Try eating unhealthy foods, like carbonated beverages, using dentist recommend toothpaste to brush your teeth instead of baking soda, (If you don't already) & eating foods containing "natural flavours" & other various vague ingredient names.

(Seriously, why do people still use toothpaste, baking soda is better, makes your teeth whiter & is cheaper, it's like they want yellow teeth!)

i have always experienced sleep paralysis/lucid dreaming in times of great stress (shortly before moving, for example, or during bad time at work).

also, sleep paralysis is terrifying at first, but after 5 or 6 times I could recognize the initial sensation (like an electric buzz in my brain) and I would go to lucid dreaming. this was quite nice (flying around the room / city, etc.) but very short unfortunately. been 8 years since it happened last time, kinda miss it, but careful what you wish for..

Didn't mean to double post.

btw you don't know you're into sleep paralysis until you wake up. everytime I've experienced it, I thought I was awake in bed but paralysed (from fear due to the roof being blown off my room, or a stranger creeping towards me), and THEN I woke up and realized there was nothing in the room and I had dreamed that up. so you don't really induce sleep paralysis, sleep paralysis induces you.

Interesting. I don't know if it is worth mentioning or noting, but my success with lucid dreaming happened frequently during a period of my life in which I would heavily abuse opiod drugs.

So the point between sleep and waking reality was already heavily blurred at the amount of stuff I was taking.

Unfortunately, sleep paralysis as a whole wasn't known to me as a concept, let alone as something to try till long after I have been and am sober.

lucid dreaming is what you're after. like I said, the only benefit of sleep paralysis is after a while you can recognize the sensation and it triggers lucid dreaming for a few seconds or minutes.

sleep paralysis is basically dreaming but thinking you are awake.

>>34374

and paralysized.

>>34374

True - but it's something I have never experienced.

>>34376

well, it's certainly an experience, but i don't know how to replicate it and it seems to be triggered by bad sleep/circumstances/stress.

i don't know if lucid dreaming and sleep paralysis are always linked, or if some lucid dreaming can be achieved without a sleep paralysis trigger. had one time in childhood where i realized i was dreaming because i noticed things weren't making sense like in normal life, that seemed different then my lucid dreaming experiences after the sleep paralysis buzz.

I never tried ketamine, i wonder if sleep paralysis and k-holes are similar.

I started experiencing sleep paralysis when I was experimenting with lucid dreaming. It's not something I would recommend, and I can't see why someone would want to try it. Being trapped in your own body, feeling helpless, barely able to breath, while you hallucinate your worst nightmares, isn't exactly my idea of fun.

>>34366

I heard baking soda ruins your teeth because it's too abrasive or something like that.

Opiates induce sleep paralysis and lucid dreaming when take a bit too much. Happened to me the yesterday. It's like been forced down and you keep trying to sit up but everything is spinning and when you get up eventually you realise your outside your body. When that happens I just jump right out my window apartment you go flying through the walls and through the ground at the bottom then appear back at the top. And you can just keep jumping I do crazy front flips. I don't condone the use opiates I have a legitimate prescription.

I fully realize how horrible people will say it is - But curiosity will continue to make me seek it out. Same as times I have had horrible nightmarish/hellish visions when experimenting with psychedelics and deliriants. No real regrets.

Taking half a sleeping pill (so it's not working full force) and FALL ASLEEP on your back. Don't just lay there until it happens. Literally go to sleep on your back. That's about it, the rest is chance.

Another tip, If you have someone in your house that could poke you,

Drop something or whisper something quickly in your ear while your asleep, it might trigger a response that would usually cause you to wake up, but the sleeping pill should prevent you from waking up fully, putting you in the state of slight wakefulness/ half asleep, which could trigger sleep paralysis.

That's how it's happened to me before. I found I got frequent sleep paralysis while on melatonin. since I've been off for a couple months I haven't had one episode. Maybe try that. Idk

Eat alot of food right before going to sleep, and no drinks. It's not that you're completelty paralyzed it's just that you're body is way to lazy or heavy to move. Is it a scary feeling depends, but the dream or most likely nightmare will be scarier.

>>34364

I've induced it before. It's just hallucinating, except you can't move because you think pygmy niggers are holding you down to prepare to eat your heart or some shit.

In any case, it was the result of waking from the most lucid dream I've had before, so I would assume it's the result of waking whilst being in that sort of state.

>>34364

I used to have it happen to me alot when I was young. It usually happened when i went to bed with my head under the covers

>>34364

Try sleeping somewhere where you can't stretch your body out completely, like the backseat of a car. Also, any position where your head is tilted back (again, a car seat can provide this setting). Sleeping on your back works too, I suppose; The trick , I find , is to sleep in a position where the body can initially fall asleep if prompted, but vaguely uncomfortable, so that the brain remains active.

Though I don't see why you'd want this. I've had sleep paralysis almost every time I fall asleep on a car or bus since I was a kid, and there's not much to it, other than the awful feeling of not being able to move. Sometimes you'll have some sort of dream, but that not usually the case.

>>34364

for me it's when I figure out that I'm dreaming then shit spirals out of control rapidly and I wake up in sleep paralysis and I pull myself out of it

>>34364

You have to put your body in a prone, mildly uncomfortable position (on your back no pillows) and force yourself to sleep while having something to keep you from fully waking (sleep pills, drugs, a high-fat large meal). It's a horrible experience and I fucking hate it, so I can't recommend it. You're more likely to get leg-grabbing symptoms than sleep paralysis, and.bother are fucking terrifying. I always saw shit/felt shit during the sensation. There's bad experiences worth having, but sleep paralysis isn't one of them, OP.

4th dimensional beings that feed off feelings can induce a sleep paralysis, thats when they want u to give them theyr favorite food; fear.

fear eaters, something like that, im sure theres much beter source than me
