Re: any of you ever experience this:sleep paralysis

I have had the paralysis part happen to me quite a few times. Just recently, I woke up immediately from a nightmare and saw a figure standing over my bed in the reflection of my t.v screen. Scary stuff >.<

wow that would scare the **** out of me if that happened.

Re: any of you ever experience this:sleep paralysis

I once slept walked downstairs all the way to the other side of my house and woke up on the ground where my dogs were sleeping, I wondering how I could have done this, is this that sleep paralize thing?

This is sleepwalking. My friend has done it while he was over at my house

Mom:"Where are you going, Spencer?"
Spencer: "Eh heh... I wanna go play Runescape."
Mom: "No You should probably get back to bed."
Spencer: "EH ok."

He was sleepwalking. He does that a lot.

But yes, I have had the sleep paralysis. I have seen a ghost walking out of my door and a demon rushing towards me. I could have sworn I was awake and I tried to scream but I couldn't. It is pretty damn terrifying.

Re: any of you ever experience this:sleep paralysis

Yeah, I've experienced this before, quite a few times. It's always the same figure too. I can never make out all of the details.

It's usually a man with a dead face, dead and green. But his face is impossible to see, so it just looks like a dead green blur.

Pretty interesting stuff.

Once, but I didn't see anything.

Re: any of you ever experience this:sleep paralysis

This happened back when i was trying to lucid dream, failed attempts suck, lol... Its because of some chemical your brain stem releases so you dont actually get up and act out your dreams. If you slip from the dream world into that half awake, half asleep kinda thing, you are conscious, but the chemial is still being released. As for scary monsters and crap, thats probably just what you were dreaming about.

Re: any of you ever experience this:sleep paralysis

Dudes like all the time at school in fact today during my 3rd hour (english class) i was sleeping and when i woke up i was there but not able to move and then i twitched like none other. This only tends to happen when Im sleeping on desks at school. Maybe some type of bend in the spinal column activates it in some people or Im just crazy

I think it's when you sleep in a place unfamiliar to you, and yeah maybe in a position you're not used to. Like a car, class, etc.

Re: any of you ever experience this:sleep paralysis

This happens to me whenever I sleep on the couch. It's helpful to induce Lucid Dreaming because its easier for you to realize that you're dreaming. The only thing is that you can't start panicing because then you'll loose your focus.

Re: any of you ever experience this:sleep paralysis

I had this all the time. Hallucinations are mildly rare, but they do occur because of the half asleep half awake thing. It's more common to have heightened senses (olfactory/smelling, hearing mostly). It's really rare to have a falling sensation (not the common one). It was one of my speech topics in college and I wrote an article about it in high school.

Don't worry though--it's merely a little harmless torture.

No, sleepwalking is different from sleep paralysis conditions (although technically, you really are paralyzed when you sleep). You are a somnabulist. :0


I've heard of a story where someone sleepwalked and did this: drove several miles with his car and then murdered someone. Haha. I find that pretty far-fetched.
