explain the feeling (typical LDer and his/her experience), but it's like I can tell when the shift is happening and when the paralyzation starts.
Some are able to use SP to have OBE. I don't have experience with that, so can't help you with that, sorry.
I have had an OBE once and it was awesome to say the least. However, I want to just have a normal LD although I really don't care if I do have an OBE. Successful lucidity is successful.
You can either break it by changing your breathing pattern and trying to wiggle ends of your toes and fingers to let your body know, that you are awake.
Or, you can go back to sleep and try again when you wake up.
Weird thing is, that's how I usually break out of it AND how I try to enter the lucid dream. I either wiggle my toes or try to get my body to move back and forth. Eventually, my eyes close, I re-open them, and I can move again.
Going back to sleep is the best method although I get mad when that happens.
What I would do is to stay calm and try to see if I get any vibrations or any other HH, just because I'm familiar with that and I know that LD is not far from that moment. Or try to see yourself standing in a kitchen, by the door or any other familiar place that's away from your bed, maybe adding some commands "Now, I'm out of my body" and "to the door..." to see, if you can get an OBE. If you interested in OBE, check out some OBE websites about exiting during SP. Good luck
I've learned how to calm down during an SP attack so I got that down. The vibrations and other HH is the next step as my mind refuses to let me experience it. I'll try visualization again and hopefully I will have a clear enough mind to try it first.
Thanks for all the help. Maybe I'll try to go the OBE route if I have the paralysis episode again.
