This happened to me a lot when i was around 6-9 years old.

I've only done it once. I woke up in the morning extremely tired then went back to sleep, I knew I was asleep though was so tired I was aware.

Scary things only happen to you if you expect them to happen, and since you are awake while sleeping you only see the scary stuff instead of an awesome fantastic dream about murdering your foes or flying or something

you poor poor child

it might have been exciting or confusing to him at that age range.

It was but mostly confusing.

I tried it once but I gave up like 2 minutes in and turned over. i guess I gotta be more patient.

I feel like if I went through the 20 minutes of doing absolutely nothing after reading how to do it, my subconscious would be aware of the fact that I'm trying to fake myself asleep.

In other words, is this method completely fool proof? Under what circumstances would this sleep paralysis thing not work?

[Skateaton]

and then to see how i looked i got a mirror
oh god
the horrors.

whats in a mirror?

whats in a mirror?

usually in a lucid dream you don't see your reflection, like how your fingers might be too long or something, so your mind has to compensate for that
usually you think of something scary in a mirror and you see it, but it might be your real reflection

Your body and your brain are independent (eg: your body repairing tissue, growing, heart beating, all that is not controlled by you.) But, they work together. Your subconscious might know, (hell it will) but your body wont. This technique is to get your body asleep. When your body is asleep it releases the dream hallucenation stuff.

So if I look in a mirror, I'll have elongated fingers/elongated extremeties?
A double-edged sword!


I tried this once. I've never actually done it, but almost went into sleep paralysis.
stuff was scary; it felt like my chest was being compressed or collapsing or something, and I heard my own heartbeat.
Kind of interesting at the same time though.

i lucidly dream every night but there are times I can't contol the dream
sometimes i dream of some guy named kaleb having me chained in a basement
i don't even know anyone named kaleb and it's not one of those wet bsdm dreams
it's torture

[Brian Smithers]

you can do things horribly wrong,
my friend who does this like every night once had a sword
and he was about to slay a monster for a girl he liked
but he missed and when he put back the sword he bashed his face in half
and lived
