 Sleep paralysis is one of those things that a lot of people don't really understand how it works and there's a few reasons for that. I think a large percentage of people when they hear about sleep paralysis they they assume it's something like from a horror film and that's not really the truth. The truth about sleep paralysis is that it's an essential thing that happens when you go to sleep if you didn't have sleep paralysis if you were able to physically act out your dreams you'd hurt yourself and this is this is one of the crazy things that I don't understand. People just seem to think sleep paralysis is like this terrible scary thing from a horror movie but it's really important because without that sleep paralysis you'd be kicking around you you know punching your walls you'll be hurting yourself. It's meant to happen it's a natural part of sleeping and of dreaming. If you don't want sleep paralysis then there are some things you can do to avoid it or to reduce it but I wouldn't advise them and here's why and I'm going to explain in a second why sleep paralysis is so important and how you can use it to lose a dream but here's why I would not avoid it. There are lots of experiences especially dream related experiences and things like nightmares and things where it might be unpleasant to experience but that doesn't mean you shouldn't experience it in the same way that when you go through life there are things that might you might not enjoy them but they're still important to experience they're an important part of your growth because if you've never had a nightmare then you don't appreciate when you can avoid a nightmare you don't appreciate when as much when you have an exciting pleasure dream or a lucid dream you don't appreciate it as much if you've never had a nightmare and this is just my opinion at least. Now here's how you can turn sleep paralysis into a lucid dream there's a few there's a few ways of doing this okay it's actually kind of easy and when I tell you you're going to be wondering why didn't I think of that because there's a lot of aspect of lucid dreaming a lot of different parts of it that don't have to be as difficult as you're making them most of you are making this hard for yourself you're making this difficult much more difficult than it needs to be here's how you stop sleep paralysis okay to stop it completely you just close your eyes to turn it into turn it into a lucid dream you constantly do reality checks throughout the day eventually they'll show up in your dreams but also you need to visualize being in sleep paralysis during the day set an alarm on your phone to go off every five minutes or so okay and every time it goes off you should lay down visualize or imagine that you're in sleep paralysis and then also visualize escaping that sleep paralysis and becoming lucid in the dream it's a really powerful tip and it's a good way of you know practicing escaping sleep paralysis you should be more worried if you're not sleeping at all because when you're not sleeping your immune system is going to be lower which you know coronavirus and all that is not good to have a weak immune system at the moment you should be worried about your sleep quality oh and if you do want to boost your immune system by the way i'm going to be posting a video soon on my other channel which is transcend your limits which you can find in my channel sidebar thing seriously I'd really appreciate if you would go and follow me there I post I post as often there as I do on this channel by the way so if you want more videos that's that's where you should go but I think one of the reasons people as I'm scared of sleep paralysis is because people read online about stories about horror stories about things like the sleep paralysis demon and I'm sure you've heard of them too right the shadow man the hat man this scary kind of demon figure which appears over you when you're sleeping but that isn't a real thing it's a hallucination or a dream it's a part of your dream or you know your dreaming mind it's not real and there's so many people that are scared of this thing and it stops them from wanting to learn how to lose a dream even though it's not a real thing it's not a real experience it feels real but it's not actually going to hurt you and it's definitely not really in your room with you
