Thread: Post-SP

So I've recently been able to get to SP, and can generally do it between 10 and 30 minutes. However after I do get into this state, I have no idea what to do. Once I tried drifting around for a while hoping something would happen but after probably over a half hour of waiting nothing happened.

I also hear of these techniques that involve rolling with your 'dream body', the one where you envision yourself in another room, etc but none of these seem to work. I can't really visualize anything and whenever I try to roll it ends up seeming in my imagination until i get frustrated and roll with my real body, ending SP. Can anyone help me out? I'm out of ideas.

This advice is all based on 3 personal experiences, so is not "expert" or anything, but you can give it a try.

When I get stuck in SP and can't seem to get out of it, but want to LD I do this:
1. repeat to myself "know I am dreaming" for a few minutes, then
2. stop focusing on the SP and anything else and just fall asleep.

Two out of three times I ended up having a LD (DILD) even though I'd "failed." Maybe you'll have similar luck?

Sounds good, thats definitely far more constructive than giving up all together. I'll try it tonight if I don't get results again. Thanks for the input.

Anyone else? I'm sure there's gotta be some other unique methods out there...

There are a couple ways to go from the SP state. If you can't get your dream body free you can concentrate on conjuring up some visuals and building a LD.

Care to elaborate? Conjuring visuals hasn't been working out too well for me. Seems like I can get something for an instant, but then it just fades away into nothing again. Is it possible to be trying to hard to do this? Maybe I'm just investing way too much concentration in it.

What is happening? You get the SP... No feeling of separation? No vibrations? No visual or auditory hallucinations? You get board after a while and bring yourself out of it?
