RE: Sleep Paralysis: An Unpleasant Side Effect of Lucid Dreaming
yeah you are probably right about 20 mins being extremely rare.
I don't think that sleep paralysis only occurs because of lucid dreaming , I think it is just one aspect to it, like it can be an unwanted consequence or side effect of trying to lucid dream. I'm sure there are many reasons that people experience sleep paralysis. Sorry, if my statements seemed very matter of fact, that wasn't my intention. I'm certainly not an expert on this stuff - more of a student with a few personal experiences to share lol.
So i'm not sure why it doesn't happen to everyone or why it only happens to some.(??)
I understood your statements, I was just pointing out a few things and asking a question at the end. I would want to believe it's a side effect of lucid dreaming too.
I know no one can answer these questions fully. lol we'll all just keep observing and learning.
There are multiple cultures who have observed and lived and still practice being in these states as they are a key to the full unification and understanding of the plane of existence we are mostly living in and with. (See the first comment I just left for leaky20. There are much more.) The sleep paralysis is a natural part of the process of becoming fully aware, thus a bit of a side-effect of learning to lucid dream, as one thing, but also a side effect of meditation, when one gets to a certain depth...
Namaste :)
Yeah, this is true and Leaky20's post supports that too.
ok gotcha :)
Yes I agree that we are all observing and learning
