I got like 30 minutes into it and I will admit it was actually pretty relaxing, I couldn't really get it to work all that much though.

whats sleep paralysis

when you're still asleep but your eyes are open. you try to move your body parts but you can't, because you're still technically asleep so your body is shutdown. it's pretty horrible.

some people get them + nightmares, which i imagine is even more messed up. they'll see figures walking up to them and they can't do anything because, again, body is shutdown.  

It didn't work for me. The video sped up my heart and made me too hyper. Things meant to be relaxing usually take the opposite effect on me lol. When my mom plays those yoga tapes it makes me more violent than tranquil.

I've had this happen to me once. I woke up and got a drink of water but when I laid down I couldn't move then it felt like I was being sucked into an abyss as the walls and ceilings around me became more metallic and gave off a deathly red glow. It wasn't a dream because my eyes were open and I was afraid to find out what would happen if I shut them. I only felt control of the uppermost part of my body above the rib cage but I was losing control quickly so I was struggling to remain in control by moving as I heard unearthly whispers and nightmares surround me. Eventually I broke free and started gasping for air.

Obviously was a "dream". You're still technically asleep, so you take what you see and begin to hallucinate.  

did this a long time ago. it turned into a horrific nightmare. i was trapped in a house then witches were chasing me to death

and i can't wake myself up

That reminds of some movie with Hayden Christiansen where he goes through surgery but the anasthesia only paralyzes him and he is still awake and can feel the pain.
Sounds worse than death.  

Gonna try this out tonight, I want to be in my dream :o  

I would try this out but I think hearing these people talk about the sleep paralysis and nightmares and junk might just make the placebo effect kick in and garuntee such a thing lol  

the persons robo voice scares me o-o  

I find this concept so interesting, two dreams two worlds.
A world of control, a world of chaos.
A dimension of freedom, a limbo of imprisonment.
It almost seems as if they are complete opposites at some points.
I have not lucid dreamt but I have had sleep paralysis.
I hallucinated and felt as if my chest was being dug into with knives. I heard satanic voices as well, and I felt as if someone was leaning over to my side breathing in whispers.
Even if I would have had the urge to turn to it, my body was a locked casket.
I struggled till my breathing became rasp of survival.
My eyes free of the curse frantically moved side to side searching for an escape.
I tried closing my eyes but they were pinned to my sockets.
I stopped struggling, submitted to the gashes being etched into my chest.
And escaped.

Haha I had sleep paralysis, this was it for me. It was freaky and I was terrified for months I thought it was some satanic thing at first. It's inspiring now. If you get in that situation the best thing to do is realize you are having SP and to relax.  

I wanna do this, but you guys are scaring the **** out of me ... How do you wake up then, when you do?  

Try Astral projection  

i did this, and fell asleep.. .-.  

So is a lucid dream where you control it?

When you are in SP? I experimented this morning (in the light) for anyone who is interested.
If you are like me, and always get up feeling tired let yourself sleep a few mins more, relax your body, and you can feel it falling asleep but keep your mind alert. When I did this my body was not able to move and I was able to watch what was happening the whole time. My eylids were hard to control as well but I was able to move my eyes. Pulling out of SP is the weirdest part for me, the only way I know to explain it is you body feels like a magnet attached to the bed, if you relaxed and try moving you arm (and imagining it peeling off the bed) it usually works.
I am not sure it this will work for everyone but if you want to experience SP without the hallucinations do it in the morning this way.
