Something interesting to do during sleep

I have discovered a passive way to induce "sleep paralysis"

First, tuck your sheets into the side of the bed so that they arent loose and you cant move

Sleep on your back and have your face up

If you do this for a whole week, there is a chance you will have an "episode" during the middle of the night

And why would I want to do this?limpbizkit818

Its interesting, it is like a weird dream

Before, I never experienced or heard of sleep paralysis

Then I tried this and then it happened

title should be changed to "something torturing to do during sleep"

seriously, why would anyone want to do this?

i also remember having absolutely terrifying nightmares

i had a dream i was in my house, and it was pitch black and zombies were breaking in

i suddenly realized it was a dream and tried my best to open my eyes, but i just couldnt:|

or maybe your immune or something and taking some drugs that stop it

episodes are also llike dreams, you can forget it happened

I've had sleep paralysis, and I'm not sure if anybody would ever want to experience. I couldn't even f'ing breath. Is that supposed to be fun?Video_Game_King

Neither could I. Better yet, someone was coming towards me with a rather large needle.

hmm the problem is when i try it, i just feel stuck in bed, it feels like a wierd dream

how would you transition to lucid dream or "astral projection"?

Close your eyes and imagine/visualize that you are literally stepping into the dream world. It takes quite a bit of practice but it works very well.

the weird thing is that it last about 20 seconds for me, and i usually fall back asleep

Well, I'm pretty in to lucid dreaming/ dreaming and general and have been going to a lucid dreaming website (dreamviews.com) for nearly a year now, so I've been through sleep paralysis a few times to try to get into a lucid dream. It's an interesting sensation. I feel waves going down my body, and my muscles tense slightly, and soon enough I can "see" through my eyelids and enter a dream. I never had any bad experiences with it like some had.

I'm curious now, do a lot of you guys lucid dream? I wasn't expecting so many people here to know about this. For those just introduced, I suggest checking out dreamviews. I promise lucid dreaming isn't some crazy cult thing, it's been scientifically proven, and is very interesting.

Actually, sleeping on your back is proven to have more lucid dreams, and, well, dreams in general.

So that makes sense.

Except my bed is a couch, and I have no sheets, just a fairly heavy plush blanket. I have weird dreams every single night. Just the other day, I had a dream that I was Shrek, riding on Donkey up a verticle part of a mountain, and he stopped.....turned his head.... and said to me "If you don't believe in me, we will fall all the way down". Then I woke up. DarkPrinceXC

I had a dream where I got a paper back that I wrote for my Composition class. Some other students read it and they said I had said a bunch of anti-Semetic comments in it. I was like no, those were quotes!! And they refused to listen.

Then I heard a bang so I woke up.

rofl this is the fifth time ive come back to read it and it still makes me laugh.

With that said, what exactly is sleep paralysis?

If i read correctrly, I might have had my first one the other day. I was home for thanksgiving and went to sleep, and I dreamt that I was in a trash compactor (like in Star Wars, only real life) and I was like standing up and yelling, but when I actually woke up there was no transition. It was like I was suddenly not in the trash compactor, but I could remember every single detail. In the dream, I was acting logically and stuff, and everything seemed under my control (except hte fact that I was stick in a trash compactor).
