Sleep paralysis is the best starting point for anyone new to lucid dreams or out of body experiences.
The reason for this is it’s absolutely an unmistakable feeling when you enter it, unlike most other things in lucid dreams which are fleeting and ephemeral.
So what is sleep paralysis?
Sleep paralysis is a protection mechanism your body uses when you fall asleep. It allows you to dream that you’re doing what ever you want, no matter how chaotic or active, and you won’t accidentally move your arms and legs and awake yourself up.
The way it works is it temporarily disconnects your voluntary muscle system from your mind. When this happens it feels like a heavy lead blanket is being laid on your chest and limbs.
This heavy lead blanket feeling in sleep paralysis is because you have to send a much stronger nerve signal than normal in order to get the same muscle movement. When you reach 100% sleep paralysis you can’t move anything at all, with a few small exceptions, which we’ll go over in the next post on how to break sleep paralysis.
After we cover how to break sleep paralysis, I’ll show you why sleep paralysis is the best way to have OBEs without using visualizations.
Then we’ll go over ways to convert sleep paralysis into an OBE or lucid dream

Hi,
I’ve tried going into sleep paralysis state from awake but even though I enter a state that can FEEL like sleep paralysis, I can still move even though I have to put in an extra effort. I have woken up in S.P. in the middle of the night and panicked because I couldn’t move no matter how much extra effort I put in so the previous can’t r3eally be S.P.
When I try to OBE I either don’t fall asleep at all or I don’t get any further than that previous “pseudo”-S.P. or IF I fall asleep I wake up moving either by scratching, twitching or something else that ruins the whole thing. How do I get on from here?
Hi Julia,
Use the methods for turning partial paralysis into full paralysis in the video at:

Partial paralysis is paralysis, you just need to deepen it.
Good luck!
When I was a teenager I was able to learn to use sleep paralysis as a gateway to lucid dreams and out of body experiences. When I was a kid sleep paralysis was absolutely terrifying because I didn’t understand what it was. I thought I was some sort of freak and was afraid to approach adults about my experiences. But as I grew older I started going to the library to research the topic and realized that it was related to other strange, spontaneous phenomena, namely out of body experience and lucid dreaming, that I was experiencing. I soon learned to embrace these skills as gifts rather than abnormalities and have even learned to have OBEs and lucid dreams at will. As I grew into an adult, other concerns took over and I’d experienced fewer and fewer episodes of SP, OBE, and LD. Now I kinda miss them since I spend a third of my life sleeping, and I feel that a lot of that is going to waste if I cannot harness these abilities.
