主题:Wild Help Appreciated Ld4AllI've been trying wild for some time now. The thing is, I don't think I've ever actually gotten into sleep paralysis. After some time of laying in bed my body starts to feel numb but it doesn't come in vibrational waves. Also, I can still move at this point. My vision feels like its coming from the center of my head instead of my eyes and I have a weird perception of my body. I think that I might be too mentally awake. I have yet to experience any hypnogogic imagery or anything. If anyone could give me some help on just getting to sleep paralysis, that would be great. I think I'll be able to get wild down after that step.
Current LD goal(s): Create a song in a dream and bring it into the real world.
@StarryGwee summed it pretty well. I'll add my two cents here.
First off, SP usually happens upon waking up. Entering SP intentionally from a waking state is not always easy to do. Let's face it, in a sleep cycle you usually starts with NREM-1 and NREM-2. These are stages were your body is not yet fully shut down!
IMO, a lot of the time when we LDers say SP, we are not really talking about the authentic SP. What we experience is mind/body separation, which feels like SP but in a strict sense it is not.
