Paralysis

Long time since I wrote here, but I still kept an offline dream journal. Internet problems. I have mostly been working with <PERSON> audio, particularly the one about progressive relaxation, spiral staircase and butterfly. It was helpful in remembering dreams, but most of the time, I am already asleep before I reach the butterfly state, or I am too carried away by the hypnagogic images to listen to the audio. On the other hand, fairly recently, I downloaded <PERSON>'s audio, Subliminal Lucid 1.0, and listened to it. I listened to it several months ago, but it was a salad case. I.e., I was listening to several others, and doing various techniques at a time. It was the ultimate of shiny object syndrome in LD. Anyway, I wanted to isolate which one is effective for me, coz I did have good results back then. I returned to <PERSON>'s, but after a few weeks, it shows very, very minimal results, even in remembering dreams. On the other hand, it is only been a few days since I experimented with <PERSON>'s audio, and already I had MUCH CLEARER dreams. I can also remember more of my dreams than before. Then again, in one case I drank <PERSON> tea, so I am not sure if that had anything to do with it. I also encountered a freaky sleep paralysis, although it was not as scary as my first one some months back. I am also planning with experimenting with Mugwort. Not tea, coz I heard it tastes awful. I will probably just do a smudging of my room or something. I will transfer my dreams here soon. It is a good time to read them all again and find out if I can see any pattern.
