How can you control sleep paralysis so you enjoy it? I'll experience it about once a month and theyre scary.

In my experiences of sleep paralysis, I always feel like something evil is trying to hurt me or strangle me. Sometimes I have OBE's and I'll either hover over my body or sit up out of it. I would like to make these experiences more pleasant and possibly induce having an OBE.How can you control sleep paralysis so you enjoy it? I'll experience it about once a month and theyre scary.
I started having these episodes during college and periods of high stress. Mainly they were very disturbing and left me very exhausted and stressed out and worried for the next few hours after an episode. I got to the point where I was afraid to go to sleep because I didn't want to have an episode. Basically, you have to remind yourself as you're going to sleep that you are supposed to pay attention and if and episode/dream happens, then you should remind yourself that you're asleep and try to guide the experience to a more peaceful place mentally. I think it comes down to simply being aware of what you want to accomplish in your sleep...rest and peace. Then, when your conscious mind wakes up but your body is paralyzed, you ';pick'; your dreams and sortof ';write'; the dream like you'd write a play. then, that gets boring and you fall back into a more peaceful and restful state!





I finally decided that I would be the one to be in charge (control freak in me!) of my sleep and dream life. I found a book called ';Lucid Dreaming'; and it was very helpful. This was 15 or 20 years ago.





I mainly don't have these episodes anymore. But, if I get sleep-deprived or am up and down all night with sick kids, I will usually have an episode. Now, they don't disturb me nearly as much as they used to.





Good luck - everyone deserves a peaceful's night sleep.How can you control sleep paralysis so you enjoy it? I'll experience it about once a month and theyre scary.
This is actually a very common thing. My boyfriends mom has sleep apneia (sp?) and we had to take her to a sleep clinic for study. Well, while we were there I was asking the sleep tech some questions about sleep paralysis, what it is, and how to get out of it, because my boyfriend gets it quite frequently and he can't get out of it sometimes. First off, Sleep paralysis is technically your body still in a dream state. Althought that you are semi conscious and able to look around a little bit without being able to move your head, your brain and body are still sleeping. He also told me, an easy way to wake yourself up, if you can is to focus inside on the core of your stomach if you can do that, and for some reason that will make you wake up, so you can come out of that state. He told me that usually while your brain is expelling all of that information while your sleeping, otherwise dreaming, and you are semi-awake you may see shadows, or hear weird noises, and will not be able to move. Your body shuts down in sleep so you don't move around and harm yourself for a reason!





I hope that helps you out!
It's quite common to feel scared after these experiences. I used to have them until I read about ';self-suggestions'; before falling asleep. You basically just remind yourself that your mind is not to wake up before your body, that you will sleep peacefully through the night and wake fully in the morning. Worked for me!
Ummm... Try going to be on a regular time schedule. Also, learn to fly in your obes lulz.
just think its girls **** choking you.
