Re: i think i just experienced sleep paralysis [Re: underfliptown]

I had similar thing happen this afternoon, used to happen a lot when I was a kid with a reoccurring dream. I would roll out of bed and kneel down in front of my window and the room would be filled with bright light and I would have the sensation of getting sucked out, many times I would actually wake up kneeling at the window.

This afternoon I fell asleep on the lounge for a couple of hours, was having very vivid weird dreams, I remember my eyes being open and seeing the room, felt like I couldn't take as deep a breathe as I needed, then switched back to dreaming back and forth a few times until finally I woke completely and had control of my body again.

I am extremely exhausted in pain at the moment and that's been taking a toll in every way, but its one of those things that really make one re assess reality.

This was really fucking weird.

I was asleep, and then I heard a loud noise. But when I went to move I had the vision of getting  up out of bed but i was still stuck in my bed. It's still kinda fresh, and hard to recall.

I felt the need to get up and talk to someone because it was kind of uncomfortable. It is almost like my soul was leaving my body and could get up and walk around my house, only to return back to my body when i opened my eyes. At times I would open my eyes and I could see "visions" of scary looking demons in my room, but only briefly. The weirdest part was trying to get up out of bed but just not being able to.

It was like I was inbetween dreaming and being awake. I was aware that I could not move, and I was hallucinating so i assume I was still asleep. But I could also think perfectly lucidly. I don't know if my eyes were actually open or if it was just a really intricate dream. It was not entirely pleasant.




I had a sleep paralysis 17 years ago I remember like yesterday

they can be worse than the worst bad trip, even though they dont last 12hrs like LSD

have had a few really bad trips, but nothing like that SP

remember it clearly like it was yesterday

luckily I looked inside myself to face my fears, no fears left, now the demons jump off me in SP :-)
and I chase them instead of them chasing me

Lucid dreams are definitely worth a few bad SP states

The best way I've found to induce sleep paralysis is to get too much sleep. I used to experience it a couple of times a week, but over the past year or two it's tapered off (lack of sleep is to blame I think.)

Whilst waking up into the SP state can be momentarily startling, it's a fantastic way to push into an OBE (or WILD/LD depending on your belief system.) I let the electrical energy sensations build until they are roaring in my head - then I roll out onto the floor and go exploring. The sensation of rolling out can be a bit hazy at first, and vision can be dim. But crawling away for a few meters usually makes everything more solid.

Dont worry about my beliefs :-P

15 years of a few LDs/SPs a year have convinced me ;-)

I like laying down on my back, binaural beats/or very quiet environment, dont move for 1-2hours
then getting heavy etc.

often if doing that a few times on a regular basis an SP will be achieved

I rarely get directly into LDs, usually have SPs which are always a bit scary, then when the shadows move away from me I walk around and suddenly get light and realize Im dreaming

SPs can be a very good way to get into LDs, and to learn to overcome fear

sleep paralysis scared me more than once too, but once you have conscience of it just calm yourself and demons will go away, i think our fear create it..and yes you can push the enveloppe to an OBE experience cause your body is asleep and your mind is awake. your conscience still tuned with your body but there ways to get out, for me i simply needed to jump away from my body with a great confidance(once calm enough and without fear)..
i used this 'door' when i was younger but now it's not so frequant,
i'm not missing those demon but to travels yes!

i'm glad to see so many people experienced it!
good luck exploring this state

This has happened to me quite often over the last 20 years or so. Sometimes while settling into sleep and sometimes when coming out.

At first it was always horrible. Always. Sometimes I'd stay up the rest of the night scared. After so many repetitions I learned to talk (in my head)to myself and even at the dream (or whatever) itself, and gained some control. Mobility even to an extent.

To be honest this is the first time I've found that I'm not alone in this particular experience. That feels good.

One thing on the plus side that I've noticed over the years is that I have gained a lot more control in my every night dreams having had practiced forcibly trying to take back control so many times.

On the minus, when I fight it and lose the battle the dream/paralysis seeps into my psyche and lingers throughout the next day with a lot of weight..

Cool man, sounds like a partial or border line out of body experience/astral projection. You can see/hear/feel some pretty disturbing shit, but if you can manage to get a grip on what's happening it can be better than tripping. It comes easier to some people than others. If you're the least bit interested in it I'd point you in the direction of Journeys Out of Body by Robert Monroe. It's one of the first and still one of the best written accounts of out of body travel.

Very interested as a matter of fact, thank you kindly for the nod in the right direction, I will definitely be looking into the book you mentioned.

When I lucid dream, I like to do the hold your nose and blow out reality trick. If you can blow out your nose then you're lucid. Go explore. Another thing I like to do, but doesn't always work is try to push your thumb through the palm of your other hand. I remember one LD I did that reality check and it didn't work. I felt my thumb hit my palm. But another try later it popped through. It kind of shocked me and made me realize I was lucid, and then I woke up.

Ahhhhh. That electrical body buzz feels SO good.

Sleep paralysis is scary as fuk. It happened to me once, about 1.5 years ago. I remember being frozen in bed, laying on my right side. THere was someone/thing that had its hand on my hip and ho9lding me down. THis thing was whispering what sounded like demonic chants, i really didnt understand what it was saying and felt like it was holding me in bed.

One of the scareist things in my life lol luckily it hastn happened since *knocked on wood*

I think that you just gotta kind of embrace it when it happens. The more you fight it the worse it gets. If you sort of just go with the flow, then it seems to work itself out.

The demons are a recurring theme it seems in SP or OBE phenomena, I think they are some kind of fear test, because when you disregard the demon or other shadowy creature as just part of your mind or something unreal, you usually are free to leave the body after that. I know it sounds strange but I think something really strange is going on as 'reality' anyway. It's quite apparent when you have certain types of OBE, that the world is not what it seems.

I've always seen such negative entities in the SP state as manifestations of (unconscious) fear generated by being thrust into the SP state. The SP state rides the hypnagogic/hypnopompic border, so it seems sensible to assume that fears can manifest as physical scenarios.

I've had a lot of crazy negative stuff happen at this point. Being torn out of my body and bashed around by huge dark entities - hearing them come up the stairs into my room, scream in my ears - even had entities crush my consciousness down to oblivion, or smear it sideways across the face of reality. pretty trippy stuff.
I don't buy into the whole negative entity world view, so I see them as somewhat exhilarating and fascinating negative reactions to the SP state.

It is interesting that LDs are often 99% similar to this reality

I wake up where I went to bed, I meet the people I do in my everyday life
then suddenly I start to float,  or I get chased by some demonic being

if facing the being I can control my reality almost 100% sometimes

only light switches dont seem to work often, else everything physical works
until it doesnt work suddenly

OBEs often feel more real than this reality, maybe because you notice the body is an illusion of the brain when you start to float from it and see it from above
reality is forever changed since that, and it is never forgotten

it makes sense though: your brain processes what happened during the day or in the recent past. For most of us, notable things that happened recently were interactions with other people.
For lucid dreaming it helps to keep a dream diary so you can find out which things you dream about frequently. Then you can start doing reality checks around these things in your waking life.
The reality check I always do is to examine my hand. In a dream it never looks like in waking life. Sometimes I have seven fingers, sometimes I have some sort of claws, sometimes I have an additional thumb... Always works for me.

Definitely hypnogagia.  Nothing to fear though - although sometimes you can definitely feel very awake and stuck in your own body getting frustrated trying to roll out of bed a few hundred times with your eyes closed and disconnection from you're body.

I've also had some incredibly strange waking nightmares where my eyes will be open and shadowy creatures will fly around and fill the room and right before something HORRIBLE happens, I wake up, looking at the exact same perspective, but all the halllucinations and feelings of dread are gone and I'm left with a brisk memory of it and wanting to hold my girlfriends hand and fall back asleep.
