Thread: Deild Sp?

last night i tried to deild after a dream i was awake but didnt move and kept my eyes closed then something weird happened i felt some weird chills up th right side of my body this scared me so i started to breathe heavily then it went away. was i still dreaming or was it sp??????

Seems to me like you were entering into the awake/sleep transition. I wouldn't use the word "SP" for that feeling because you were likely already in SP in some form, since you woke up and didn't move. I'd say that the fact that you got scared and started breating heavily is what prevented you from having a successful DEILD. Your brain recognized that you were conscious, so it stopped the process.

It's impossible to do an RC without moving, to tell if you're dreaming or not. However, if you were awake, I'd say it was SP. Since DEILD's a form of WILD, it involves SP. Since you were still in REM, I'd say it was SP.

Your breathing pattern when trying to WILD has to stay constant, and so if you are breathing quickly and lightly, then heavily all of a sudden (etc), your body will think you're awake. Try to even out your breathing! =D

Actually, that's not true. There is one way to do it, and it's rather cool actually. You have to manipulate a certain muscle in the back of your throat (the one involved in swallowing). You have to "hold" it in a certain position that would normally prevent you from breathing through your nose OR your mouth (hard to explain, but you should know what I mean), and if you can breathe, you're dreaming. If you can't, you're obviously still awake. Cool, huh?

Awesome. =D Never knew that before.

Yeah, it's a really simple way to figure out whether you've crossed over into the dream state without having to open your eyes or otherwise.
