Fiddler's Green Experimentation Log

Thank you for the compliment. Having newly arrived to the forum, I had also wondered what this obsession was with sleep paralysis. I just had a WILD early this morning with the use of supplements which I will describe momentarily and I did not experience sleep paralysis. In fact if the dreamer focuses more on the mental exercises and doesn't attempt to move, they should never notice sleep paralysis, accept maybe when they wake up, but this is rare. Focusing on trying to achieve sleep paralysis can cause a dreamer to loss concentration and have a failed attempt. __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _____________________________________________ I have experienced different occasions of sleep paralysis and a good explanation that I could get are from my research of Astral Projection (AP) and Out-of-body-experience (OOBE). What happens is that before you go into REM sleep and have dreams. Your Astral body have to seperate from your physical body and float up about 2-3 inches...it could be more depends on other stuff...but anyway, sleep paralysis can occur during the beginning, the middle, or the end of this phrase of seperation. What happens is that your mind become awake while your Astral body is going through this seperation so that you can't move your physical body...thus you have sleep paralysis. And your mind became awake can be from just accident or it could be trying to practice to induce a lucid dream. Anyway, if you happen to be awaken during the beginning phrase of the seperation then you will experience many loud noises couple with vibration and even feel yourself going through some sort of tunnel like area. I believe the people who experience this call it OOBE. If you happen be awake after the seperation then you will be either in a dream or at the beginning of a dream. Thus you will see hypnagogis (spell?) images or already be in a dream and became lucid. That's us here :-)...we called it Lucid dream. Last but not least if you happen to be awaken near the end when you Astral body is about to return to your physical body...but not quite...then you will also have sleep paralysis. But you won't have any tunnel or vibration experience. So people was able to get lucid from this phrase and I believe that they call it Astral Projection because they were able to move their Astral body AFTER it has return to their physical body. They just get up again and go. And of course they don't have any tunnel or dramatic vibration experience so they just call it Astral Projection. For me I was able to prove this theory because I became awake during these different phrases of seperation and was able to look back at my physical body after my Astral body seperated. I'm sorry I don't have time to edit my writting but just wanted to get the infomation. Feels free to ask any questions or clarification. Nightflyer
