Sleep Paralysis - The terror in the night

I've experienced it a few times. I dont recall feeling like someone was in the room or hearing footsteps.

I always believed it had something to do with alien abduction. Like the aliens returned me to bed before their paralysis effect wore off.

This has happened to me a few times

The 1st time it happened I thought something was trying to pull me out of my bed & I couldnt move or say anything , I was pretty scared , I didnt have a clue what was happening

Now if it happens , I just chill & go back to sleep

Carl Sagan's Demon Haunted World had bits and pieces which dealt with our visions as we lay between the dream world and being awake - mainly that many religious visions have been replaced by alien visitations, but both being mistaken for a reality while the visionare has been still asleep.
Never experienced it myself - I seem to wake up too quickly. I do find myself sometimes waking up suddenly when I am just falling asleep because it feels like I am falling or because of a "sleep paralysis", but this is a more natural occurrence that happens when the mind "panics" when the body becomes totally relaxed just before sleep, mistaking that total relaxation for falling.

This has happened to me a few times and from what I remember is that I woke up short of breath and in a panic....I thought I was having a heart attack. The scariest part of the whole thing is that I distinctly remember trying to wake up out of it by tossing the covers off me and I couldnt move at all!
Scary shit, thanx for posting this! :thumbsup:

Yea, I remember on my first ''trip'' I sort of panicked as I had no fucking idea what was happening ... was I having a stroke at an early age ? was I this ?... was I that ? Why did it seem like I was being suffocated ? Did the devil come up to do me in ? Was the earth just tossed off of it's axis ? How could I be so cognizant of the situation yet be so helpless I thought.:confused::dunno:


Then, the next 2, 3 and 4 times it has happened, all many months apart BTW, I not only chill but I try to "investigate" while in the midst of the ''trip'' just where the hell Jerry Garcia went with all of the narcotics ! :mad:
.:hammer:
:helpme:
 
I've had a few experiences like that, but in my dreams they've been like elves or goblins even demons, then I "wake up" and I see I'm back in the house where I grew up not in my current home. The mind works in mysterious ways I guess. I'm well aware it's all just a hypnagogic hallucination so I just shake it off and go back to sleep.

Things I've experienced in this state(no joke):
--Floating above my body, looking down at it in bed.
--Ghosts, including an old woman in a rocking chair, with a little girl standing beside her.
--Intense acceleration, being pulled backwise.
--Hellish figures and sounds, as if I was being pulled into the abyss.
--People coming upstairs, turning on the lights and starting a party, music included.
--Something getting into bed with me and touching or caressing me.
--Acceleration, followed by being placed into towns, shopping malls, etc. that I have never been to.
--Songs playing that I have never heard.

So you didn't feel the unwelcome sensation of my engorged cock nudging at your unwilling anus?

I've never had any of the hallucinations, but I actually suffer from sleep paralysis quite often during naps (and sometimes during night sleep). I can remember it happening to me when I was a little kid; this one time that seemed like forever I was "frozen" and it just scared me shitless at that age. It can still be pretty scary now. Even though I know what it is, I still feel that sense of panic sometimes.

One time last fall I had the radio on while I was taking a nap, and I had one of these episodes. "Sunday Bloody Sunday" by U2 was on, and it wasn't even that loud. But while in sleep paralysis, it sounded like it was up all the way. By the time I could move my arms to turn the volume down, I realized it was already at a low level. That was weird as hell lol.
