      Depends on what time I WILD, if I attempt before sleep it just feels like my heart is beating out of my chest and my ears pop.But If I WILD after sleep or In the morning Its more intense; similar to shaking sideways and someone forcefully pressing down a spining washboard, to simplify that: Vibrations.

      I'm glad someone made a thread of this I have been wondering about other people's experiences.

      SP usually comes suddenly for me, It always starts with my breath suddenly constricting, getting high and tight, and the sensation of my heart beating dangerously fast. I feel a pit of fear in my stomach, but I was prepared for this sensation before it happened and have never let it phase me. I feel waves of vibrations from my head and shoulders that roll down my entire body and exit through my feet. They get more and more intense and until I feel like my entire body is going to shake itself apart into it's basic atoms. If you have ever stood next to a bass at a concert it's the closest I have ever felt in waking. Surprisingly, I find the whole experience extremely pleasurable, and even try to prolong the SP before I WILD.

      I have very very rarely had any visual input at all, but nearly every single time I hear an electrical sound, or rather two over laid, a very high pitch and a very deep pitch. Once I heard distant singing that was like a sirens song to me in that state. Another time I heard my sister screaming for my help and I woke myself up; at the time I didn't even live with her


      The Hag
      Only once have I ever felt The Hag, and it actually did phase me. I was on my stomach in the longest SP I had ever had. Two of my roommates were in the room talking and I hallucinated that I was laying in front of them on their desk they were working at, looking at them and being completely immobile. As they talked I saw the computer screen on the desk reflect every image they brought up in their conversation. I became aware that I felt a kneading feeling on my shoulders with long bony fingers. Suddenly my chest and head began to sink into the wood of the desk as the Hag on my back weighed on me. It felt like my bones were being crushed into the desk, the pressure localized in the two hands as they forced me lower and lower into the resistant material. I kept my fear in check, reminding myself that this is all hallucination, and that I am actually laying perfectly fine, breathing lightly in my bed. That is, until my mouth and nose sank into the wood and I couldn't breathe at all! I was suffocating as my eyes went under too, and all I could see was blackness, I remember seeing last the faces of my two roommates, oblivious to me, as they chatted on. Those two incessant powerful hands mercilessly crushed me down deeper and deeper as I felt pure glee at my demise flow from The Hag on my back. I struggled to breathe or to move any part of my body to break the paralysis, flailing with my mind to make my body obey.

      I was suddenly sitting up in my bed, I did a reality check and I was dreaming. I got over the terror of the encounter almost immediately in the dream, excited to be lucid, but when I woke a few minutes later I felt disturbed.

      I guess my experiences are pretty similar to those of everybody else. Rather than trying to be elegant in my description, I'm going to opt for convenience - hopefully this list will suffice:

      1. The first step in my transition process is quite simple: I roll onto my back, throw my right arm back beyond my bed, and begin to numb over.

      2. Vibrations shake my body, and I sometimes feel as if I'm levitating several inches above my mattress. Arms and legs will feel independently motile, quivering and stretching and flexing their muscles as my back arches and shakes to and fro.

      3. Beset by loud, almost painful rushing noises. These are almost always the most unpleasant part of sleep paralysis for me, because they're so loud as to be frightening.

      4. Auditory hallucinations and hypnagogic visuals spring up at random. I'll see points and flashes of light, and hear voices speaking unintelligible words and holding muttered conversations. Once I reach this point, I can be fairly assured in knowing that I'll soon be lucid.

      5. Enter lucid dream or "wake up".

      I've only experienced it on waking when I separate from my body. In that case, I can only feel the dream body which feels pretty normal, but there is a sense that I'm controlling my limbs with telekinesis at first rather than using muscles. During the separation I get a quick zapping feeling in my head and then I just feel normal. The zapping was scary at first but not now.

      I've had a bunch of different hypnagogic hallucinations but I could still move my body. I'd hear voices, see images or feel vibrations.

      I just get the heavy feeling, numbness, sometimes it feels like my limbs are twisted (last night it felt like my hand was attached to my arm upside-down, lol), and of course the waves of vibrations. I tend to have about 3 waves. The only hypnagogia I get is white noise (audio) and coloured shapes and sometimes an image. (last night's image was that of a baby with its eyes wide open, kinda creepy)
      My transition into a LD is seamless. The vibrations stop, I carefully move a limb and I'm dreaming

      I once heard a radio report on something after waking up, but my radio wasn't on I giggled when I became fully conscious and realised I'd hallucinated a radio report

      My SP feels like i've feels like my whole skeletal body has been frozen in ice. Of course, that's after the numbing of my whole body, which is gradual with each breath.

      Any questions about lucid dreaming? Drop me a PM here!

      I feel as if my body is flying through the air in random directions and my head vibrates violently.

      Well my SP is non-eventful and quick. I'll feel a very uncomfortable tension starting in my head spreading to my body and I'll notice my 'limbs' sink into the bed and I sometimes feel as if I am levitating slightly. I will hear a roaring or high pitched ring and sometimes familiar voices talking casually. I will rarely see anything more than colors and lights but once I get through SP my WILDS are almost always very short and I can barely move or see.

      I've been having SP all my life. I experience a powerful vibration throughout my body accompanied with very loud vibration-like and high-pitched sounds. I sometimes feel a sense of impending doom or fear (most of the time, actually). It's not a very pleasant transition, but I use it to have Wake-Induced Lucid Dreams.

      When WILDing mine feels like a less severe version of needle numbness. If I have weight on any of my joints while inducing SP it feels like that section of my body fell asleep, it is usually to uncomfortable to fall asleep in this case. When I shift positions after being in SP my body will remain numb for about 5 seconds before releasing the feeling. I've experienced intense SP after failing transitions but it was never anything I couldn't shift positions from, its a similar feeling to moving a body part that fell asleep (needles feeling) from leaning on it to much.

      I've experiences SP throughout my life quite a bit and it's different sometimes. Light SP is actually the scariest, the kind that happens early on in the night right after deep sleep. I had this kind this morning which is what got me to post in this thread, there are a lot of loud wooshing sounds and feelings like a force is passing over me and wrapping around me. Thoughts (especially of sound) will almost always manifest themselves in this state. Heavy SP tends to be more stable, sounds are more stable, and vivid and sound like voices, but no scary thoughts really manifest. I feel like I could move but for some reason I just can't muster up the will to do so, it's like there's just no response from the muscle when I send the signal. If I try to escape in this state I'll go into a dream, in light sp sometimes I can sort of wiggle my way out, but unless I get out of bed, I'll just roll over and get it again.

      I never get sp from attempting WILD, because it's always done through visualization and tactile imagination, I go right from laying in my bed to a dream state (it only works at specific times in the morning though). I just tend to become suddenly consciously aware of sp at times.

      I've had sleep paralysis about two times, one while i woke up about a year ago an was unable to move or speak and my body vibrating. The other was a WILD attempt, as my body locked up i felt as if i was floating over my bed. The floating feeling was followed by a woman's voice distorted. I was also shirtless that night so i felt the cold floor on my back as she carried me, at this point i was starting to drift off into sleep. "Im dragging you" she shrieked an a feeling of being pulled. Needless to say i pussed out an snapped out of it lulz.

      When I go into SP i usually get buzzing that seems to circle around like a helicopter's rotor starting up. Also my body feels like it is sinking through my bed. One time i was transitioning into a dream and i felt hands around my neck trying to choke me, I also heard some evil laughter as well that time.

      I've only ever had sleep paralysis twice... I get numbness and vibrations all over. There's also hands feeling my body, which is really creepy! Both time I made myself get up because I thought there was someone real sitting next to me touching me.

      If I wake into SP I tend not to feel anything in my body, I just 'roll' left or right to DEILD, though today I was extremely conscious even though I was in SP and just couldn't get into a lucid.

      Otherwise it's usually a heavy, weighty, almost crushing feeling which I've learned not to be afraid of as it leads to lucids!

      First in my legsi get this feeling as if they are being cemented down with warm cement and I can't move them. Of course, then they feel heavy and kind of numb and throbbing.
      Then I get the same sensations in my arms and then throughout my whole body.
      But before it reaches the whole of my body I fall asleep.

      Usually, when entering SP I suddenly felt hard to breath, then I didnt' breath at all. All the sensation changed into vacuum thing sucking my whole body. After that, I entered deep darkness saw nothing but blackness (no HI or lights at all).
      When I still a kid, sometime I heard creepy voices during SP. The scariest thing when entering SP is kind of I could see and felt someone/monster/ghost or any creepy thing in front of my face or beside me.

      But now, when entering SP I never get scared because I know it will leads me to LD

      SP for me is experienced when I WILD sometimes. My WILDs almost always happen after WBTB and result in OBEs. When I experience SP it starts with an intense heavy feeling and then moves into extreme vibrations accompanied by loud audio static in my ears. The closest natural "earthly" experience that I can compare SP to would be riding in the back bed of an old pickup truck traveling 100mph over a rough dirt rocky road. Or what it might feel like reentering the earths atmosphere in a space capsule. SP usually lasts 2 to 5 minutes and is always an exciting exhilarating experience that I look forward to and never fear! After all, I am safe at home in bed...
