Guys. guys, Sweet onion, I respect the Med community alot. God ...It is a gift from him the knowledge etc.... Quacks? we all have heard of nut cases steering people with serious or otherwise whatever medical conditions, away from appropriate med resources. look, I was totally clean, from '86' to '93', my experiences occurred from '83' to '90'. always in conjunction with a very spiritually jacked up individual I was working with at the time. These are spiritual pathogens that seroquel won't fix, other than simply knocking them OUT, to where nothing would reach them. Please Please....Chill for now ......lets see..
Quik edit,
Oh, I followed my own post. wow During the time that I was posting my previous. well look at the time at each of the respective posts. I thought this thing on fire well.....God save the Queen, I'm in Eng. time know....

.I regret putting the brakes on this. I would like to see all of your feedback. Mareejr, has not been back since she posted this the same day she joined. I still think that the poll in the Sexual forum could potentially yield some interesting things....... I hope she comes back.

All of this has been very very helpful. I am not sure what I am going to do about it, most likely nothing, but all of these replies have helped immensley. As for these things being caused from smoking weed, well that isn't a possibilty. Call me a poser, but I haver never smoked, ever. I come here because I know the people on here honest and have very interesting things to talk about. Nothing has happened since the last time. I am just waiting...

Oh, and in my original post I mentioned something about my grandmother standing next to me waking me up...she isn't dead...I didn't think I saw a dead relative or anything, I was staying at her house...I dunno if this even matters, ha.

I know exactly what you're going through. I used to have it happen to me all the time myself. It's scarry as hell until you understand what it is. There's a mechanism in the brain that renders us immobile so we don't get up and act out our dreams. I've even seen video of a cat where this mechanism was severed. The cat was up hissing and scratching with it's eyes shut...sound asleep.
When it gets freaky is sometimes you're at the threshhold of sleep and awake. You can have your eyes open, but you're half asleep, and you can literally dream things into the room. The first time this happened to me I thought demons had me pinned down, and I was hearing all kinds of wild noises. Another time a giant bat flew into my room and I was immobile and couldn't fight it off. I wasn't going out without a fight and all I could do was spit, so I was ferociously hockin' loogies at the bat! I finally came to with slobber all over my chest...lol
Usually this happens in adolescence when you're going through a lot of brain chemistry changes. It can be caused by stress or fever too. It's nothing to worry about any more than a nightmare is, so relax. You'll know what's going on next time and it won't be so scarry. Ever wonder why it's so hard to remember dreams? It's a chemical reaction in our brains on waking so that we're capable of distinguishing reality from a dream. Our physiology is looking out for us, but sometimes it doesn't function as properly as it should.
It is interesting to note that in most of the ghost alien abduction stories I've read, the situation was ripe for, or identical to sleep paralysis. It's a phenomenon that's probably responsible for a lot of our cultural mythology.
So you're not going crazy and you're not being attacked by spooks. If it's a real problem you might try changing up your sleeping habits and avoid caffeine n' such before bedtime....hope this helps..

The first time it happened to me, I freaked out. A woman overheard me talking about it to a friend of mine and said she was scared for me...so I was freaked out even more. But now that I see that this isn't that strange, well it is, but that other people have had experiences similar, I'm not so scared. My sleeping habbits are horrible, I work thrid shift so I am up all night and sleep in the day and sometimes I just never go to sleep. And like everyone, I am always dealing with stess. It's so nice to finally know that I am not totally insane! It's all actually very intriguing to talk about and to hear about other's experiences.

Sleeping during the day? There's your problem. All this stuff happens during the light stages of sleep. Many of my experiences were during naps. We just weren't designed to sleep during the day and with all the light and noise you're kept on the cusp of wakefulness where all the weird things happen.
It is intriguing and if I hadn't thrown myself into figuring out what was really going on, or I had been born in a more primative time, I would be swearing that goulies n' ghosties were after me because I had seen and felt them with my own eyes.
If you have to sleep during the day you'll need to make your room completely dark and quite, and adapt yourself to this cycle. If they don't go away at least you know what's going on and you don't have to be afraid of them. I've gotten to the point where nightmares don't really scare me anymore and I actually play with them a bit. They can be clues to what's really bugging you and pretty good self-therapy if you want to take the time to really consider them.

The reason for hallucinating while you are asleep and feeling weight on your chest like your dead grandmother is sitting on you...
It's called sleep paralysis.
It happens when you're under a lot of stress.
It is VERY common in Japan (#1 stress country go figure) and they call it kanishibari
In old times they say kanishibari happens because spirits are trying to take control of your body or some shit like that. So what spirits do is sit on top of you to stop you from breathing so they can take over you.
Many describe the 'aura' as evil or unpleasent.
It happens very rarely..
I doubt you will face it again unless you are under a lot of stress.
Nothing religous happened, but religous people believe monsters are trying to possess them.
And many artists drew paintings of kanishibari.

This is why I personally believe it is related to your sleeping habits, as others have pointed out. It is probably just sleep paralysis accompanied with stress. I would still recommend seeing a psychiatrist or seeking other medical advice. This alone can help with your stress issues like you wouldn't believe. I don't think you are schizophrenic or anything, even though it does show some of the symptoms. However, you seem to only experience it during your sleep cycles, which is why I believe it to be sleep paralysis.
