Thread: need help with sleep paralysis

Hi there my friend,
First of all, do you WBTB first before attempting to WILD? It's a must do since it makes a SP much more easier to achieve. If you don't WBTB and just do a WILD directly, it will surely be a pain on your part my friend. Also, it's okay to move a little when you're WILDing, the important thing here is to be in the most comfortable position you can have. So if you want to scratch your back, scratch it and don't think about it anymore. If your back hurts, slowly shift your body to another position the forget about it. When your back starts aching, the tendency here is, you'll put more attention to it thus losing your attention in WILDing. But if you are able to relieve the aching, then you can easily forget about it and return to WILDing. So move if you want to

Hope this helps and feel free to reply back

Have you tried sleeping on your side, I don't even feel SP when I do.

Ive had two terrible experiences with SP. First one was terrifying. couldn't sleep for a couple of days. Second one just felt like i was floating and falling. i overcome by sleeping on my side. even though i have less lucid dreams when i do.

does anyone know any ips on how to enter sleep paraylsis.

Read the forums man, theres so much information

When do you attempt to enter SP?
The easiest time that I find to enter SP is during a short WBTB. Just try not to fall asleep straight away. Saying that, don't be too aware either. Maintaining the perfect balance to enter your WILD is a delicate thing. Usually, during this WBTB, i'll get into full SP within 5 minutes. Simply lay down (in any position you're comfortable with) and relax. Try not to have your mind racing 100km/h, but that's one of the great things of trying to get into SP in a WBTB, your mind is still very relaxed.
Good luck!

i am wilding i haven't successfully performed a WILD but I'm trying and what i want to know is where is the best place to WILD bed,hammock,floor any suggestions and any tips to enter sleep paralysis would be nice too.

Bed, and lie down normally.
Meditations won't work much if you haven't WILDed once.

Haha hammock might work! Lie down how you normally do, be as comfortable as possible, you probably won't feel SP on your side.

I'm a Wilder i lay perfectly still but will i feel my body in SP and how long does it usually take i know i need to count my breaths and should i wear a sleep mask and noise cancelling headphones any reply's are very helpful thank you

Meh, don't make it too complicated. I think counting breaths would just distract me. And the sleep mask and headphones too, unless you're used to having them on. Remember, you're still going to sleep when you WILD. But I've only had one WILD (never have time to ) so don't take what I say too seriously.

First thing you need to do: sleep.

This is difficult, but it isn't just laying still. Entry into a WILD is not simply remaining still. Entry into a WILD requires sleep, but with a razor-thin amount of awareness. Excitement and anticipation ("Am I asleep yet?"), while reasonable (I did this all the time), will not help you to sleep. You must let yourself nod off, but with enough of an awareness (JUST enough) that you are able to confirm if you are in the dreaming state or not. Let it happen.

One piece of advice I can give you - do this in the morning immediately after awakening, while you are still groggy and half-awake, half-asleep. Your body, naturally, craves sleep. This is the perfect time to practice. You'll have a much easier time entering the WILD state upon awakening than at night. (WILDing at night is really, really difficult. You'll probably want to attempt this more upon awakening than before going to bed. If you have trouble getting to sleep during daylight, simply set your alarm for early in the morning - while it's still dark out. You'll be headed back to sleep, anyway.)

Good luck.

Hi there my friend,
The amount of time to reach SP actually varies from person to person. Some may reach the SP phase in a matter of seconds while others have to wait for a surprising 30 minutes. I kind of agree with Din's answer, the main thing about WILDing is to sleep, but be mentally conscious throughout the whole process. So you see here that the method needs patience, mastery of the method and a good amount of luck. But don't be downed, have you tried WBTB(wake back to bed) before attempting to WILD? Combining WBTB and WILD makes WILDing much more easier to perform. Hope this helps and good luck in WILDing

You don't need to count your breath, focusing on them is good, but not getting too immersed in it, just try to stay aware. And you don't have to wear a sleeping mask or the headphones, just be comfortable!

i know this is a basic question but what does the signal feel like when you're mind sends the signal to you're body to make sure it's asleep?

It's different for everyone. Your body may feel heavier and or numb, you might feel some vibrating or even Hypnogogic Hallucinations. You might not even be able to move at all. (Commonly referred to as HH) For me personally, my body feels heavier, and I get some vibrating for a little bit.

wow thanks

No problem. I'm still new to this, but if you have any other questions feel free to ask and I'll answer them as best as I can!

In SP, I just felt a wave of like massaging going down your body and weird ass noises in my ear.

Yeah, I get like a buzzing/vibrating sort-of-sound/sort-of-sensation in my brain.

i know that most of my post have been about needing help but when I'm attempting a wild i relax flat on my back and don't move after a while of saying 1 i am dreaming 2 i am dreaming....etc. i start to feel tingly not like a lead blanket is being placed over me just tingly i can still move my muscles if i wanted to. i wait for the signal my body is sending to see if I'm asleep but it feels like it never comes. any tips

Are you trying to WILD at the beginning of your night sleep or are you trying after a period of sleep? If you are waiting, how much time do you spend sleeping before you try?

i am trying it when I'm napping and when i go to bed to i usually wild at night after 5 hours of seed going to bed at 8 and waking at1 any thing I'm doing wrong

how do you turn partial sleep paralysis into full paralysis. I experienced partial paralysis last night so now i want to enter full paralysis. Any ways to enter full paralysis would be nice
