The tumultuous state arising from various exit methods does not refer to vigilant strategies or other tactics leading to an exit from the body. Exit methods are planned for specific times when a dreamer has entered sleep paralysis but is unsure how to disengage from their physical form. This is precisely the moment when they become ensnared in the midst of vibrations, hear threshold-breaking sounds, are unable to move, and experience difficulty in breathing with a heavy chest. Novice lucid dreamers reaching this phase of sleep paralysis often struggle vigorously to shake themselves awake and unconsciously attempt to return to a normal state.
Most of the time, fear of encountering the unknown hinders dreamers from advancing and exploring their new conscious horizons. Besides fear, the lack of knowledge further complicates matters, as employing a few simple techniques can swiftly transform this state and propel self-awareness into a flight illuminated by a star's radiance. Therefore, the exit methods that follow are only applicable at the moment of becoming aware of sleep paralysis (lucid dreaming) and are not effective in normal circumstances or even during an episode of sleepwalking (although some books and online writings have labeled these techniques as astral projection methods, indicating that the authors likely lack firsthand experience with out-of-body experiences and are unfamiliar with involuntary sleep paralysis).
First Method: Rotation
Attempt to spin around yourself: Instead of listening to various sounds or getting caught in successive trembling sensations, rotate completely around yourself. If during a lucid dream episode of sleep paralysis, your face is towards the bed (lying on your stomach), as you rotate, your face will turn towards the ceiling, giving the impression that you have turned onto your back. It is implied that your body remains in place as the voluntary muscles are paralyzed, and it is your starlight trail that has revolved around you. As you rotate, you will find yourself a few centimeters above the bed, seemingly floating in the air (prior to floating, you may experience profound darkness and silence).
If you happen to be lying on your back during an involuntary sleep paralysis episode, as you attempt to rotate, you will feel sinking into your bed and floating in darkness, shortly thereafter finding yourself in an unfamiliar place.
Second Method: Rope
This method is particularly suitable when lying on your back. Once you have experienced a lucid dream, imagine a rope hanging from the ceiling with its other end in front of your chest. Then, grasp the imaginary rope with your hands and pull yourself upward. Your physical hands remain in their place, and what is attached to the imaginary rope, pulling you out, are your starlight hands. Imagining pulling a rope or anything else in involuntary sleep paralysis is remarkably easy. Just think about it, and you will quickly see the rope (eyes are closed). In this state, you may feel yourself soaring on the ceiling of the room, involuntarily swaying back and forth like a kite launched into the air. (It takes some time to gain control over your starlight form and utilize it like a physical body). Another illusion is finding yourself in a place other than your room: for example, ascending a rock in an unfamiliar location under moonlight.
Third Method: Sliding
If you've attempted to exit the body, you've likely encountered this situation: a part of your starlight form feels outside the physical body, but you lack the ability for a complete exit. For example, your legs may be floating in the air while the rest of the starlight body is reluctant to come out, or you may have pulled your head and chest out, but your legs remain inside. In this state, it feels as if an incredibly strong force has grasped you, preventing you from turning left or right, and a constant ringing bell sound, akin to a train whistle, echoes in your ears.
The sliding method is planned for such moments, although it is generally applicable in involuntary sleep paralysis and can yield results. To disengage from the mentioned situations, turn yourself to the right. With a little effort, your starlight trail inclines to the right, and then smoothly slides out of the body.
Fourth Method: Assistance
This method is highly potent and almost always effective, but the condition is that you have previously experienced the phenomenon of astral projection and befriended one of the benevolent entities during your starry journeys.
To execute this, simply bring the desired entity to mind during an episode of involuntary sleep paralysis and request their assistance. Imagine that they have taken hold of your hands. As you visualize this, you'll feel the presence of their hand gripping yours, exerting pressure, and attempting to pull it out. In this state, without making any effort to exit yourself, entrust yourself to the assisting hand and let your starry friend pull you out of the body.
