This is a real annoyence that I can only get it once every four months and I want to get it more often... well as often as I can anyway. Can anyone give me advice to get into it more often. preferably when wakeing up but any medatitions would be nice.

Just wondering, why do you want to experience sleep paralysis more often?

Quite simple. Force yourself to only sleep 3 hours a night. Take lots of naps at random times of the day. Get up at a different time of day every day. Anything that really screws up your circadian cycle. Do this for a year or two, and then tell us if you get any sleep paralysis moments.

I think I might have had sleep paralysis before. I'm not sure if it was a dream, but I remember waking up and not being able to move or talk. My friend was spending the night, and was laying on the floor just a few feet away. I remember trying to call for him...but no use. For some reason, I also remember inverted colors.

Ok, I will bite as well, why in the world would anyone wish to do this intentionally?

It is a malfunction, it should never happen to anyone. Usually it is nothing dangerous but if it happens more than once and a while you should see a doctor. There is a chemical basis to it that can be a problem.

I am pretty sure the person would like to do this for lucid dreaming....I may be wrong though.

sleep in uncomfortable positions (but specific ones). the times i have gotten the most sleep paralysis is when i was sleeping in a chair, either leaning foward on my backpack while on a library desk, or leanign backwards on a computer desk-type chair against a corner of a wall. however im pretty sure any uncomfortable position involving something with your head will cause this. it causes overcomphensation in your brain to make u sleep even thou you dont like it, which ends up becomming sleep paralysis.

You should also attempt not to fall into a deep sleep while doing this, and to randomize the nap time like that other guy said.

one time my brain conspired against me in this. I was leaning back in teh chair and i thought i was awake. then i realized that although the surroundings were familiar, they were incorrect and missing key details. then i woke up and saw some differences and i knew i was asleep. It was very weird though because i could have sworn my eyes were open and i was looking down the cooridoor.

Put yourself under extreme stress all the time. I suggest being a substitute teacher by day, and moonlighting as an air-traffic controller.

Seriously, sleep paralysis can be really terrifying. You'd do well to avoid inducing it on purpose.

Sleep Paralysis is also called what's known as focus 10 in the Monroe hemisync course. They call it mind awake - body asleep & is the most important state you need to master in order to AP, RV & LD.
I think this is the reason why the poster is trying to get to this state at will, people fear this state as their mind freaks out with not being able to move & thus snaps them out of it.
I can get to this state quite easily using the hemisync course but have yet do the seperation part.

Most of the time sleep paralysis happens because you are coming back from what they call astro tripping. You been out of your body so long that it takes a wile for you to regain your moter functions (able to move). To help with that if you start by trying to move your toes then your fingers. The thing is stay com. If you do this you will come out of the sleep paralysis faster than just laying there. I have been doing this for years. My dad is the one that told me about this, he goes thought this at lest a twice a night. But that is what happen to some that ware c-paps. The body does not have to breath for its self so you go astro tripping more.

I tend to experience SP when i sleep on my back!
But you must be pretty masochistic to want to try it!

This thread is a year old and the original poster hasn't been back in a year either. I wonder if they actually found a way to experiance SP more often?

I've only experianced it once as a teen and I hope to God I never experiance it again.

yeah ive had twice and i dont know why youd want it unless you could alo control whats around you. because its so real, cuz your eyes are open, and so scary cuz your dream,ing. unless your were like seeing pam anderson naked. maybe then youd want it.

I experience it once every three or four months. Lately if it was not too uncomfortable, I tried to use it to induce OOBE's. With this method I was only able to get my astral torso out of my body.

Yeah I really can't think why you would want to do that, I had SP just less than a month ago and nearly scared my girlfriend half to death with noise i was making, there was someone beside me staring down. I tried to move but of course nothing happened so i started shouting until my girlfriend woke me up.

The closest thing to terror I have ever experienced.

You can induce SP through meditation quite easily. It's only scarey if you are not aware of what is really happening( in reality, there is nothing wrong...you are simply sleeping). If SP freaks you out, so would any type of hallucinogen. You do realize the vivid images during SP are caused by a natural hallucinogen right? Look into DMT. If self imposed hallucinations scare you, I could understand why you don't like it. For some, like me, its a free high. Your mind stays awake, while your brain releases DMT(to induce the dream state). What is so aweful about dreaming awake?

WHY? I HATE when I get it. It's awful and it's frightening.
