Help "Rolling" out of your own body.

Well yesturday I woke up from the T.V. that I left on, but I wasn’t actually awake, like I couldn’t move, but I don’t think it was SP, I just think I was really relaxed. I tried to move, and I felt myself rolling, so I was trying to push myself out of my own body, but with no avail, it was really hard, and after a while I just woke up. Any help?

was probably a false awakening

But I didn’t LD beforehand.

Don’t push it too hard :tongue:
If you want to do it OBE-style, just gently roll out. It only takes 1/3 of the effort that it would take actually moving.

It was diffrent then other times though, I have been able to push myself out. This time it was all like slow motion and stuff. Kind of wierd. But thanks, maybe I won’t try as hard next time.

Helpful note: you do not need to LD to FA.

:smile:

Well I get those all the freakin’ time then :meh:.

Did you see something or you just knew that you couldn’t move and you were seeing nothing?

From sleep paralysis I can often log roll, even though I can’t do anything else. It feels like moving through molasses. I can actually keep doing it until I get bored - but doing anything useful from that molasses state is always hard for me. Maybe try talking while rolling?

I could see my room. It was just like being in slow motion. Dunlar explained it well.

Well usually with SP I can’t move at all, but this time I could :meh:

I’ve experienced something very similar to this several of times. I can look around but I can’t move at all. With sleep paralysis aren’t you actually awake, i.e. if you are looking at your ceiling it is actually your ceiling IRL and not just an image of your ceiling in your mind? I was at college and I was taking a nap and all of a sudden I was lying on the floor at my home which was hundreds of miles away, I thought I was lucid dreaming but I couldn’t move, I could only lie there. I always thought with SP you were awake but couldn’t move. Is this not right?

Yes thats right, I have been to a doctor for SP. Thats why I thought it was wierd, that I could move, al-be-it slowly. But according to what Dunlar said … I don’t know. It was wierd, and if possible I would like to make use of what happened.
