Ever since I was a child I've been scared to fall asleep on my back. I find that every time I do I experience a hypnagogic state of sorts, and as my Mother always explained, it's like someone is sitting on your chest. The Old Hag as myth calls it. More-so, if I nap, like I've read in the details of Astral Projection, I find that in a matter of moments I can reach this state where I'm begging my body to move and I feel as though I'm slowly moving my fingers, until finally, and most of the time, I fall out of my bed so the fall will wake me up from this state.
Last night I lid on my back, held up my forearm, and when it dropped I never acknowledged it, but if this was a nap after sleeping I'm almost positive that I could acknowledge it and enter this state full force.
Ever since I experimented with LSD a few years ago I've been craving to learn the difference between dreaming and reality. I know there's some giant secret out there, and I feel like I've spent my entire life looking for it, having had existential thoughts as just a child, for years and years of my life. I also have ADHD and Bipolar II, so my entire thought process is just different than the average individual, I can assure you that, since my thoughts always clash with others. I feel very alone in the way that I think, forums like this give me hope that others are out there to, and from the looks of it, there are many skilled OB-Experiencers.
I feel as though the hardest part of this will be to stop my racing thoughts, though I've always had no trouble falling into a deep sleep within moments.
Any comments are appreciated
