Sleep Paralysis

[Empathyfaith]

 

This is scary as shit. ;_;

 

I'm at around 4 minutes. Anyone (If you want to post) have Sleep Paralysis often?

[NotoriousPP]

Dude I have this every morning multiple times as I'm trying to wake up.

 

Most of the time it's my fault, I wake up slightly, and go back to sleep just to find myself in sleep paralysis. It's a scary ass feeling at first, like literally uncomfortable to the max, though as the years passed I've gotten more accustomed to having it. Now I'm able to stay in it and usually fall back asleep without having a need to wake up, or if I know I need to wake up, I have little things I do to wake up. For example I wiggle my feet, try to scoot my arms to the edge of the bed so they fall off the side and wake me up, to trying to get enough energy to roll over to my back when laying on my side.

 

I've had this since I can remember, but I really got worse when I started trying to lucid dream, though by practicing lucid dreaming I was able to overcome the fear associated with having it.

Thanks for sharing man. I'm trying to see what people feel and how it's like, also sort of let other people post what they feel. I've watched a video of someone recording it, you'll see the person as if they're sleeping and not awake, then they open their eyes and they go back to sleep but in reality to them it looks like there's someone there.

Sorry if I'm making anyone feel uncomfortable.

 

Thanks again, Notorious.

It's generally caused by failing to lucid dream. It's supposed to give you terrible ass nightmare images as well. (;

It may be the same as lucid dreaming, but lucid dreaming you can control the nightmares and your dream. But, yea I read somewhere it is caused by lucid dreaming, sometimes you get lucky..and sometimes you're going to get screwed.

Happened to me twice.

 

Once I slowly saw the girl from the horror film ring or something like that, clamp her hands at the end of my bed then pops her heads and stares at me for a few seconds. All of a sudden she sprints on top of my body and I force myself to move and shout. Didn't sleep for two nights

 

Next time isn't sleep paralysis but lucid dreaming. Was sleeping and in my dream woke up(Everything exactly like it was in real life) and turn around to see my ex, I try to wake her up and when I turn her face I see a demon with horns. I then wake up and remain still for a solid 2 minutes shivering not knowing what exactly happened..

I am so interested in Sleep Paralysis, cool that you are too. Really, I've never had it, Nor I want it, but it's really interesting + scary at the same time.

Yea exacltly, you are completely awake, though the way the human body works, our mind and body don't communicate like most people think. Your Mind and Body send random signals to one another to check different functions, and one of them being sleep. Your mind and body have no clue when one of the other is sleeping, so they send checks to each other. If you have ever noticed when your trying to sleep, all of a sudden you get the most intense urge to roll over/move. That's your body sending  a signal to your brain asking if it's awake or not, and finally when you don't respond to that urge, your body knows that mind has fallen asleep and release a enzyme that paralyzes us while sleep, to prevent sleeping walking or acting out in your sleep.

 

Though a person who has sleep paralysis, mind wakes up, yet their body stays asleep, still releasing the paralyzing enzyme. So you guess it, you wake up frozen, only able to move minor things around your body, such as fingers, eyelids, toes, and twitching. Only when your body finally send another random check to see if your mind is awake(Sometime can be a while), or if you are able to get enough energy to send your own signal such as moving your body enough to where your finally your body realizes it needs to wake up.

 

I've done a lot of research of this before, because it fascinated me. Also we can take advantages of those body/mind signals, by forcing your body to fall sleep, yet keeping your mind awake allowing you to dream whatever you want, if you want to learn about that, Google "Stop Drop Roll Sleep Technique".

Damn, Notorious..that is a lot of experience. Thanks for sharing yet again, it made it more interesting how you worded the signal going through your brain and whatnot, we may know the general idea, but the wording makes it sound very interesting. I'll be sure to google that technique. Thanks a lot!

Yeah, I just started after seeing a facebook photo (Sad but true) I thought it was some kind of just funny photo until I read the comments.

 

Come to think of it, I think my mom has had this once. She said she couldn't move and that some demon was holding her from the back and flying up to the ceiling and down. This was when she also would look around the room and everything would be really dizzy, I'm not sure it was pretty scary though. I'd hear her screaming when she'd be dizzy, my dad has heart problems and he would wake up to help her, it was tough but I don't think she has anymore sleeping paralysis. At least often.

I was afraid to click on the video on the first page lmfao

[Swizzbeat]

Swizz I've had this shit since I was a kid, please nukka.

 

Yo momma must be one hell of a drug lord

Shit I use to get them and they would be really bad experience. I remember the first time I got it, I had a heavy blanket over me, the air conditioner off. So I was sweating hot, I couldn't move, I tried to yell, move, and do anything but I couldn't. But I could see everything around me. I believe my sister was walking near me, I saw her, I was calling her name but nothing. I was about to start crying, I was that scared, please not that was my first time.

Another time when I got sleep paralysis, the first though in my head was "NOOOO, Not this shit again". The second after, I had some dark shaded figure rush to me, stared in my eye (like it was looking at my soul lol). Then started to push me down. That shit was pain fool. It felt like I was being squashed.

After that happened, I started to do some research because I was scared, I didn't know what was happening. I was a bit happy when I found out that I wasn't the only person who had these same sleep paralysis experiences. They said that, most of the experience that happens to you, all come from your imagination. They said if you keep calm it isn't as bad. So now when I get them I'm just chilling. I also read some nice techniques on how to wake up. What I do is just wiggle my toes until I wake up.

That sounds pretty rough. How old were you at the time? Seems like you were pretty young. :P
