Works best if extremely tired. Lay down and lay perfectly still on your back and arms at your side. keep your eyes closed but stay awake. your body will send signals to your body that you are ready for sleep. these signals include:getting an itch, changing of body position, wanting to blink or move your eyes. YOU MUST IGNORE ALL OF THESE IMPULSES. after about 20-30 minutes you will feel a weight on your chest you may even hear noises. You are now in a sleep paralysis. If you open your eyes you will begin to hallucinate(dream with eyes open) and will not be able to move. Your body is now completely asleep. Now that you are aware that you are dreaming you can shut your eyes and begin dreaming instantly. You are now fully aware that you are dreaming and can now (with some practice) control your dreams.
