new to "Night Terrors"?

you're entering the hypnogogic state after waking up and falling back into sleep.

the reason this is happening is your body locks itself automatically, so you don't jolt while you are dreaming and hit your head or something. your body basically assumes you are asleep so it locks you. try when you wake up, take a cold shower or drink cold water or something, then go back to sleep.

What's that mean? It's kind of scary.

>>19129906
It's absolutely terrifying. I can still see things when I open my eyes! It's awful. This has never happened to me

>>19129918
it happens to you, but it never happens to you?

sleep paralysis. I used to have demons violently attack me when I was "Awake" but could not move for the life of me. Sometimes it's like an out of body experience watching over yourself as well. I have had other times where it feels like I am not getting enough air and I wake up out of breath.

It's never happened before. I have no idea what I'm dealing with. I can feel people touching me and grabbing me and I can feel my body in bed but I can see the "dream" I'm still in. I don't know how to describe it but it's very intrusive

I have no fucking idea. That's why I'm asking about it.

A lot of people who get night terrors describe similar symptoms. Waking up screaming, and seeing shadowy people/creatures who invoke a feeling of dread like they're coming to get you.

If you don't like it, try sleeping with cooler bedding. I tend to induce it by sleeping with one too many blankets on. I love it, because it often offers some great opportunity for lucid dreaming practice.

do you have seks in lucid dreaming?

>>19130090
You can but in my experience there's always something strange about it.

>>19130110
elaborate?

>>19130129
I can lucid dream but I never feel totally in control of it. I've had dreams where I start getting frisky with women but I cockblock myself and end up waking up before sex. The few times I've actually had sex in a dream it's like the woman is made of jelly and just squishes and flops all over as I'm trying to bang her.
