When I was maybe 13 or 14, my brother Jared (organicmatter01) told me about "speed dreams," and demonstrated the process to me. First you would hyperventilate through your mouth for 60 seconds or so, next take a very deep breath, and then lie down on the floor with your arms crossed over your chest. A person helping would then press down on your arms to put ( Read more... )

Sounds like hyperventilating induced fainting. I don't think it would be much more than that.

Also a seperate way to do this is to use your hands on your neck to basically choke yourself. Breathe deeply in and out until slightly (or very) lightheaded and then hold your breath. Place your hands on either side of your neck, palms inward, thumbs down. Then grip the back of your neck with your fingers and pull the skin of the front of your neck forward with your palms to compress your throat. Holding this for a few seconds will probably cause you to black out ( ... )

I am quite familiar with the feeling you described - it's basically oxygen deprivation of the brain. I've experienced this myself, and caused it to others, during Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Judo training when I wore a younger man's clothes... they're called "blood chokes" in that they cut off the blood flow to and from the brain by various arm positions. Have you ever seen the fake pro-wrestling move "the sleeper"? With a slight adjustment of position, it's a very effective technique actually called "the rear naked choke".

Used normally, it's harmless - but, for obvious reasons, it could cause brain damage if held for an extended period of time. One opponent of mine did experience an instantaneous nosebleed, due to the increased pressure inside the head during the choke.

I think by hyperventilating you are actually raising the amount of carbon dioxide in the blood - that combined with the chest compression basically works the same as the chokes I mentioned.

It wouldn't be a health risk doing it to compare the feelings - as soon as the person lets go you wake up in a few seconds or so... the safe thing would be to do it on the floor so the person doing the choke could lay you down as you lose conciousness, that way you don't fall and crack your head open!

Here's a link to the proper way to do the technique - it's really quite easy and has won me quite a few matches: http://bjj.org/techniques/jen/tech8a/

Be careful.
