I have sleep paralysis and was recently advised to take up lucid dreaming. It's the practice of remaining conscious in sleep, more specifically though, in your REM cycle where you dream. As such, one would be able to explore and mold their dreams consciously.
I find this prospect quite interesting, but would like some accounts or opinions on it as well.
Uh, oh yeah. Sleep Paralysis is the state of being stuck in the period between rest and wakefullness. This is also accompanied by sensatory hallucinations (depending on the person). So, stuck and awake, while seeing/feeling/hearing...really scary things.
I would love to get rid of this, so maybe lucid dreaming would be the way.
Grazi.

I actually have tried some of this. I used to have a problem with really bad nightmares. I read something on this so I started trying it. Usually I can't "control" the dream but it does change it. I used to think it wasn't working but then I noticed I haven't had a really bad dream in a long time. There are books out there about this subject but some of them are plain wacky.

And here I am wanting to have sleep paralysis and the hallucinations more often. Go figure, right? They used to scare me until I read what they were; I welcome them now. Too bad the knowledge of what's happening doesn't help you as well.
There is a method to induce a lucid dream called Wake Initiated Lucid Dream -WILD that involves staying awake while you go to sleep (makes sense huh lol). With this, you experience the SP, hallucinations, and you are able to see your dream form while being aware from the beginning.
Obviously, you'll be wanting to skip that method. =)
I can't think of anything better than lucid dreaming. I know it's not real- neither are some things in the waking life such as television shows esp. reality shows-what titles they give things. I've had many lucid dreams and always trying to have more. I recommend it to you and everyone.
Some lucid dreaming websites are:

Hi Grazi!
I've had lucid dreaming for the past 3 years. It's a wonderful experience, one of the most marvelous in my life. I recommend that you read the "Exploring the Worlds of Lucid Dreaming" book, of Stephen LaBerge. He's the guy!

OH MY GOSH! I used to do this a lot! I had no idea it was a problem. I thought I was dying because I would stop breathing too! It scared me to death! But it just eventually stopped with me. I thought I was having panic attacks. Dude I got to look up this sleep paralysis now. Thanks for posting this.
