I call it the 48 method because I always start It with something involving the number 48 for some reason. It also helps me keep from laughing whenever I have to struggle not to.

Why would you not want to laugh?

Probably to keep concentration while trying to stabilize the dream. You don't want to be laughing while trying to fix your dream.

Do a reality check every time you wake up. Remain calm.

Ok guys i just had a Sleep Paralysis t his morning and i tried some of the concentrating on an object stuff.

I was awake lying in bed awake, when i felt some energy in my chest/stomach it was kind of pulsating. Instinctively i knew this meant i was about to go into Sleep paralysis.

So after a few moments, i let it "take me in".

This time it was quit unusual because as i transitioned into the sleep paralysis i heard thunder, not in real life but in my head. It was amazing in a way. When i heard the thunder my eyes went black and when my vision returned i knew i was in sleep paralysis. Even as i looked around i could tell that my room had changed. It was not kind of digital looking in a way but still looked real. Kind of like Hi Def.

So i was looking around my room, trying to find something to stabilize this and go into a lucid dream.

Since i knew i couldn't move my body or stare at my hands to stabilize this i decided to stare at the cup and focus on that to in a way stabilize it.

As i focused on the cup is started to feel pulsating energy like i felt before i went into sleep paralysis. Except it was coming from my hands/wrist area which were paralyzed.

Also i noticed that i could still hear the radio when i was in SP, i could even listen to what they were talking about which had a calming effect on me.

Anyway the stabilizing method didn't work and i ran out of ideas on what to do since i haven't checked out this thread in a while.

When i ran out of ideas i just decided to wake myself up because it seemed useless to continue.
