Help!! (Getting into SP)

I am new to all this, and uhh I dont remember experiencing a SP ever before!
I tried slipping into SP, but for some reason I just cant, my mind is always blank or like I am counting while having steady breaths, and there is no negative thought or anything that would be occupying my mind at that moment.
I had the feeling of heaviness going through my feet till my chest, but after that I dont know, my focus goes upon gulping down the saliva down my throat which is the only thing I am irritated with almost every time upon relaxation. I am not actually irritated but maybe this recycles my time interval again and again before having SP, I read that it somewhere that it could occur in just few mins!
Can this be a reason for not slipping in an SP?
The longest period I tried having an SP was for 40 mins but with no success! So I just slept :tongue:

Mmmhm…It seems to me your wasting time with this SP thing when you should be praticing a WILD / MILD / WBTB/ VILD/ WRM / CILD etc. You see, SP (most people think, including me) is a extremely vivid LD in which are very aware of your surroundings. Actually, some think that you are slightly awake when your in SP.

You said it yourself, “I am new to all this.” SP is extremely difficult to, “slip into.” It’s not so easy…unless your already dreaming :grin: Haha, then you slip into it very easily…on accident. That is why they sometimes refer SP to “the old hag.”

So take a lesson, your new…so relax! Ha, have fun, and try to LD before anything else. Then when you get a good regular LD every week or so, then you can possibly go into SP in a LD.
