No worries, I've done that a million times. Often I'll wake up around 3 in the morning, prepare to do it, then forget and fall asleep because I am too tired. :D
yea, it almost surprises me that it doesn't happen more often.
I remember doing this about a month or so ago and this actually worked for a while. I did exactly as you said except i didn't do the eye thing. But i squeezed my body parts after relaxing and i didn't even want to move, i had a few urges to scratch my itching but i didn't even want to move. I'm going to try this again tonight to see if i enter a dream and become lucid, i fell asleep but i don't remember dreaming. This is a good technique.
This is how I had my first lucid.
Before even reading this "guide."
That night I had given up, and turned over.
I immediatly went into SP
I've tried to LD since then but I always just fell asleep on my back.
So last night, I "gave up" again and turned over, and immediatly went into SP.
This technique definetly works for me. (:
I shall try this again tonight.
Very nice tech! I have a friend who will like this
Awesome! It seems to be one of those techniques that works wonders for some people and not at all for others. Just remember everyone, if it doesn't work for you, don't get discouraged and don't be afraid to experiment. Adding your own personal alterations/etc. to the many techniques here on Dreamviews may help you "strike gold." Glad it is working for some of you :D!!!Quote:

Ri,
Great technique, i use something like this but i basically flex every boy part at once. Nice detailed discription though
This is hilarious...
I've only had two lucids, but every time I did I changed positions RIGHT before I entered sleep paralysis and began lucid dreaming.
I never made the connection 'til I read this :D
Can't wait to try it out tonight!
I'm pretty sure that I went into SP for the first time using this technique.. until somebody knocked on my door and fully woke me up. I was hearing guttural noises and a tapping on wood kind of sound.. I'm not completely sure if that was SP.
I only realize I've had SP after I get it. I hear people talk to me sometimes during SP, but I only realize I was in SP after they stop talking. Funny.
Imma try this tonight, sounds great.. would be my first real WILD tho, it sounds really fucking easy to read your favourite book then flex all body parts, then proceeding to roll over every 10'th minute untill your in sleep paralysis.
It took me a while to realize what you meant by "SP"
I get it now though; 'Sleep Paralysis'
I am going to go try this. I've never experienced sleep paralysis, so I'm thinking I will tell my body to sleep differently this time.
I may not be able to go lucid, but I have an amazing skill in communicating with my body.
Such as knowing exactly how much food it needs for what task... things to that effect.
Hopefully this will work to my benefit.
For relaxation i generally try to listen to music, it almost always works. I'll try this method today and see what i can get out of it. If i just hit SP i'll be happy all over already :banana:
ok, I'm sure this method is going to work
why?
generally, when I try to WILD, I don't even move a little, then I'm like 1 hour awake with nothing happening, so, what I do is to roll over...and always fall asleep(and I'm sure that here is when the SP happen)
So, I'm going to try it, I'm sure it will work.
I calculated that 9 minutes = 100 slow(not extremely slow) but calm breaths.
thanks Yoshi!
bye!
Thank you for the rough estimate; last night I found myself thinking too much on how much time has passed.Quote:

Once again; thank you!
So I plan on using this technique tonight, along with reverse blinking. Any other tips for getting that LD? I've never had one before and was hoping to score on before the new year. Thanks. =)
Tried, but too tired and fell asleep, anyways, I changed position 3 times but didn't reach anything, I wonder why...
KingYoshi, have you ever used this in a Nap?
Used this technique last night and i reached SP after turning one time. However i didnt experience HI or anything like that. Gonna try again tonight though.
I have tried this technique. It didnt work for me :( Every time i try my eyes twitch or somthing stupid like that happens. Any suggestions on how to help that? Then maybe this would work for me.
I had this problem where I would keep opening my eyes, just a crack. I got over it by concentrating on breathing and not what my eyes were doing. Maybe you could try that?Quote:

I'm so glad my mum isn't that much of a bitch.Quote:

I'm just given an alarm clock and left to manage my time on my own, like anyone should be able to.
