Wow I was such a pussy XD.
Anyways, I've been doing WILD like 3 times since then, and the farthest i've gotten is to vibrations, and a few weird sounds, and I could almost imagine a dream scene. Pretty cool stuff.
I get pretty strong vibrations that usually feel like they start lower down my body and come up my spine to my head.
Right when I can feel the vibration starts I can feel my body sort of relax involuntarily and I start hearing sounds like crinkling plastic wrap or static which feels really close to my ear.
This actually happens to me a lot without even really having to try, especially if I sleep in really late. It seems like the longer I sleep the more likely I'll feel SP coming on if I try to fall right back asleep upon waking up.
If I concentrate on trying to lucid dream I usually start to have auditory hallucinations, usually the sound of someone (or a group of people) whispering. It starts out unintelligible but they always start talking about whatever happens to pop into my head. I can usually influence what it sounds like they are saying.
A few times I concentrated on trying to hear music instead and that seemed to work pretty well. I've also had the sensation that someone was in the room or there were several people moving around my bed. I used to get the sensation of someone sitting on my chest, usually a woman and it always a sort of sinister feeling to it, like she's trying to keep me down for some reason.
Sometimes before a dream starts I can "move" my arms around in I guess my "dream body". I can see that my body isn't moving but I feel like I'm moving around.
Lately I've been focusing on having visual hallucinations. It's not something I ever noticed before, probably because the secondI started seeing something it just felt like I moved into a dream. But several times over the past week or so, if I focus on the emptyness of the dark as if it's something that I'm looking at, I'll start to see something fade into view but just in part of my field of vison. Almost like I'm looking through a break in really dar, black clouds. I can usually manipulate this so that whatever I'm thinking about will appear.
For all the SP that I experience I don't have LDs as much as I would think. I guess maybe I just need to make a point to try to have them more regularly. When I do have them, they're extremely vivid and a lot of the time I'll start touching things and looking at stuff up really close to prove to myself that I'm actually awake. So a lot of them are this weird combination of being lucid but not thinking that I'm dreaming.
If I do know that I'm dreaming they tend to not last that long. I always start to become aware of my real body which pulls me out of it.
I LOVE my sleep paralysis.
First I feel all my body go numb, and vibrations through all my body. Then I feel a cold sweat running through my spine. I hear a deep sound, but kinda relaxing. I feel like I enter a different dimension, my body feels very heavy and dragged towards a light, where the sound comes from. I feel like I'm spinning around and then I suddenly start hearing the lyrics of a song I like, and it sounds very realistic. Then, I just stand up in my dream, and the lucid dream starts :).
I don't know if it was really SP, but I usually feel very heavy, and get vibrations. I never seem to hear anything though; I seem to hear more things during HI.
Feels like i'm strapped down to my bed and it's kindof hard to breathe
Just remember that it's natural and you go through it every night. Except when you notice it, you're awake. Yeah, it might seem freaky, but just meditate or pretend to enjoy it. Some SP experiences really are fun.
Mine are either floating out of my body, slithering from side to side, moving at high speeds, feeling jolts of painless electricity, or feeling like a lightbulb just got shattered on my head and I can still hear the ringing sound. :P
SP's a little bit different every time for me actually. Most often I get hit with strong vibrations all at once, like I'm a big tuning fork. A lot of times, I hear rushing, ringing or roaring noises in my ears; sometimes I hallucinate DCs talking to me and/or I start "seeing" my bed or room around me, which is usually when I roll out/get up and the dream begins. Sometimes I don't get the vibrations at all, but I know that I can't move my body (unless I jerk my head which breaks the SP). So I'll wait about 20 seconds and if the vibrations don't hit I just visualize myself standing across the room, and if my vision is too cloudy I'll put my hands on the desk or wall or something. But yeah basically it varies.
intence pressure on my head and it feels like something rips my face off + vision goes all white... and horrificly loud beating noise, violent though fun
For me it starts with certain muscles feeling strange - usually the first sign is my mouth suddenly feeling like it's frowning. Then I have vibrations (intensity varies each time). At some point my whole body feels like it sinks a few inches into the bed - it doesn't feel like someone trying to hold me down, but I feel heavy in a good way - like all my muscles suddenly relaxed. At this point I roll my dream body out of bed and start my LD. Sometimes my legs feel like they're floating and I will just think of the rest of my body floating and I float out of bed to start my LD. A couple times I just took that sinking feeling and imagined sinking through the bed into my dream. It worked, but while sinking through the bed I thought of going to hell and in both cases that's where I ended up. I don't sink through the bed anymore.
My hands feel like they are a thousand pounds.
Does anyone else has this SP where you feel like flying at 2000 MPH in a black corridor?
I've really been trying to get into SP the last week, but I don't think I've gotten fully into SP. I can get a few tingles/ vibs, and it's hard to wiggle my fingers, but I haven't gotten the heaviness and falling feeling :(
I can quite easily experience what I assume to be sleep paralysis. My limbs will slowly become heavier and if I'm in an awkward position it can be incredibly uncomfortable. If I resist the temptations to move and scratch any itches they quickly subside and I'll then feel sudden vibrating rushes moving from my feet to my head. After this, I feel intense pressure in my head - eyes roll upwards and begin to twitch, eyelids shut very tightly and the same happens to my lips.
At this point I still feel fully conscious though but I have yet to make it directly into a dream whilst still conscious. I'm surprised that some people's SP is fun or relaxing, mine is uncomfortable and unpleasant, especially the involuntary pressure in my head..
I've only experienced SP once, during a (ultimately unsuccessful) WILD attempt, but I found it to be quite a nice experience while it lasted.
I sometimes feel something grabbing me, but most of the time I go into SP it's just a sudden short vibration and a bit of HI.
Interestingly, I have very vivid SP, but still find myself able to wake up after SP if necessary. Also, I don't feel as much VIBRATING as I feel total vertigo, like I am falling. It's scary but livable.
I get the "water-bed" effect. Feels like my body is floating on top of water, with little waves. Then the waves get stronger and it feels like my limbs move independently from one another, as if they were detached.
I also get this cool, falling and spinning sensation, where my body falls while spinning clockwise around an axis that would be about my navel.
One thing to add. I did some hypnosis mp3s a few weeks ago, and It felt kind of like a SP feeling. It felt like i was being rotated 45 degrees back and forth. It was weird, and kind of messed up the hypnosis because I was like holly crap, that is sp, and It broke the hypnosis. I am not sure If I was feeling it because of the SP of Hypnosis though.
I experienced SP once since i started up with WILD and it felt like a cold liquide taking over my foot and my hand how about you ?
I was watching TV on my couch very late at night, and i experienced what i thought was a 'dizzy spell' (where darkness blinds your vision) except my legs and arms were shaking uncontrolably and i felt as if something were trying to posses me. I'm not sure how long it lasted, i occasionally got glimpses of my room and my TV, and saw that my legs and arms were shaking.
Perhaps i was experiencing Sleep Paralysis? The shaking.. the evil spirit presence. Except i was sitting up on the edge of my couch when this happened. And i wasn't sleeping. Any thoughts or comments?
Thought about making a new thread, but I saw this one. My SP (I'm pretty sure it is SP, but I haven't tried moving) feels like my arms and hands are twitching. LIke they're having involuntary spasms. They're often near my chest, also this morning I experienced some heavy twitching in my neck.
This is when I'm trying to DEILD, but when I've had a SP from woken up, I've had my GF push my head down towards the pillow, choking me, while screaming in my ear.
Only had it once a few years ago, (Sorry for the story but its kinda like a wild in a since) I took a nap and wake up with my eyelids shut and feeling like my hands and legs were chained up when my arms where by my side (My dream body I guess) It didn't scare me that much at the time, Woke up a few seconds after anyway.
