about sleep paralysis

Quest for Lucidity

im new to this site so hi everyone :tongue:

my question is:

i read about sleep paralysis and i was wondering what happens after you see you cant move

do you drift to another dream? or does your body “wake up”?

if so how long does it take him to be able to move again?

i was wondering because i think yesterday i had a semi paralysis- i couldnt move for ten seconds and then i could move but felt like my muscles didnt move for awhile
maybe a beggining of paralysis?

answers are much appreciated

I always feel terrified and think I need to wake up as fast as possible. The feeling of being trapped, while at the borderline to falling asleep is kinda uncomfortable. So I always try to free myself, in that process I have a bad feeling, because it seems wrong. It seems like if I try, I feel fall deeper into it, or something like that. But after a few trys it usually works and I wake up. There was a case though, where at first I only moved my dream legs. Which is kinda the point where you can get to an LD, I guess. I will try as soon as possible.

From my experience, Two things can happen after sleep paralysis:

  • Eventually relax, and wake up slowly.
  • Transition back into a dream.

THe amount of time under sleep paralysis varies… But its usually just a minute or 2.

A big thing to know is that sleep paralysis gets stronger through fear. So if you are feeling sleep paralysis, just relax. Stay positive.
