[QUOTE=DarkSpirit05er;22060249]Well this sucks, I fell asleep. :saddowns:[/QUOTE]
trollolololol
Just tried it last night.
I slept till 11.30 the next morning. (Normally I wake up a bit earlier).
And most of that was dreaming.
Something about a... holiday from hell. I'm getting glimpses, but not enough to build up a whole story.
I tried it and all I accomplished was screaming in pain from a cramp that formed in my leg which is still there to an extent
You should all try again. Do it every time you go to sleep. Last night I got into the hypnagogic state and got all kinds of images and stuff floating in front of my eyes, like random faces and places, heard buzzing and suddenly felt like I was sinking in my bed, but then I fell asleep. I usually get a lucid dream but guess this was one of my unlucky nights :<
One thing I'd like to say is that not everyone is going to have messed up hallucinations. The most I've gotten were those little dust bunnies from Spirited Away, along with some strange shapes but that's about it.
The best thing to do when you encounter something scary is to remain completely calm and relax. Think happy thoughts.
Tried it yesterday. Didn't appear to work as described, maybe because I had not been in a convinient position. But somehow it was warm, I didn't feel very much of my body. Somehow I was scared what would happen. After a couple of minutes I thought "Fuck it, go to sleep". I'll try it again today.
I've had this crap. I was just laying around and suddenly I was in an elevator, a dark one, going down. Then I heard a giant scream and was falling down. I almost shat my pants.
that used to happen to me when i was a little kid. I would get tangles in the covers and i wouldn't be able to move next thing you know i was in SP, the first time it happened to me i was scared shitless but i found out that i can force my body to roll over, waking me up.

I was gonna try this until i read this post. I have an immense fear of elevators. :ohdear:
When I was 7 I got this. I remember just waking up and not being able to move or open my eyes, so I went back to sleep. Didn't hear anything strange.
Every time I tried it I got a lucid dream in which of course I fucked Scarlet Johansson.
I've stopped doing this ever since I came in my pants.
Sleep paralysis?
This is going to be a hit at that blonde chick's party.
Now to buy a vibrator.
This sounds interesting, but...I'm not gonna do it.
I've had this a few times, involuntarily. I didn't like it, and i wondered what the fuck was going on, and i couldnt really get to sleep. Not sure what happened, but I completely forgot that it happened to me, and I didnt remember it until the next time it happened, or till i saw this thread I dont know, I tried last night to induce it, but was unsuccessful.
let me see if i get this.. by inducing sleep paralysis you will later be able to have lucid dreams?
two of my friends have this every time in a while and they told me how it scared the shit out of them the fist time, but was awesome.
Now I am scared to sleep just in case I have sleep paralysis. fuck sake.
I did it last night.
Was pretty meh, Slender man came in but I tried to run and broke out of it :saddowns:
I am totally trying this tonight. :v:

It doesn't happen to me much, but when it does, it's fucking scary. Luckily, the infrequency in which it happens makes it okay to deal with.
I've had a paralysis once I was younger, I was lying in a sofa with a door with a glass window on it and then suddenly someone was trying to break into our house via the door behind me so I paniced and tried to scream and move but it did not work. Creepy as hell.
Oh my f***ing god.
I read this was the way to dream lucid.
They didn't say you could hallucinate!
I have been trying this really much but I keep getting itchy.
I also had sleep paralysis when I was a kid.
I was in a white room, and I COULDN'T F***ING BREATHE!
I also couldn't scream or move!
I think that was my only lucid dream(or nightmare!) I ever had...
When I awoke in the morning (Not in the night, it wasn't a nightmare), I actually nearly lost conciousness because I did rarely breathe, so I think I could have been dead!
My suggestion: don't try this if you love your life!

Anyway, i spontaniously decided to see how easy it actually is to resist scratching and rolling around last night, and it turns out it's easy when your relaxed. Then i started hearing a weird buzzing (me thinking "oh [I]this [/I]is what that skeleton avatar guy was talking about!") then my face started going numb, i didn't actually plan to go through with the whole procedure so i decided to stop there. Then i realised i couldn't move for about 3 seconds. It was pretty cool, maybe because i was relaxed and resisted the urge to panic. Stranglely, for the rest of the night my arms and legs felt really heavy.
It's really cool to actually finally feel yourself going to sleep, usually you just lie down then wake up, it's certainly an experience.
I suppose that if you considered your body to be a machine, the sleep process is a very complicated program, and being able to make your body sleep with you awake is like a bug of sorts. :psyboom:
This happens to me every week.
Also, according to Wikipedia, it is commonly misspelled as hypnogagia like the title name.
It really is hypnagogia.
:words:
:hurr:
Anyways, Anyone know hypnic jerks?
I HATE THEM!
Just as you nearly fall asleep, you startle VERY intensively and jump backwards. IN. YOUR. BED.
I have it 1 to 2 times per night, so that means that I have the disorder version of it.
All people have it, but less frequently. They have it twice a month. (Don't think about 'The monthly thing' :holy:)
Ok I tried it, I had a feeling that bugs and worms were under my skin and eating me from the inside.
Oh god, that was awful.
Never happened to me, tried it last night and it didn't happen either.
I've experienced this several times. It used to be scary as hell, but I grew out of it as I became older. And then when I found out it was a common phenomenon that many people experience, I became interested in experiencing it rather than fearing it.
So after I'd read about it, I had this one dream where I was in some space station or something, with some Japanese guy saying "This isn't because of some phonetic disability. This is because of years of evolution."
I remember those words so clearly because the sheer "what the fuck was that about"-moment caused me to wake up halfway, thus realizing that I was paralyzed with my eyes open and seeing my surroundings.
And then the hallucinations started appearing.
It was as if I could see my real arms lying still, while I could control a "ghost" of them that would respond to my will. As I was toying around with this funky new stuff, it started getting scarier. Shadows started swirling around me and I started hearing whispers and distant screams.
That's when I thought "Fuck it" and woke myself up.
way back in time they used to blame people who actually suffered from this on a demon which would sit on your chest causing you to be unable to move

Skeleton avatar guy :v: it's a junk statue.
If the buzzing was like having an electric razor next to your ear, then you were close to a lucid. I mean, the buzzing is loud. Very loud.
