How can I reach a sleep paralysis or lucid dreaming?

I realise that the two are very different. Ive tried with multiple attempts to reach a sleep paralysis, especially the method shown on 9gag but nothing seems to work. Ive tried even waking up an hour before my usual time, and that doesnt seem to work either. I do constantly question myself if i am dreaming or not, and i do perform reality checks and that doesnt seem to be working. I also tell myself before i go to bed that i will lucid dream, but nothing seems to do the trick.I am aware of the ‘dangers’ of performing this so i dont need to be warned again thanks. Any tips?

Answer #1

It just happens sometimes, i hate it. I see bulky dark figures standing near me or moving around the room. I guess their called shadow people. I’ve had it so much I’ve trained myself to snap out of it when I panic. I know it sounds funny but when your in that mode you cant move at all, you can be straining with all your might to lift your arm but it will just feel like its pinned under a massive weight. The only thing you can still control is your breathing, but not your vocal cords. What i do is end snorting so freaking loud and hard it jolts me awake. Scares the crap out my wife. But back to your question, the only time I felt I could predict when it could happen is when I would be near the edge of the bed, be half asleep, and feel like I could just slip off. Like my body wasnt moving but my mind was being paranoid and making me feel like i was slipping… if that makes sense? Also, 9gag causes cancer.

Answer #2

Ugh I hate when that happens! It’s scary because Im trying to wake up and the only thing that works to wake me up is of someone touches me to wake me up. It happens from your body being soooo tired but your mind trying to wake up. I’ve learned to scream while in that state. It sounds more like I’m imitating Frankenstein sounds but now my family knows to wake me when they hear me grunting but that shadow stuff creeps me out too. I don’t know why you would actually want to be in that state of mind but try early mornings when you wake up but are still tired and trying to still sleep at the same time. That’s when it usually happens to me.

Answer #3

thanks for the answer but i do not appreciate you taking the piss out of cancer.

Answer #4

Answer #5

you’re an absoulte d.ick, you realise that? Hopefully cancer affects you in some way, then we’ll see whos laughing.

Answer #6

you wish for me to get cancer because your favorite website is garbage? no me gusta…. cancer

Answer #7

No no no. How thick can you be? Im not angry that your insulting 9gag, i couldnt give a sh.it. But dont you dare try to make a joke involving cancer. Theres nothing humerous about cancer and nothing ever will be. I dont wish for you to get cancer, I just hope it affects you in some way so you dont have to tease it and can see how serious it actually is. Considering your roughly twice my age and are more immature than I am is quite sad.

Answer #8

I agree, its not a joke and I was not joking, I was stating a fact. 9gag is cancer. I do not understand what taking the piss out of cancer means. __oh look, i just googled 9gag is cancer… here is the first result. http://funadvice.com/r/15tdtft8g5l

Answer #9

To take the piss out of something means to joke about it. You’re an idiot. Grow up.
