Ryan Hurd of DreamStudies.org has announced the release of his new eBook, Sleep Paralysis: A Dreamer’s Guide.

While written primarily to those concerned about or suffering from sleep paralysis, the book is a great read for anybody interested in sleep science and research.  It will be of particular interest to anybody involved in lucid dreaming, as SP is likely to be encountered at some point by most people using lucid induction techniques.

Part 1 is a practical guide to dealing with SP.  It includes immediate and longer-term tactics for breaking the cycles and altering the circumstances often involved with problem SP.

Part 2 is about dealing with what is often the most horrific aspect of SP; the encounters with “The Apparition” – those disturbing specters that can accompany the paralysis.

Part 3 addresses the many ways that SP, once understood and under control, may be leveraged for enjoyment and benefit.  This includes ways to use SP as a transition into OBEs and Lucid Dreaming, along with discussion about hypnogogia and creativity.  The last chapter is a comprehensive discussion about ways to improve the chances of achieving SP, including techniques, supplements and other practices.

Sleep Paralysis: A Dreamer’s Guide is an easy, compelling read.  While the material presented is often in the realm of scholarly theory and research, it is presented in a manner that is accessible and even entertaining.  Ryan Hurd’s writing style is warm and inviting, and the book is beautifully laid out and illustrated.

Ryan Hurd is a dream researcher living in the Pacific Northwest of the US. He is the creator of DreamStudies.org, and is also a dream educator at TheDreamTribe.com. Hurd has a MA in Consciousness Studies from John F. Kennedy University, and is a member of the International Association for the Study of Dreams.

Here is Ryan’s announcement with links:

After a LONG wait, my ebook Sleep Paralysis: A Dreamer’s Guide is available for download.  The attractively designed ebook is a How-To guide for overcoming the fear of sleep paralysis nightmares, and navigating the powerful waters of lucid dreaming and out-of-body-experiences that sometimes come with SP.

Check out the book’s highlight’s here.

Sleep Paralysis: A Dreamer’s Guide is designed to stop sleep paralysis nightmares, and uncover the triggers in your life that bring on the weird nighttime experience of being held down by invisible entities.  But the ebook is also a manual for your journey past the fear and the terrors , which can include realistic visions of ghosts, goblins, and demons.

My approach is holistic, and teaches you how to transform these nightmares into a wide variety of amazing and powerful lucid dream experiences, including ancestral visitations, OBEs, and lucid guided journeys.  This is powerful medicine almost forgotten by modern society but still-well known in many indigenous communities around the world.

Here’s what the dream research community has said about  Sleep Paralysis: A Dreamer’s Guide:

People who suffer sleep paralysis inevitably focus on their fear and discomfort, but rarely do they recognize that this strange experience also holds a huge potential for mind/body growth and enlightenment.  Ryan Hurd, a brilliant researcher and emerging leader in the field of dream studies, offers a brand new perspective on sleep paralysis that provides both practical help and inspirational guidance.  Hurd’s excellent new book gives clear and effective advice about how to diminish the painful symptoms of sleep paralysis, while leading readers to a deeper appreciation of the incredible power of the dreaming imagination – a power that can promote greater health and conscious awareness in all of us.
