I have no clue. I love to dream - but lucid dreams that kick off with SP - I do everything in my power to wake up. I have experienced some things I could have done without seeing.
Same boat. When I feel that onset and for me it's like I'm sinking..almost like a quick Sand or something. Or like I'm melting away and losing myself and not sure if I'll come back.
And I used to meditate. I never really used to try and quiet my mind but it was more of a focus of what my body was feeling and sensing inside and out. And if i listened hard enough if I could feel my presense if I was actually elsewhere.
I used to meditate on this hill. In the middle of the night. The two experiences that stood out. I once had a weird sensation that there was something in the field. I got up to look around. Searching. I didn't know for what. After some minutes I was like maaan this some wild goose Chase. Let me make a deal I'll follow that white butterfly and wherever it goes I'll check there and thats that.
Well it went on its merry way and I followed it some feet away. Went the other side of the hill into some trees and Bush. Disappeared somewhere to the left in them. I dipped in to check where it went. And there it was. A big black duffel bag. Didn't know what was in it. At the time I was poor and trying to find myself and didn't have much material things. I opened the bag and found a bunch of clothes. At the time I needed some and it was weird like the universe had left it there for me to find..or i stole it lol....
Second one I was listening to my body again. And trying to sense things around me. And I was at the top of the stairs in the same quiet hill and for some reason a couple came up and my eyes were closed and I didn't expect them but their presence was so loud even though they hadn't made a sound that i yelled out WHOA! Totally panicked.
Going into sleep paralysis I get the same freaky feeling like somethings there. I dont like that feeling like what I'd imagine itd be like to go into a coma. I'll just stick to normal dreaming. Even if it's lucid dreaming I don't think I'm going to actual spots like area 21 or the moon or whatever. I'm just imagining and dreaming I am if I did.
