In her SP she couldn't breath and would either be totally paralyzed or her mouth would be clamped shut, she would also be aware of a menacing presence sometimes attacking her. She was also keenly aware that she bordered lucid dreaming and could sometimes use her will to change the atmosphere and setting of her circumstances. However she could not master this skill and continued to suffer from breathing problems, which when witnessed by myself showed no signs of sleep apnea(sp?). Finally, one day we stumbled across some smokable DMT, which gave us both a wonderfully spiritual experience. Ever since then her SP has ceased completely, and she has had great memory and control of her dreams (which i am jealous of). They seem to be coming back since it has been a few months since the DMT ingestion, guess i need to find some more. Sorry for the long comment, i just thought you might be interested. I thought you hit the metaphysical nail on the head.Kristennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536455483197919928.post-64625284267691381692009-01-09T15:24:00.000-08:002009-01-09T15:24:00.000-08:00Kristen,Thanks so much for your comment. This is ...Kristen,<br><br>Thanks so much for your comment. This is what R and I am trying to do, get a better understanding in the relation between things that seem to affect our dreams or our sleep in some way. Though DMT may not be the solution to everyone's problems, I am glad that you and your sister had the chance to experience its effects as well as have it help you in some way. I have never used DMT but it does seem to help some in releasing problems. Maybe some type of link of serotonin release during SP and DMT use help unclog some of those excess buildups? Ill look more into it, but not much research has been conducted with DMT unfortunately.<br><br>Again thank you again and leave as many comments you wish.dream dwellersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536455483197919928.post-34535361436660413612009-01-10T11:26:00.000-08:002009-01-10T11:26:00.000-08:00Kristen, Thank you so much for sharing you and you...Kristen, <br><br>Thank you so much for sharing you and your girlfriend’s story with us. It is wonderful to find comments by those who are familiar with both sleep paralysis as well as DMT. You mentioned that she had experienced SP after an incident that involved liver failure. Do you know anything about her dreaming life prior this incident in 2004? In addition, what in your opinion was the reason that the DMT experience allowed her to master her SP? Would you say that the DMT experience was so overwhelming that it gave her confidence to deal with the SP? In any case, thank you so much for your input. <br><br>-Rdream dwellersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536455483197919928.post-84747800554302888752009-01-11T22:22:00.000-08:002009-01-11T22:22:00.000-08:00Oh, and nice pictures L!
