Weird sleeping ocurrence!

OMG FINALLY! I have this stuff and i never knew what it was called lol. I tried to explain it to my friends, its truly scary as hell to be laying there and not being able to move, and hallucinating not being able to react with your body is a pain too. I have this happen at least every other night and have no idea what it was called, and i also get it before falling asleep, thanks so much for finding this...you dont even know :thumbsup:

Edit: The most scary thing i have had happen is either hearing an evil laugh (You know, the Muwhahaha) with my eyes open just laying there, and when i was laying there and it looked like there was a bunch of little ghosts beating the crap out of me (and it really hurt :mad:)

One time I when I was living with my parents I thought I woke up and my step dad was just standing there silent and staring at me, and it was scary and I tried to say "what do you want?" and nothing came out and I kept trying to say something and I was getting so freaked out and then I tried to scream so hard and I couldn't scream and then I finally woke up and he wasn't there.

It was freaky

Yes... its the sleep paralysis... i have it sometimes, speacially when im sleeping more than my body needs (i love to sleep)... and really its very scary... mainly when you feel like a "presence" near you... i never heard any laughters, only "felt" that there was "something" in my room... something that scared me... and i coulndt move... i only could wish to awake... then, when i awoke i was shivering, so scared i went... then, awake, i realized that there was nothing (visible) in the room... weird...

damn beat me to it.... i knew that one.... ti's happened to me more than once, and it is actually pretty damn scary.... atleast to me....

i'd be careful about surgeries.... i've read somewhere that those who expereience this on their own have higher chances of actually being awake and feeling durring an operation... but just can't signal or do anything (it's a scary thought isn't it? and it does happen, more often then you'd think... someone goes in for surgery, everything says to the doctors they're out, but really they're conscience and just can't do anything but wait it out) also red heads/people with freckles are more likely candidates as well....

it's called ...anesthesia awareness

An estimated 20,000 to 40,000 patients wake up during general anesthesia each year and about one-quarter of them report feeling pain

Sleep paralysis is a condition characterized by temporary paralysis of the body shortly after waking up (known as hypnopompic paralysis) or, less often, shortly before falling asleep (known as hypnagogic paralysis).[1]

Ive experienced this before falling asleep several times.
My eyes would close as if i went to sleep but i wasnt, i would try to open my eyes but they wouldnt they would just flutter

i really hope it doesnt have anything to do with an evil entity that would suck.

I've had this happen to me many times, and it sucks.

So I'm sleeping, taking a nap, its been a LONG yesterday so I'm a bit beat. I'm napping I have pleasant dreams and all of a sudden I'm awake my MIND is awake, I can see whats in front of me but kind of double vision, I feel like my eyes are still in REM but At this point my body is STILL asleep. I'm very aware of what I'm looking at but I'm willing my body to wake up but it won't wake up and its gets scary because I WANT my body to move but it won't because my mind is still asleep.

i even told myself to slap myself awake took all my will but still my hands wouldnt move.

There was this other incident where I have been sleeping dreaming even that at random points of the dream the thing thats right in front of me, if i were to open my eyes the alarm clock and my lamp, would flash at random points in the dream. At one point I'd still be dream and at the same time I'm seeing the alarm clock and the lamp because my eyes are open so still dreaming all i was seeing in the dream was the alarm clock and lamp so I felt blind the entire dream! So basically the dream is still occurring but all i'm seeing is a lamp and alarm clock.

What is this? Its actually really scary, does anyone else know what it is? :S. I think its called Sleep Paralysis can anyone confirm that?

Has this ever happened to anyone else?

Sounds pretty sexy. :bigsmoke:

Yes, it is sleep paralysis and it used to happen to me a lot- very scary! Try sleeping on your side; for some reason sleeping on your back seems to bring it on. It works- I haven't had another incident since switching.
