Sleep paralysis?

[Nana103]

Have you ever had sleep paralysis? If so tell your story...

Yes, I've had SP.

What the hell is sleep paralysis?

[allahu_snackbar]

Yeah, I didn't see a ghost like figure or anything though. I was having a dream and then woke up from it, in the dream there was music and the music carried on but I was awake in my bedroom and I couldn't move, I tried and tried to get up but couldn't and I could still hear the music from my dream. I told a friend about it when I got to work and he said it was sleep paralysis, otherwise known as "the devil's rape". lolz

[Nana103]

wow! um do you remember what type of music it was?

[allahu_snackbar]

It was some funky house. lmao

[Nana103]

Well then... lol

New years day, this year. Partying at a friend's house. Woke up in the spare room and felt like hours that I couldn't talk or move.

I knew I was going to wake up eventually, but it was still disconcerting.

[ArtDent]

And I remember the dream vividly because I was dreaming I was trying to wake up at my friends house.

[Nana103]

woah that sounds super scary!

[ArtDent]

I didn't have the common accompanying 'intruder' sense that's so common with it.

Have you ever experienced it?

[Nana103]

Yup! But I don't remember every detail... but one time I had this dream and some really pretty lady was all like " When I count to three you'll wake up but remember when you wake up don't turn around because there will be something hideous behind you but don't worry I'll help you...1...2...3..." then I woke up of course but when I did I felt something like behind my back ( I just wanna include this was the night before Halloween) I thought it was my imagination but then it started to move! The good thing is it went down through the crack in between my bed and the wall it was crazy! I didn't sleep for the rest of the night...

[ArtDent]

Our minds are incredible. What about lucid dreaming? Have you tried?

[Nana103]

No... not really... the thought of me knowing I was dreaming sounds dangerous because if I'm in my dream and I'm having fun I would never leave which I think I would probably fall into a coma like state... lol it's weird to say and it probably doesn't make any sense but it does to me.

[ArtDent]

oh, I frequently have nightmares, so lucid dreaming helps me.

[Humping_Tornadoes]

I have. Those were solid 15 min where I wanted to get up from bed but I couldn't move or talk. I was dreaming and at the same time awake, I wouldn't know how eles to explain it. I did want to fully wake up and escape from my head, the dream. I don't even remember what was the dream about, but lying in bed frozen and barely able to open my eyes was pretty scary.

at one time i was gettin it like 3 times a week for like 2 months, like it wasn't even scary stuff, like it was a normal dream but then it was like "no, you're scared now" like a bird landed on my foot and then i was struggling to wake up, wdf

[Nana103]

*blink* Why a bird of all things?

[Opinion Owner]

because it like, startled me, like "oh shit a bird!" pigeons are the rats of the sky

[Nana103]

I didn't know that... I guess I learned something new.

[FakeName123]

I know what it is, but never experienced it myself.
