I know this is a very hard question, but I am fairly curious about an experience I had a few mornings ago.
The thing is, I seem to have a natural ability for FA’s, since that’s what I tend to get several times a week when I start focusing on LD’s - however, recently I had an experience that almost felt more like a SP of sorts.
I felt that I was lying in bed, and everything around me looked very realistic - it was exactly like waking up in real life.
I believe that I could make small movements, but I’m not sure - I felt very “glued” to my bed, so to speak.
Then I decided that what the heck, I’ll assume it’s a dream and try some stabilization techniques - then I tried to say out loud “This is a dream!”, but it was very hard to make any sounds.
It was exactly as if I had gone mute, I couldn’t actually say anything but only stutter a few sounds, like “th…i… dr…”, and it was quite frustrating.
Then I don’t remember much more except suddenly feeling more alert and being able to move again, as if I had woken up from a dream.
Still, the paralyzed feeling and the super-realistic environment seemed more like a SP, which I’ve never had before, so… what do you think?
Yep, tis was SP. But now I’m going to really be mean. Next time this happens beware the old hag! MUWHAHAHA. You see, what I’ve just done is implant in your mind that there is going to be a an old demon woman that comes from the darkness of your room to attack you/stare at you and scare the crapola out of you. The only reason why she is there, of course, is because you put her there.
But for first time SP? It’s very…very hard to prevent from seeing her. Have a nice day
Edit: Google “Old Hag”
2nd Edit: This is the Wikipedia page. Read and freak yourself out even more! Haha, the first picture is the killer. That picture freaked me out when I had SP. Butcha GOT to do see her/feel her. It’s like SP tradition!
Redifin, that was… unnecessary. I don’t think Laurelindo will fall for that, but there are so many dreamers who give up WILD and SP completely because they are afraid of the Old Hag. Plus, I’ve heard of the Old Hag a long time ago, read about it, seen drawings, met people who are frightened by the idea, yet I’ve never seen her and I’ve had SP many times. I know of many other people who haven’t seen her either, so you only see her if you sort of “want to”.
Definatlly Sounds like SP or FA… really they seem quite related to my experience… I think of SP as differnty level of trance than FA… FA being deeper where you can easitly seperate from your physical body, get out of bed and go about your buisness only to “wake up” again (possibly in another FA)… the Paralysis of SP seems to me like a more superficial level of a simliar place, where if you practise you can relax deeper and seperate, or through visulization initiate a WILD. The Key is to relax deeper when you find yourself in SP untill you can seperate or enter into a dreamscape… I’ve never met the old hag myself… but definatly run into other beings hanging out in my room…
