 All right, so it's about time I made a video talking about sleep paralysis and sort of how it works What you need to be worried about and what you don't need to be worried about okay? Because sleep paralysis is something that it affects it affects all of us, but in different ways So in a nutshell sleep paralysis is what happens when as you when you go down to sleep when you lay down to sleep Your mind a sort of a part of your mind needs to paralyze your body so that you don't act out all of the dreams You know that you're having if you have a dream about running and you acted that dream out You know you could sort of kick your bed. It could be dangerous. You could hurt yourself You could hurt other people and so your brain has this sort of natural way of Sending a signal to the whole of your body where it just paralyzes it so you can't move. It's very normal It's very natural But a lot of people are obviously sort of scared or worried about this because if you wake up in the middle of that Process between being a wake awake here and being asleep here That's sort of a time lapse of about 10 to 30 to 30 40 minutes I'd say where you're going into sleep paralysis if you wake up in the middle of that process It's scary right because you you're awake and conscious, but you can't move so Yeah, it can happen to some people, but it's nothing to be worried about it happens to all of us normally paralysis will happen to all of us unless you have a sleep disorder The only difference is that lucid dreamers like you and me we try and sort of get in the middle of that process and we sort of Try and keep our minds awake while we go into sleep paralysis and while we fall asleep And that's when it can get dodgy and scary because if you wake up in the middle of it You're sort of half lucid, but you're not quite all the way there You can feel like you're you can't move, you know You can feel like there's sort of a blanket pressing down on your chest like this Or even like a sort of metal Cloth that sort of presses down especially on your neck and throat area It can feel a bit scary right can feel a bit weird The truth is it's nothing really to worry about it happens to everyone The only difference is lucid dreamers are aware of it because we're trying to be aware of it We're trying to keep our minds awake while our bodies enter a dream and while we fall asleep So there are a few things you can do okay You can either not lose a dream at all, which you know, I wouldn't recommend it because lucid dreamers cool Or you can just tell yourself that it's gonna happen and just be ready for it be ready to deal with it or If it really bothers you and you know if you enter sleep paralysis and you don't want to experience it You can actually just wake yourself up and the easiest way to do that is just to close your eyes And then focus on moving a tiny part of you are like your finger or your toe And then after a while move that towards moving your whole hand with a whole foot your whole leg your whole arm And eventually you'll be awake So really there's nothing to worry about with sleep paralysis It's just one of those things that happens to everyone it if it didn't happen, you know, you'd be kicking the bed You'd be pushing your partner in bed or whatever it is, you know throwing your pillows across the room And you'll be hurting yourself or others So it's a natural plate natural sort of rhythm in your body that needs to be there But obviously as lucid dreamers we sometimes experience it. So really there's nothing to worry about Keep practicing keep being you know bold lucid dreamers. Don't worry about sleep paralysis so much And if you are just remember you can always turn it into a lucid dream by practicing the wild technique Right the waking juice lucid dream, which you know, there's other videos I have on that technique just typing wild tutorial and you know my video should be near the top hopefully So yeah, I hope that's been helpful guys. I'll see you next time
