Sleep Paralysis Testing

[DashieFactory]

 

I usually just lay on my back until I get the urge to change position, and then I don't. Supposedly it's your brain 'checking' to see if you're asleep. Then I relax all of my muscles including my tongue and jaw, and then I wait.

 

I've only done it about three times, and the first two caused me to hallucinate some really weird shit, and it was a bit difficult to stay calm and focused. The third time was a bit more relaxed, and I didn't hallucinate at all.

For me, the feeling of your body 'locking up' slowly gets stronger until you are unmoving. A lot of people compare it to a weight being placed on your chest, but I speculate that is because breathing slows down when you are sleeping, and you may become panicked or excited and start trying to breathe faster, but your body is trying to prevent it.

 

For me, I felt a very uncomfortable prescence in the room, saw some morphing black shapes, and probably the most memorable - something moving across my ceiling.

If it ever gets too intense you can always hold your breath - your body reflexively wakes up.

 

I saw something black kind of hanging off of my ceiling fan, but nothing other than that. Also thanks! I'm definitely going to be doing another session soon and I'll have to share what happens.

Psychologically, its kinda a neat concept.

Otherwise stay away, far far away from that weird shit.

I've had chronic sleep paralysis since I was a kid, at least once or twice a night; it is a terrifying thing when it first starts happening to you. You might not be able to properly concentrate on forcing the first few times you enter into an SP episode. Sometimes you will see incredibly vivid hallucinations, sometimes you'll hear things, and sometimes you'll just have a bad feeling of absolute fear.

 

The most common thing I would see during SP would be black masses crawling on the walls and ceilings, shadow figures, and grey aliens hovering over me. If you can keep your eyes closed during your episode, you can be spared the terrors, but for me sometimes the fear of a presence would be so great that I'd have to open my eyes and look. (For the longest time I thought I was actually being abducted by aliens every night, until I grew up and discovered SP)

 

The fear is dependent on your mood, however. If you enter into SP and are scared of the sensations, you'll most likely see or hear scary things. The best thing to do before willingly entering into SP would be to meditate. Clear your mind, make yourself as light and content as you can. Once you feel SP coming on, hold on tightly to that feeling of contentment - don't let it dissolve into fear, because black masses and grey aliens are very good at keeping you from concentrating on forcing :) Once you enter SP in a clear state, your mind is pretty much in a state that can give you the most powerful visualization and forcing you can hope for. You just have to learn to control that state. You can enter into your wonderland and it will feel like you're physically there. SP is like the cliff you must climb to throw yourself into easily controllable lucid dreams, and for me, throwing myself into my wonderland takes the same sort of steps. So I would look up a guide online about sleep paralysis and lucid dreaming, and see if that helps you.

 

As for inducing sleep paralysis, I know lots of people do it before bed, but my preferred method is in the mornings after I wake up. It is, after all, when I'm most content, and the mornings don't instill the same fears in me that the nights do. Not RIGHT after you wake up, as your mind will be too tired to force and you'll most likely fall asleep during SP. But I set my alarm for an hour before I really need to wake up, and I lay there in bed, looking out the window and allowing the sunshine to wake my body up. You don't physically get up, you want to stay laying down the whole time, because the trick is to make your mind think you want to go back to sleep while making your body think you want to wake up. After about thirty minutes of laying there in the sunlight, I close my eyes, relax all my muscles, and lay perfectly still on my back. Doing that, it seems like I can reliably bring SP about in five minutes or so.

 

(Sorry for rambling, hopefully this helps someone!)

Thanks! When I tried, it was at about midnight and the only thing in my mind was my Tulpa, I made sure not to think of anything else.

It has something to do with hypnotizing someone into thinking that they're a pony from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

 

 

Personally I think it's weird as hell, but hey, to each their own.

But why? That sounds like unhealthily obsessed to the perceivable maximum.

I don't know man. Like I said, it weirds me out too. Some people just like trying things like that, I guess.

 

But this isn't exactly the place to discuss our opinion on it. Especially since there are some people in here who can get a little sensitive when you call something like pony hypnosis, "unhealthy."

[Lacquer]

The pony bit of it isn't relevant. I mean, it'd be the same degree of unhealthily obsessed if one decided to do the same thing for, say, a character of an anime, like the blue-haired girl from nichijou in your avatar.

I agree, any kind of hypnosis like that is strange.

 

However. It could also be said that not everyone does it all for the same reasons. Some people do it just to try it, and others do it more seriously. At least, that is what I assume.
