Active Forcing And Sleep Paralysis

[Deadlykid]

So I felt I was spamming Q&A with too many questions, so ill post one here.

 

 

So when I closed eye force, I stand still for long extents of time.

Also before I got into tulpas I was into lucid dreaming.

 

I remember one of the way you go into lucid dream is the WILD technique, which involves the body staying still for long extents of time so the brain thinks the body is asleep then paralyzes your body so you dont act out your dreams, however when someone is awake when the brain paralyzes them this leads to sleep paralysis. During sleep paralysis you can often see hallucinations due the the brain thinking your asleep. (dreaming with your eyes open) Most of the time ppl see scary things holding them down because they are paralyzed and confused.

 

So since I stand still during forcing, would it be probable that I would fall into sleep paralysis during active forcing?

 

Or would all the brain activity keep me from slipping into sleep paralysis?

Something tells me there was a thread regarding sleep paralysis and standing before.

 

Do note that if you're "standing," the chances for sleep paralysis to even occur is improbable. If you want general information on REM Atonia in relation to sleep paralysis, I recommend this article here:

So unless you've had irregular sleeping patterns that may augment the probability of REM rebound (where REM (Rapid-eye-movement) is more frequent and usually longer due to sleep deprivation), you have nothing to worry about with sleep paralysis. You should take some appreciation that you won't get into sleep paralysis in the first place in active forcing.

Yeah, I feel like there was a thread like this before too. Maybe it was one of the ones that was lost when the forums went down.

 

I think it was the general consensus that it's very unlikely for someone to go into sleep paralysis while forcing, even if completely motionless.

 

As to whether it would be helpful, normally hallucinations can't be controlled, but hypnogogic ones might be different. molaram1 found an interesting technique for this which you can read about here.
