Energy Flows Where Attention Goes / Managing Your Mind.

Thought I'd just quickly blog my thoughts on the above statement for a couple of reasons. Firstly it's worth bearing in mind if you suffer sleep paralysis episodes and secondly it's effected my sleep recently.

Blogging and reading about sleep paralysis and projection has caused it to appear in my dreams. Somewhat imitating the symptoms of sleep paralysis experiences sometimes. I used to experience difficulty with moving my vision in paralysis and just the other night I dreamt a similar experience but was totaly blind in one eye.

Last night in my dream the symptoms I was feeling led me to believe I was neither awake or asleep and that I may well be out of my body. Fairly excited at the prospect I raced to the window expecting to pass through it and into the street. Instead I felt my hand hit the solidity of the window sill. I can't be projecting I suddenly deduced, but I'm not out of bed either. So I tried to open my eyes to see if I was really concious or dreaming. When I opened them what I saw told me I was dreaming so I again tried to open my eyes. I don't recall If I actually awoke or not.

What you can see from this is that from spending a fair quantity of time thinking about this subject I am now dreaming about having paralysis and projection episodes. I'm dreaming within dreams and dreaming of waking within dreams? It can all get very confusing and how then can you tell if you had a paralysis episode last night or wether you just dreamed about having one. After all anxieties often come out in our dreams too.

The point of all this? Manage your mind.
If you want to avoid this type of confusion and lessen the episodes then simply remember what you've read to help you through and untill the occasion requires it, forget about it. Don't spend hours trawling the net and reading books if it starts to disturb you further.

Once you've read something comforting or enlightening leave it at that for a while. You can always come back to it another time rather than swamp your mind with so much info it keeps churning it over in your sleep.
