Why do I get sleep paralysis so often?

Or lucid dreams 

Irregular sleep patterns, sleep deprivation, and for me sleeping in, can contribute to getting sleep paralysis. Then what I do to astral project, sometimes it’s spontaneous but I kinda focus my attention on some location outside my body then I will separate and float towards there, then I can float outside or to other rooms

I like it. I can float up until the sky, or under the ground, where it looks dark and like inside of a mountain. I can float around the neighborhood. It usually lasts only for a short time, I don’t know why, maybe I need to master it more, but I tend to reach a point very quickly where I return to my body or wake up or something

In my case it appeared without wanting it, i was tired and sometimes confused, in the morning i felt a vibration on the side of my skull before feeling myself "leaving" in a kind of lucid dream or astral travel, hard to say, and i came back to reality in a panic most of the time.

Something like that happened to me two weeks ago, i was conscious enough to play at getting closer to the dream or reality consciously, it was weird because focusing on the dream made me come back to reality and to get closer it was a more twisted effort that i do not control.

When I have slept more than I need I can get sleep paralysis.

Yes but you you're not normal you're an alien.

So maybe that’s because I’m laying down and my brain thinks I’m asleep but I’m well rested enough so I remain awake and have sleep paralysis. Due to my brain being in a awake state and maybe having those “conscious” neurotransmitters you mentioned 

Yes

That makes me wanna try sleep deprivation lol

Worst rabbit hole 😅 smokes changa instead.

Cool didn’t know. Seems there’s a link between the science and spirituality. 

Low glutamate feels like severe depression (or on the contrary great comfort, it's very individual) where things seem unreal, looking at a cloud in the sky seems cartoonish or something.
High doses of Ketamine are one of the strangest feelings in the world, with this feeling of unreality and distance.

High glutamate feels like a manic, excited state with an attraction to order, hygiene etc and possibly some sociopathic behaviors.

The vibrations spinal cord thing made me think of that, but maybe it has nothing to do with it of course.

I have experimented with it a bit. 

This is a failed case since I didn't continue with it, but I could return to it later.

Basically I am meditating with pranayama and trataka and other weirder stuff for seven hours everynight.

 

I was inspired because Sri Aurobindo in the Alipore Jail fasted for ten days and would only sleep every three days.

and that's when this was:

 

Food deprivation probably increases serotonin because of the lack of calories, and the use of ketone bodies is supposed to make you feel a little more "drunk".

Interesting . Can I reach that state without sleep deprivation or psychedelics ?

I don’t need either or them to reach it. It happens spontaneously for me. Recently it can be in the morning when I sleep for longer than I need

She will soon be able to spy on me in front of adult films, so not for everyone.
Besides, imagine that i am already spied on in this way.

What a filthy egregor.

Did this happened laying down resting or being up and going?

The spinal cord is maybe connected to the chakras, the energy centers. So sleep paralysis vibrations maybe is both neurological and spiritual. It was during them I heard that female voice tell me something.

Jokes aside I actually tested this during the astral projection. I floated around my apartment to try to spot a detail on my mom for example something she says so I can then wake up and tell her I heard it. It didn’t work though because what happens was that I saw things that weren’t there so while my mom was in her room instead I saw her in the kitchen so it seems that the astral world isn’t exactly like the real world

They are both different ways to conceptualise the same phemonemon.

The "astral world" in this case will be a different frequency, what is projected will be different from the usual maya for your ego. Technically i think it would be a mistake to think you could spy on someone via the astral plane from a non-dual point of view, it would in fact simply be clairvoyance, and clairvoyance of a frequency, of the usual ego which is not the case here. 

If what i say makes sense.

I don’t have clairvoyance so that makes sense I wouldn’t be able to do that. I don’t know what it has to do with non duality though

Because saying that your mom was in the « wrong room » tacitly suggests that there is an objective world and an imaginary, subjective one.

From a non dual pov it’s the relative world who is in consciousness which is a priori absolute.

I wasn’t sure which subforum to put this in but I figured this would be most suitable.

It’s not important for me to know this but it just makes me curious. In my life I’ve had probably upwards of 100 episodes of sleep paralysis. There was a period a few years ago where I would have it really often. And recently I’ve had it too very often. For example this morning was crazy, I had maybe upwards of 5 separate sleep paralysis episodes, with astral projection several times and hallucinations. I can also get intense vibrations, feeling like energy shooting up my head etc. Once my head convulsed. 

I wanna point out that I don’t find sleep paralysis scary, I have maybe been scared twice or something in my life because of it. I don’t get scary hallucinations, I find it somewhat fun to explore it especially astral projection. 
 

I also don’t have too irregular sleep patterns. I can sleep for a long time if I don’t work for the day, so maybe that’s a factor. I don’t have problems falling asleep. 
 

There's a shaman that I personally consider legit claims that certain non physical entities that can cause sleep paralysis.

Once a guy told me if you get a lot of sleep paralysis it can mean you have an “old soul”. I haven’t found any additional info about that. 
 

I'd believe if it turned out you're an old soul. My gut feeling is you might even have a certain activation of light in you that causes you to become visible and magnetic to disembodied spirits. That would explain the frequent sleep phenomena. The downside of it is that these spirits which are often parasitic can clog your system and it would maybe explain why your energy is so suppressed/down sometimes.

I've been having some astral projection experiences recently aswell. I like it how my body is electrified with energy when I come back lol.

I don’t know about that. What I lowkey believe though is that you can encounter spirits and entities during sleep paralysis that are real and not your imagination. I’m sure it has happened to me at least once.

I believe it too. What do you mean by disembodied spirits? I don’t believe I have outside influence influencing my system

Not necessarily energized. Electrified, like sticking a pin in the electric socket.
