Sleep Paralysis – My First Experience
Saturday, September 19th, 2009
This is a reenactment I made in GMod of what my first ever experience with this interesting little psychological phenomena called sleep paralysis. It happened a couple of years ago when I feel asleep with the TV on in the other room. I have been having them ever since. Usually a few times a month or so, depending on my sleep pattern.
Its a common condition where your brain is literally half asleep and half conscious. Sometimes but not always accompanied by hallucinations, some more terrifying then others.
I have it happen to me regularly and I feel obligated to have such an experience. I know there are many others out there that experience it and are terrified of it, it haunts them and makes it difficult to sleep.
I just want to say stop fearing it, and learn about it. We don’t know a whole lot about our brain and I think this is a huge insight of its power and what it can do. It certainly opens up to lucid dreaming and if you learn to control your fear of it you can have yourself floating around the room or run down your street and take off flying.
Anyways, post comments or video responses of your experiences. I love to hear about them. =]

This is a short, poorly edited video response for anyone “suffering” from sleep paralysis. I feel I know quite a bit about SP (its history, common “symptoms,” techniques for avoiding it, techniques for making it more common, its ociation with lucid dreaming and out of body experiences, as well as techniques for moving from sleep paralysis to out of body experiences and lucid dreams). I started to make a video thoroughly explaining all of this, but realized it was going to be extremely long and possibly for nothing. Didn’t want to spend my time if it wasn’t worth it. Anyway, if you are interested in knowing more, you are welcome to ask. I don’t know everything, but I know how the experiences work with myself and many others.
