I’ve started recording dreams in a journal a while ago and I’ve found I can visually remember all of my dreams(most of the details) for the past weeks. I didn’t know my memory could be recalled so vividly . Anyways, I had a very interesting experience last night and I’m not quite sure what to think of it:
I went to bed pretty late(around 1:30 am) since I’m on school holidays and didn’t feel very tired due to sleeping in the previous day. I wore earplugs to see if I could get to sleep quicker and not be distracted by any noise, etc. Since it was my first time wearing them, it was weird getting used to them. I lay in my bed and I started to drift into thoughts about life in the universe, and then started getting impressively vivid images of stars, galaxies, etc. I felt very emotional on how amazing it is to be alive in such a huge universe.
I opened my eyes and then immediately got the classic sleep paralysis and felt like I was rotating in bed(tablespin). I’m not sure if it was my bed, my body, or my room but I definitely felt it and it was at a slow and steady pace. For some reason I tried licking my teeth and feeling around my mouth with my tongue and I couldn’t feel any teeth! It’s like my mouth didn’t even exist lol. As this was happening I looked around my room and felt that I was being watched by multiple entities(possibly aliens), but didn’t see any. I seen some unidentifiable shadows and dim light but I couldn’t recognize what they were. Soon I slowed down and stopped spinning and found myself completely awake and drenched in sweat.
My problem is that I’m not sure if this was an OBE or lucid dream. My eyes were open the entire time when I felt the sleep paralysis, but I did not hear any sound because I was wearing earplugs. From my past OBEs, I always heard a rumbling sound and I know that the audio is purely mental and should be able to be heard even if wearing earplugs, but it’s weird that everything was completely silent. That lead me to think that it must be a lucid dream, but because my eyes were physically open, that kind of rules out a possible lucid dream. Any thoughts?
I’ve heard that the OBE-indicator sounds eventually go away if you keep repeating OBE’s voluntarily. My most recent OBE was completely silent, too, and after I got out I couldn’t move, so it weirded me out.
That said, SP sometimes comes with tactile as well as visual hallucinations, and by my experience it tends to keep its fingers in different pies (states of mind.) So I would consider that an SP.
Hi ,well first i can say that wasn’t an alien abduction…
In SP state you may suffer fear or… sensation of being “watched”
Or maybe i just don’t get it.
Well from my expirience SP can come with very vivid hallucinations. I have had plenty of them back when i had no idea of LDing. I had terrible sleep habits so i was constantly battling SP. I would say that you where just hallucinating, but it could have been a dream or even real aliens hehe anything is possible.
Sounds like you were very close to having a full-on OBE…i.e. all those perceptual anomalies you experienced are pretty common to those experiencing the transition to the OBE state. The key, for me, is to simply relax and let the transition evolve, no matter how insane the perceptual anomalies are…don’t fight it. As several have mentioned throughout the forum, the transitions tend to smooth out over time. My last several OBE’s have been without the violent uproar (with a couple brief exceptions maybe) that used to occur for me several years ago.
Ya sounds like my time I had SP.
I didnt know what this site was or LD was, So i assumed i was being
watched by aliens. Kept it to myself , now im glad to see other people have
been there
I had this object under my neck for over 1 year (I’m sure it is not natural, because I can slide it around, you can’t do that with glands, but it always comes back, almost as if there is a small string holding to it), and only noticed it a few weeks later after having a similar experience. Try searching your body for something, specially near the nerves and important artery.
