LUCID DREAMS RULE. I followed steps and now i can control my dreams as if i was in a movie. The key to lucid dreams is to right down your dreams every morning in a journal so you can remember them weeks from then. Then with practice you to can have lucid dreams


Sleep Paraysis is the worst though. Ever have it where you wake up but cant move. This happened one night and this demon like figure was on my. CRAZY STUFF BUT TRUE. My friend tells me though if our calm you can pull away fom your body and move around
 
Was it Freddy?

Edit: i dont think i had complete paralysis, but i have waken up before where i can't move my arm for few seconds and then finally i have control.
 
I don't know what kind of drugs your friend is on, but I have experienced sleep paralysis once. I fell asleep in class once during a movie, when the teacher turned the lights on - I remember waking up and hearing people talking, etc, but I coulnd't move for liek 5 minutes. It feels like your fighting your whole body, and it gets scary.
 
I experience sleep paralysis about once every 3 to 4 weeks. I hate it because breathing gets very heavy and you can't move. I feel like I'm dying.

this happens to me on occasion, wednesday actually was the last time.

I've read up on it and it a type of lucid dreaming. You cannot move your body because your body sent a signal to the brain "are you still awake" got no answer back. So your body said "ok i'm going to sleep now" meanwhile you were not asleep, just in a lucid and or meditative state and all kinds of stuff starts coming to you over the celestial wireless. You know you are not asleep and you know you cannot move your body but yet you cannot do anything about it so you kind of just space out on whatever is flying through your mind. I would take this as a good thing as I dont know to many ppl that are capable of this on a regular basis. My next expirement is going to be not to get freaked out that i cant move my body and start to really see what type of things can manifest in my mind and if I may be able to actually leave my body completely....i'm sur ethis will take practice but its worth the shot.

so yeah ...not wierd just not common.

How does writing down dreams help with lucid dreaming? I've done some practices for lucid dreaming, and it was mainly on priming yourself to question whether you're dreaming or not when you're dreaming. Because once you realize you're dreaming, then you can control it. I haven't done any of the practices in over a decade, but i still get a lucid dream every couple of weeks.
 
I had sleep paralysis a few weeks ago, when I was taking a nap at my parents' house. I had been asleep for a couple hours, and when I woke up, I couldn't move... it took a good 30 seconds before I could move again. pretty freaky.

that was the first/only time I could remember it happening. I used to sleep walk pretty bad as a kid, though. at least several nights a week, I'd go to sleep in my bedroom on the 2nd floor, and I'd wake up either on the floor of the living room or on the couch in the basement. eventually my parents just moved me into the basement and I stopped sleep walking (or if I continued to sleep walk, I wasn't able to climb up the stairs 😛). since then, I've only sleep walked twice that I'm aware of -- once at a retreat in high school, and once in college.

Not exactly. Do you mean you'll be addicted to it? I think people get excited over it because it's something different, and they're amazed that they can do it... but the novelty quickly dies. Infact, i'll say 2/3 of the time i become lucid and realize i'm dreaming, i don't even bother going any futher. Sometimes i'll even just wake up, but more than often i'll just go back into dreaming mode and go back to 'sleep'. Only rarely do i actually find a dream interesting enough that i'll take control of it (incidentally last night was my first lucid dreaming that i controlled in a couple of months).
 
I think that I'm making some progress in lucid dreaming (gaining some consciousness in my dreams) and yes, it's awesome.
I can recall a lot more dreams, I have some very detailed memories 🙂
Doing what I want to do while in a dream world is amazing.
 
the problem with controlling your dreams is that I tend to wake up pretty quickly after I start controlling them. If I don't realize it's a dream, it lasts a lot longer. Then again, I tend to be more awake if I controlled it...so maybe it's not such a bad thing...
 
i get bad sleep paralysis. usually i just lay there and cry and try to scream because i think ghosts are raping me and they are choking me which is why i can't scream.

then i wake up and am too afraid to go back to sleep.

:shocked:
 
I have heard sleep paralysis can be influenced by sleeping on your back. Those who have had it: were you sleeping on your back when it happened?
Since I sleep on my side I have never had it.

it's jus that when i do get lucid dreams i feel like im 'awake' because i kind of am..and i usually end up waking up after only controling the dream for a short while. where if i was 'sleeping' i wouldnt have control of my dream and i would think its real and get sleep.
 
You people have some pretty whacky shiat happening to you.
I've never experienced sleep paralysis and to my knowledge have never sleep walked, nor have had a lucid dream or been able to control my dreams (knowing that I'm dreaming) and NOT wake up. It seems the moment I know I'm dreaming I'm awake.
 
one time i fell asleep on my right arm. when i woke up, it was numb and i couldn't feel a thing. i started using my other arm to shove my right around around for fun.
 
KB: I think I am always on my back when I experience sleep paralysis. I think I'm also always sitting up partly (like with pillows behind my back/head. Happens typically when I'm napping, rarely at night. It's a terrifying thing, I panic when it happens.
 
Wow, I just wrote down some memories to help me recall my recent dreams 🙂
I can remember dozens of dreams, even those I had (a few months or even years ago) before I started experimenting with lucid dreaming. It's kinda scary to recall some old nighmares.

About sleep prarlysis: sometimes I experience that my mouth is open and I can't breathe, lift my head from the pillow, see, or move my arm but I don't know if that happens just before waking up or just a moment after I wake up. It might or might not be part of a dream...
I always sleep on my side.

I had sleep paralysis once in college. I was fully alert but was lying down and could not move.. I then felt as if I were floating above my body and then floated around my apartment and looked back and saw my body on the futon and my eyes were watching me float around.. it was very very trippy and I had not done any drugs or alcohol.

The key in doing this is making yourself fall asleep while you know you are sleeping so you are alert when you start to drift off (hard to explain, but can be done)
