Thread: How can i stabilize this into a lucid dream?

I have sleep paralysis quite often. Just this morning i had SP like 5 times consecutively.

Anyway, sometimes with sleep paralysis when i try to get up, i do get up.

My real body doesn't,but i roll out of my body and i'm either floating or walking around. When this happens i can walk around but when i go a certain distance i get dragged back to my body by some unseen force ,or i instantly find myself back in my body.

One of my first experiences with this is that while in SP, i roll out of my body and i think i'm awake. I get up and walk to my closet and start getting dressed. As soon i realize that i'm not actually awake, and i'm still in bed paralyzed. Boom i find myself back in my body on my bed paralyzed. I want to transition this state into an actual lucid dream.


This always happens, but i have no idea how i can solidify this state to help it become a lucid dream.

I havent had one yet, but from reading threads on i here i have noticed alot of people have or had this same problem. I also read that you are supposed to not think about your real body in your bed, just dont do it i guess. Im thinking thats another thing that the reality checks are for. Try reading over some of the dream stabilizing techniques.

As soon as you realise you are in fact still in bed, try rubbing your hands together or picking things up and giving them a good feel. Some people say spinning helps but I've never tried that one. Just do anything you can to make your experience more realistic and keep your mind off your actual body.

I felt like a dipshit when i tried that. It also did not work at all and i hit my head against a wall and woke up.

Well, they say that lucidity is fueled by how "awake" the logical part of your brain is (which is completely inactive in normal sleep) so you could start doing math in your head. When I do this, I try to present my mind with a bunch of different math/logic problems in rapid succession. I call it the 48 method because I always start It with something involving the number 48 for some reason. It also helps me keep from laughing whenever I have to struggle not to.

Why would you not want to laugh?

No, that would probably just bore me to sleep.

try to grab an object, observe and feel it.
