Hey, so Im having for quite some time now this problem. I wake up in the non-physical and I'm on my bed laying, having sleep paralysis to be precise, but without fear. So I'm just laying there stuck. First I would like to say is that when I wake up and realize the situation, my body feels twisted. It literally feels like my body is handicaped. My arms are completely turned around and pushed together, my head is stuck on one position, almost as if my neck is broken, my legs feel broken as well and placed onto my back or beside me. I feel retarded in complete meaning of that word. That's the first problem. Second one comes when I'm trying to leave my body. It went from completely easy to almost impossible now. At first I would be floating and would just push myself away with one leg or I would roll out on one side and fall on the floor and proceed to have lucid dream. Now? I'm struggling, I'm barely moving my hands as I'm crawling out inch by inch. I have to grab myself with one arm on bed, another on table and pull out until all of my "body" is free of my physical one. And then I would proceed to go lucid. And here comes the third problem I'm experiencing right now. After I leave my body, my head stays the same way.

So I already said it feels like my neck is broken (while in sleep paralysis). And my view only falls down on my left. I'm struggling, leaving and after I leave, my view stays the same. If I try and move my head and see right and up, I hit blackness and before knowing it, I'm back in sleep paralysis state - laying in my bed. And then I go again, crawling out, struggling, and the moment I try to move my head to see elsewhere (after leaving) blackness shows up and I'm thrown back.

How do I go back to just rolling out of bed? And why does my body feel so twisted? Before, I would wake up (in dream) the same way I fall asleep - on my back, hands beside me, legs stretched out. Now? I wake up upside down, on my stomach with my limbs being everywhere. And when I say everywhere, I mean everywhere. I had my right feet touching my ear the other night while laying on stomach. Like wtf?

Hello

I have few questions regarding my last experience. I'm kinda confused and can't really understand it. Before I put my experience; I always wanted to meet my spirit guide in there and talk to him/them. But so far I was always unsuccessful. I also heard of Angels and stuff, but I do not believe in them as for me, they are part of religion and I'm not religious. I'm not ignorant enough to call something I do not believe in. Even if they were to be real, I can't ask for help as I rejected their existance - it doesn't seem fair. It would be all fine, if I didn't have experience where She, carried my astral body (or so it felt). I felt she wasn't my spirit guide but something else. Unfortunately, back then, I was also ignorant of Her existance, as I was only spirit guide this, spirit guide that. Didn't ask who she is, or her name. Nothing. That's when I promised to myself, that next experience will be about her. I will call for her, whatever She is and talk to her, ignoring the spirit guide. Now, what happened.

I entered SP and after that found myself in front of my house. Same old, I remembered spirit guides and all the ignoring I got so I called out to Her. At first She didn't come at all. Not until I dropped on my knees and places my hands ready to pray. I figured, if she truly was an Angel, that was the way to get her to come. Only then the sky opened up (the hole popped up in my sky) and I could see a lot of them, flying around with wings. She decended down ONLY after this voice allowed her to do so and I was so happy to see She actually came that I had thrown myself into her arms. I asked for her name, but I can only recall the letters, not the order of them. And on the question is She my Angel, I got reply, no, I'm not an Angel, I'm a Nightmare. I wasn't scared at all and I didn't find it weird at that time. It almost felt like my guardian or whatever, is nightmare type. It also made sense for me at that point, because my normal dreams are only horror ones and every single time, it's night in my dream. Even now, I was able to fly, to create everything etc. but was unable to switch moon with sun, to remove that dark cloth of night with blue one of day. Anyway. I have 2 question regarding this.

First one; How do I interpret that She is Nightmare. Like being. Like there are Spirit guides, there are Angels and She is Nightmare?

Second one; What is that voice that I keep hearing. I can always hear that damn voice, saying things, but I don't know where is it coming from. When I called my spirit guide, it was that 3rd perspective voice that said he is not allowed to come. It is that same voice that allowed Her to come and was the one that I felt wasn't pleased with my response. When She told me what she is (or supposed to be ) I was really happy, wasn't scared. I felt this uncomfortability, like that wasn't the response I was supposed to have. And soon enough, that 3rd perspective voice stopped my experience from continuing. It literally feels like it threw me out of my own dream. In every single experience that same voice was dominating. What do I make of that?

That's all  

Hello,

I'll just get straight to the point. I started having heavy dose of LD's in last 10 days, but some feel very different. Let me explain. These 2 scenarios can happen.
1) I fall asleep, "wake up" in non-physical - always sleep paralysis, I'm lying on my bed, roll out of it and I proceed to have LD.

or

2) I fall asleep, I start dreaming I'm awake (while in non-physical I dream I'm awake) then in dream I proceed to go to bed, fall asleep and then I think I "woke up" in non-physical (actually been whole time there), I'm lying on my bed - have SP, roll out of it and I have LD.

Point is, when I wake up, depending on how I got to have LD separates the feeling I have. LD's that I have through the first step feel a lot more vivid and a lot more stable than the second ones. Why? What's the big idea? Why these second ones feel so different? Like, so distant. Any thoughts?

Hi!

So I had experience literally 45min ago (it's 2am here) and I wish to share it. I have some questions. So, I went to bed pretty early. Around 9.30pm. This week I already went to bed this early and actually for first time in forever I slept whole 10-12 hours without waking up! The whole night! Woohoo for me, felt awesome  . Figured I might have it today as well. Well, sure enough I'm trying to fall asleep. Didn't even notice the transition and I found myself in non-physical. How I noticed the difference? Well, the symptoms of my favorite sleep paralysis started to arise. I felt paralysis throughout my whole body and heavy presence on left side of my neck and shoulders. Fear started to kick in again, but I remembered I didn't have sleep paralysis in quite a while, so I decides to go for that method of asking the monster to help me get up. The moment I decided that, the hostility disappeared. Presence wasn't negative anymore. It was actually, warming. And here we go again. (This happened few times before, this time it was "more advance"). My consciousness would start separating from my physical body and I would start going up. Above my bed and far in the sky. I would always feel presence pulling me up. I wanted to go up because I thought I would get pulled up and I would find myself standing somewhere next to my spirit guide. But each time in past, I would go up and fall down. Like I would get dropped down. Well, today, for first time, it actually felt, like my astral body is being moved by something. (It usually felt just like my consciousness floating). This time I felt my "astral body". And it was terrible because, imagine having your physical body out of shape for years. Imagine not moving at all and having muscle fatigue, that's how my astral body felt. I felt like a child. They took my, so to speak, astral body, moved it a bit so it's easier to carry and started lifting me up. This time, I felt their presence stronger. Like my senses got sharper so I could actually "see", "hear" and "feel" more. Few moments later I heard them talking. I could hear them speaking to me. It was she and he. I couldn't see him or her, but she was holding me. She told me to smell her hair so I did. The smell was so sweet. And from that I concluded she has red hair. My senses were stronger, I know, because I don't remember before feeling wind on myself if I'm not thinking about it AND at the same time feeling smell. It's so hard to do that, even in LD's. And he was just there, standing behind, being present. But they weren't my spirit guides. I don't know why I didn't think of them as my spirit guides, I just.. didn't. I asked eagerly where is my spirit guide. Why isn't he showing? She told me, he can't. She said: "He is not available. He is not allowed." I don't remember what happened then, but I asked few more questions for him. I felt my best friend's presence in him. I asked if we could go get my buddy out, because that poor thing can't even dream, let alone have experiences. He said yes, but after they stabilize me. Well, experience moved on and there were bunch of things happening afterwards, but what I want to focus on is that problem with spirit guide.

I had bunch of LD's and each time I called out my spirit guide I got nothing. No response. On start, when my LD's were just starting, I realized I was dreaming and took off. I was in this field of grass and really nice blue sky. That was my first time calling out to him. First first first. Sure enough, after flying around I found some tree I wanted to hang onto to keep myself within LD. That's when I called my spirit guide and he popped out. He is, obviously a male. Has brown hair. He was freakin' glowing so I couldn't see much. I know he was shirtless and ripped. But that's as much as my eyes saw from all the light. It's like there was sun behind him and I had incredible hard time looking at him. As excited as I was, I started to ask him questions. He was telling me his name. It was long, yet short. Well, didn't take long. Soon after, these chains started to rise from ground and wrap around him. That's when I noticed scratches on his body. Like cuts all over and bruises. It was really overwhelming for me. Like an earthquake. I heard 3rd voice speaking. The time is not right. She is not ready. At that point he got pulled and as I said, the sensation was so strong it set me off balance within nanoseconds and I got thrown out of my own LD.

I mean, what's the big idea? I thought, and still am, that spirit guides have free ticket to us whenever we are in non-physical, how come I get these kind of experiences? Why do I dream that he can't reach me? When I woke up now, I felt almost mad because she was there and my spirit guide wasn't. It's frustrating and then it hit me. Who the hell is she? Like seriously, all this time I'm being focused on him, the spirit guide that I completely forgot about her. And she was the presence I felt all this time, pulling me out of my physical body. Anything similar ever happened to anyone else? I don't feel sleepy at all now, and I will probably stay awake till 6-7am. Well, I have to get up at 11am, so tomorrow night will probably repeat this one.

One more thing. This time, when I woke up at 1.30am, after the experience, I wasn't covered in cold sweat. One more woohoo for me!

Hello,

so I'm trying to open my chakras as I feel quite disturbed and stressed. For some reason I lost the confidence I had and it's influencing my personal life. Now, I'm not gonna go talk about that, I wish to know, how does one open his chakras? I've searched forum and internet of course, but I found nothing that made go "oh, so that's it". Meditation is, as some would say, an obvious answer, but how does one do it? Like, how am I supposed to even know is my chakra closed or not?

I've read that special way of holding hands, or some items can help you open chakras, but will they really? I don't understand it and believing in it is also quite hard. If I do something without confidence it will change, what are the odds it really will? It's probably because I'm lacking experience and knowledge on this topic and I'm surprised there isn't some form of "guide" to help you get started. So, how do you guys meditate and open chakras or how did you do it? How do you even know when you opened them? How did you start at the first place?

For meditation itself, how do you do it? Do you go outside or stay inside, do you sit on floor or something soft, do you listen to some sounds/music or not, do you think about things or do you clear your mind?

Hello,

so title pretty much describes my problem. I have lucid dreams and as I want to maintain them, prolonge them and actually make them stable I face problem of waking up. I'm trying to shift my whole conciousness into the non-physical while in LD and as soon as I do so, blackness slowly appears before my eyes and I'm looking into my eye shutters. If I open my eyes at that point I will wake up in physical reality and I surely don't want that. I don't know how to stabilize my lucid experiences because I keep waking up. There are times when I manage to grab onto something in the non-physical, a leaf or some dirt that I hold strongly trying to feel it as much as possible. If I can hold my awareness long enough and fight the blackness I will "come back" to the LD.

Is there anyone else with the same problem? How do you guys handle it?

Hello!

As title says, I'm having trouble with sleep paralysis and everything else that comes with it. I just need some real help here, because I'm losing it. I was never an experienced lucid dreamer, but I had more than dozen of lucid dreams in past few years. Not sure if it has anything to do with all of this, but might as well mention it. Also, I'm not sure when was my first sleep paralysis, I think around year and half ago. All I remember is the fear I felt, because I had no idea such thing even existed. Following sleep paralysis were same as the first one. Just me paralyzed lying in bed trying to move or scream, doing whatever I can just to wake up before my hallucination got me and pulled me away. I lost the count of how many of them were there since the first one. I just remember at one point in time I was afraid to sleep at night because I knew what was awaiting me.

Then one sleep paralysis was quite a better one than the rest of them, because I was able to move my right arm. I read that if you focus on moving one of your body parts you will wake up. I was really keen on moving my right arm, but I was unsuccessful. I failed to wake up, even though I managed to lift my right arm. It was almost as it was glowing, but it all lasted like 2 seconds. Next thing I tried to do is close my eyes, count to 3 and wake up. The moment I closed my eyes I got this feeling like I was falling. It was almost as my legs went above my head and I was falling down the pit. It scared the living sh*t out of me, and in that moment, I had to choose between that feeling of falling upside down and hallucination I knew wasn't real. Of course I opened my eyes. I was able to move my head a little bit and raise both of my arms. I tried around 4 times to wake up by moving hard or closing my eyes, but closing eyes just got me the same feeling so I decided to keep them wide open and waited until fear literally chew me from the inside out.

After this, nothing was the same. That's when I first heard of the OOBE (this happened like 2-3 weeks ago) but I understood nothing of it. Neither did my best friend. He read about it, but understood even less than I did. But at least, this time, I was prepared. Now I knew what I have to do in case of sleep paralysis. I felt at ease because I thought that I could go from sleep paralysis to lucid dream. (I thought that OOBE/Astral projection/Lucid dream is all the same thing). And I read about this peaceful place, about this sensations people feel when they go OOBE, was feeling pretty good. This is where the mess really started. Not only that my sleep paralysis got worse, it ALL started happening in my room.

A week ago, I had a sleep paralysis. I was like okay, I got this, I have to calm down and let myself fall. But there was nowhere to fall. I wasn't falling when I closed my eyes. And to make things worse, my sleep paralysis was repeating. I don't really know how to explain it better, just I had sleep paralysis with one hallucination and when that hallucination got me, instead of waking up, it was like sleep paralysis got reset and it would start happening all over again, but different hallucination. Sometimes there weren't hallucination, just these unease feelings of something being there. (But not once did I hear a sound). After 11th time of repeating, I stopped counting. I was so scared of not waking up that I wanted to jump out of my skin. I still get the chills when I remember that fear. I felt that one to the bone, I can tell you that. That was the worse I had. I woke up in cold sweat. It happened from 4am to 5am and I was already sleeping for 8 hours. After waking up, I decided to sleep for a bit longer. That day I slept for 20 hours.

After everything that happened, I understood even less. That's when I decided to really sit down and read about this, because things were getting out of hand and I don't want to be a 19-year-old who is afraid to sleep at night. I started reading about this low frequency beings, about Astral plane and things that are supposedly not happening in my head. What a mistake. Right now, I have this huge mess in my head, because I can't make a difference of what is happening. Right now, every night I go to bed, I'm aware of myself and I'm in my room. All my dreams are starting in my room. I dream of having sleep paralysis. My lucid dreams start me being inside my room. Everything is happening in my room right now, even normal dreams.

Few days back I had sleep paralysis, or at least I thought I did. It felt like I was dreaming a sleep paralysis. Well at least I think I dreamt it. I don't know, but this is how it went down. I woke up in fear, again, lying on my bed. I tried to calm down and get our or go lucid dreaming. I wanted to escape the hallucination I had. I have a blank there, but somehow I got up and escaped through my window. I started running towards my friends house. (We have this deal, so I'm trying to reach his house). It was dark normally, my street looked the same, but street between our houses was different. We read that memories of people can collide and we might see different things on places, I don't know, I think my head was messing with me. Before I could cross the road, this man, long black hair, no face (was black), in black clothes grabbed my hand and literally threw me back into my bed. So, I was back inside my room, lying, unable to move. I felt the hallucination, I could not see it, but I knew it was there. I was scared senseless. This is why I think I dreamt it. I felt strong wind blowing inside my room, almost as tornado. It blew my bed into the air (to the ceiling, was still inside the room) and me along with it. I was unable to move and at this point I just lost it. I couldn't beat the fear, I just couldn't. Nothing was happening that I read it should happen. It almost felt like I was being toyed with. I was being tossed around the room, unable to move. That was the worse part. I knew I was either dreaming or being in sleep paralysis. I knew nothing of that is supposed to be real and that I can take control, but I was still unable to change the theme of the dream to me sitting on grass under the rainbow with unicorns running around. I just wasn't able. Then I woke up. Still feeling scared. I grabbed my phone to get some light in the room. My phone wasn't glowing. I was like okay, I will just turn the light on. I got up, still feeling pretty scared, turned the light on, but I couldn't see the light. Like my eyes were unable to see light. That's when this huge shadow just went right through me and I woke up. This time for real. I just remember thinking myself, will this false waking up thingy keep happening, because I swear that was one realistic dream.

Somewhere inbetween I also had this weird waking up. I woke up, guess what, I was paralysed, again. Yey. But I felt no fear. I actually thought I woke up. But why wasn't I able to move? I decided I will move and reach upstairs where my parents are. I literally crawled up from my bed, holding onto everything I could reach. I felt like I had rubber on my back and it was pulling me back to bed, but I wasn't gonna give up. I barely moved walking towards my door. That's like 2m away from my bed. It felt like I was walking through bottom of the ocean, like there was a blizzard in front of me, how hard was it to move. I was stuck on my door, holding really hard so I don't fall back. I knew moment of hesitation and I was right back in. That's what happened, I thought of getting pulled, like I relaxed for 0.1sec and I was back in bed. So I crawled up again, this time, towards my chair. My room was the same looking, I thought I wasn't dreaming, I didn't understood why I couldn't move.

Not once in last month did I have a normal dream and even when I did, it was inside my room. I've read about this spirit guides and inner self which seems quite interesting. I can keep on going on about different experiences I had in past week, but I already wrote a lot. I'll just finish this with the thing that happened today. I woke up, in my room. Today, I wasn't scared, because I read I can call for some help if it's happening for real (if I'm not dreaming, but actually having Astral projection/OOBE). And of course, I immediately called out. I wasn't shouting help, I just tried to call up with my mind (does that even sound sane??). Either way, this deer showed up. We started talking and it started acting like a dog. I was still lying on my bed, when it went on and laid next to me. I remember thinking myself am I dreaming this, what should I do and I actually let things go their way. At one point this ball looking creature showed up. It started attacking us and "so-called" spirit guide couldn't do sh*t, so I was lying there in fear again, being messed up with. When I woke up, I was pretty sure it was just a normal dream (even I was aware I was sleeping). So, why did I wrote this is because I can't stop it.

Like I already said. Everything happens inside my room and I'm really, really tired of feeling scared almost every single dream. I've been having nightmares for years, but they don't even come close to this when I can't say am I dreaming or am I not. I just want it all to stop. I need it all to stop. You know, just one damn night if I can just go to bed and not dream of anything, without waking 3-5 times during night and feeling rested in the morning. How do I stop this? I don't even know what is happening, I just want my normal nightmares back. This is getting apsurd and tiring. I can't even share it with anyone because who would believe me when they don't even know you can do lucid dreaming. Feels like I'm stuck between normal dreams and astral projection. I don't care which way I have to go to get out of this mess I am right now, I just want to get out

Sorry for the loooong post. Thanks everyone who took their time to read this and even write a comment. I highly appreciate it.
