Why do I get sleep paralysis so often?

How could you be so confident in a topic that you have never thought about, learned about or put any effort or work into and have no experience with?

You just learned about this topic minutes ago when I spoke about it. 

Why are you an expert? 

You don't know anything about sleep paralysis, what it even is, what hypnagogia is, how that connects to a larger or deeper fullness of consciousness and exactitude of perception, nonlinearity of increased comprehension and truth, paranormal powers, paranormal entities and energies, etc.

That's more integral, comes from Aurobindo, which is where ken got the word integral from.

Also one obviously does not need to have a PhD in integral studies to know that people inhaling smelly bleach from blankets and clothes and stuff could be a problem, but that it has fuck-all to do with anything talked about in this thread at all.

Thanks,

@The Crocodile lol its very common to take substances to assist yourself into a lucid State while you're sleeping to enter a state to hypnagogia. We can extend this to what you're inhaling, can bleach have the same effect? It's not that big of a stretch.

If one enjoys these strange states. Wouldn’t inhaling certain chemicals potentially be a positive thing if it can contribute in inducing those states? Or maybe it’s just bad for health… maybe I sound dumb lol

Also I couldn’t find upon a quick search what you said online, where did you get that info from?

Yes definitely the problem is when you're dealing these things it lowers Sleep Quality and for some people who are more sensitive it, it can cause more disruption(insomnia, waking up many times during the night, light sleep). So in general you don't want to just inhale these substances non-stop. But if you want to use them to induce Lucid States while you sleep then that might make sense but even then it would be better to use a different substance that's not as toxic.

Personal experience with multiple chemical sensitivity.

Makes sense

Ok. In my case I don’t think it’s the chemicals in my enviroment. I don’t really experience bad symptoms. I live in Sweden too and I think Europe has a little more regulations around things

So how it works is that it's a spectrum. It affects everyone, some people its worse than others depending on where you lie on your sensitivity Spectrum and your genetics. Some people it gives them cancer and they have no other reaction to it then that. For example you could be washing your floor with bleach everyday for 20 years and then suddenly at 45 you developed fibromyalgia or cancer, and in the end in that scenario you will never associate the 20 years of bleach to it, youll blame it on something like genetics or bad luck.

Ok I see how that could play a part.

That's a reasonable position to take, I was mostly responding to the other ones who seem to have it all figured out. lol

So i had sleep paralysis probably a few hundred times. Sometimes multiple times a night. And then it just basically stopped. Now i almost never have it. Don’t really remember the last time i had it.
How does that fit into your theory?

It's not black and white like that they're hundred of factors, you could have ate something you're sensitive to. You could have moved to a new house and that caused it to magically stop. You could have changed any number of habits randomly in your life, somewhere around you could have changed their habits that was affecting you without you knowing. You could have changed your shampoo.

There's a million thing that can stimulate someone while they sleep. 

Think holistically...

It's fine if you want to believe that it's all magical spirituality.

I don’t know it’s really hard to say how many times. I’m glad he it went away though. Although the levitating was funny. It’ll probably go away for you too.
I remember the first time i had sleep paralysis actually.
A friend that day was telling me a creepy story. How he was standing in a  park alone infront of a tree at night. Then there was a cold wind and he felt an evil presence on his shoulder or something. And he told me another story that sounded similar to sleep paralysis. How he was in bed couldn’t move and some dark presence pulled his sheets away or something. 
 

And then this night i had my first sleep paralysis and it stayed for quite a while.

I like to have it so I don’t wish for it to go away. But that’s good it went away for you if you don’t wanna have it.

I find the hallucinations reflect one’s inner state so if you’re calm like me you won’t see scary stuff 

The first are usually the scariest

[integral]

I came here giving a possible suggestion, you guys are so hyper fixated on what you think your ideological right answer is it is absurd. I am not playing an ideological game battling my perspective over yours. I'm simply saying a possibility. Part of a holistic multifaceted complex nightmare that is how ever we are intertangled with reality.

No i don’t think it’s magical at all. I said it was a time i took more party drugs and stuff. That was probly the reason. Something with brain transmitter malfunction.
 

 

What’s your theory on fibromyalgia though? Recently my neck had been killing me.
