Hey guys, so to start off, yes, I have searched around the forum, and I haven't found an answer to this predicament.

Now, I am actually posting this right now on behalf of my friend who is a tad bit nervous to forums and whatnot. He hasn't exactly had very good experiences in the past, so please do try to show him how welcoming people can actually be on these things. He's going to post using this account from now on, but I just wanted to help him get started off.
So, in case we get a reply before he posts in more detail about his predicament, he's essentially trying to try out Sleep paralysis. He's aware of the possible fears and whatnot (I had entered it once before and have told him a bit about it, however you guys look to be the professionals here), and despite those reasons, he is still really curious to try it (lucid dreaming too, but he wants to do this first as it is easier).

So, his apparent predicament from what I get is that he did get really close a few nights ago, but now, whenever he lies on his back his right arm I believe can't stay straight. it keeps muscle spasming and wants to bend, and he had apparently tried to deal with it numerous occasions, one time for an hour straight. This of course keeps his body from falling asleep, so we were hoping that we could get some help or someone to talk to that could help fix or remedy this problem.

So, anyways, thanks for taking the time to read this, and I am going to let my buddy take over now. I'm not the paranoid mom that's all "oh, please baby him", but just try to show him that not everyone is judgmental on these things and that people can act like adults.
