Help Me Achieve Sleep Paralysis

[eggbert]

Hello, I have been trying for years to have some substantial LD's without success. However, I have decided to first just shoot for attaining sleep paralysis, which I also have attempted many times (probably around 75) with no success. So, I basically am just asking for any help people can give, and I will try to journal my progress here. Now, I have tried both after WBTB and when just going to sleep. I find when doing WBTB I tend to give up after maybe 20-40 minutes, whereas I may try for an hour or more when just laying down. I have tried: -Simply not moving and ignoring itches, as suggested by a post on this forum. -Concentrating on breathing, third eye, or nothing. -Relaxing each body part in turn/Yoga Nidra -Concentrated on feelings, as suggested by another post, although I only feel a small amount of sensations like wanting to float up. -And mixtures of these things. Some problems I've run into: -Sometimes my eyes seem to "force" themselves open. I usually just relax and they will close again though. -I will feel my body begin to numb, and if I concentrate on the feelings they get more intense, but I find my real body will shake and tense up, not my dream body. Thanks for any help! I really want to at least achieve sleep paralysis! Edit: Should this be moved to the WILD sub forum?
