re: Sleep Paralysis

I have had many episodes of S.P. but this past year, it has been few and far between. My worst year was last year between late Sept. thru Dec. It seems like I was having them every night. It was so intense and vivid I still, to this day, think about what I saw and wonder where in my brain this comes from. I was never scared though and never saw anything "terrifying". Spooky and strange shite but I never terrified. I refuse to watch that documentary though.

Yeah I've had it a couple times. One time I "woke up" several times in the morning, each time thinking I was actually awake. I would even hop out of my bed and ask my girlfriend if it was real, but I would still be dreaming.

when it happened to me I was just paralyzed and could only move my eyes and right foot a little, couldnt imagine how some people have nightmare hallucinations along with that

True dat. Every time I had it, aliens were involved. With their probing selves.

I get it a few times per year. Sometimes on my back, sometimes not. But I'm one of those really unfortunate frickers that can't just snap out of it. Sometimes I'm completely paralyzed, but I find that there are times when I'll struggle to move for quite some time and will be able to slowly drag myself out of bed/off of the couch - think of it like moving around in an extremely thick liquid where it feels like I'm putting 100% effort to move but my entire body weighs 10x normal.

I don't often get a strong sense of another presence in the room, but there is the psychological feeling of dread. That sometimes last for the rest of the night; just can't seem to shake it.

I also suffer from "night terrors" and sleep walking. Either of those are rare these days but were quite common in adolescence.


I started a thread on it last night.
