Sleep paralysis was impossible to abort

[catstorm3]

I had a strange experience last night. I was trying to AP, relaxation and visualization. Then my body sent me the "Roll over" command (lying on my back)(see Lucidology 101) which I ignored for as long as possible.

When I did roll - I was in full on sleep paralysis! I didn't like the feeling - my body felt tense and I instinctively tried to abort - but I COULD NOT! (very weird and uncomfortable). I had to relax, go through the vibes - and land up in AP.

It was most uncomfortable because I could still feel my stressed out body (lying uncomfortably). Eventually I fell asleep in AP.

Anyone had a similar experience ? (By the way I DON'T want advice on how to break sleep paralysis. I woke up this morning feeling like a $1 million having had my second AP in a week).

I too have had this happen and for me it was terrifying. I don't know about you but I was in a total state of panic. It has happend to me several times and I when I try to scream for help to be woke up..nothing. I too was totally unable to abort it. Trying to jerk and roll over was useless. I am glad to see that you were able to overcome it and still have the AP. If this is what it was like for you, I would be interested in knowing because when I had my experiences it was the most frightening thing I have ever been through. Good luck to you in all your future travels!

Yeah it looks like instinctively the gut reaction is to be terrified because you're absolutely paralyzed and can't move a muscle! Its like being in a bad dream and not  being able to wake up.

Thats why I'd like to experience this as as much as possible so I get used to the feeling - I mean it is what I was trying for all along, go figure , and then I instinctively resist it. I was SOOOO glad this morning that I managed to go into it and AP!!!

Just simply knowing that SP is natural will clam you down. Just reassure yourself that everything is fine and the primitive instinct will die out.

Yes, I agree, its a bad idea to abort an SP, its a big window of opportunity instead.
