Subject: Lying is correct in this case. Laying takes a subject, sm
Laying is correct if she is laying an egg or laying a baby down for a nap. If you recline, you are lying. Sounds like a insult, doesn't it, like she isn't telling the truth.

The patient was lied flat on the bed
laid or lain? This is my favorite confusion.
I know that with laid you need an object. So is the pt the object? or is the pt the one reclining? which would make it lain. I think....Ahhhh
 This is me in my head right now.
lying centrally
It's confusing because "lay" takes an object: The hen will lay an egg." "I will lie down for a nap." But the past tense of lie is "lay," and that is confusing.
lie present tense
lay past tense
laid/lain past perfect tense
Lying centrally, however, is a gerund, a sort of adjective hybrid. If you made it "laying centrally," you would need an object (the hen and egg business again).

If she laid down a box or other object, laid would be correct. However, in the sentence quoted, lay is an intransitive verb, meaning it does not take an object. Therefore, lay is correct. Laid is a transitive verb and must have an object.
