I went to bed last night listening to Deerhunter’s Halcyon Digest with the intention of entering sleep paralysis and becoming lucid through a WILD. My body felt incredibly heavy and it was like this about halfway through the album. After another half an hour when the album ended I was unsure of whether my body had entered sleep paralysis or not. I opened my eyes and did not hallucinate like I had imagined I would and I was also immediately able to move.
1: Was I paralyzed?
2: If not, how close was I?
3: Is there a definitive point at which you are positive you are in sleep paralysis?
It feels like I’m always in this stage despite how long I wait. I was in this stage for over 30 minutes and still didn’t enter sleep paralysis apparently. My body is broken.
First off, DO NOT THINK THAT. Your subconsious will take that as a command, then you will be effed. As for your stage, maybe listening to music was messing you up. Try keeping awake purely through thoughts.
Read about WILD everywhere you can, try some new techniques, try and make your own, but trust me, you will find a way that works for you, if you are willing to look.
You just gotta let go and relax your body more. Look up 61-point technique, and try it when you want t attempt this kind of things, a relaxed body makes a world of difference
I second that. If you don’t like it, do something else. Some people really like SP, including myself, and can get great LD’ing results from it. So please stop trying to scare and demotivate people. Let them try it if they want and decide for themselves if it’s fun or if “they’d never want to experience it again.”
Hmm… I think you just need to remember one point: It is completely harmless. But Arne I don’t really get you. To you LD’ing is hard. You don’t think you’ll make it. You don’t try it. Yet, your still on this forum. Seems like a helluva paradox.
