主题:Theory Behind SsildThank you for explaining it! I think I get it more now. I've only tried SSILD a couple times, all those times I ended up in sleep paralysis. Pretty sure I did it wrong haha. Anyway, think I'm gonna give it a shot again soon. Thanks for this clarification

From what I remember of the original SSILD post, there can be a variety of outcomes to doing the techniques, but overall it helps with achieving lucidity.

Ahhh, alas, not exactly. It's a weird kind of SP. I've been in SP numerous times, but nothing like this. It's like my upper body is falling downwards, and it's very uncomfortable. I tried many things in order to transition into the dream, but nothing has worked yet. I don't even have any form of hallucinations, just that weird feeling off my upper body dangling, haha. Hopefully when I try it out again, I can figure something out before I get frustrated and give up :3

Ahh that would explain why it's such a different feeling from my normal SP. Almost every SP i get into is basically just the same, but the feelings i get from trying SSILD are odd. That would make much more sense. Thank you!
