Sleep Paralysis

[ukchaz]

some nights I'd wake up, and be completely paralysed, only able to move my eyes. I wouldnt be able to speak, or move any other part of me. I'd have a great sense of fear, and It'd take a few minutes to come out and back to normal, then I could completely move and everything would be fine again, I'd just be abit shocked as to what just happened, I started to get this more and more, to the point where it was 6-10 times a night..so I cut out ALL caffine. and it completely went away for abit. but recently I've started to wake up in that paralysed state again, somtimes i'll see shadows and have a sense that something else is controlling me/the situation. sometimes i'll feel hands around my ankles and something is trying to pull me off my bed by my legs. sometimes when I'd come out of this state i'd actually be half off of the end of my bed. which would scare me, then I'd question wether it's spiritual or I'm just hallucinating. I am completely AWAKE when this is happening.. I am just paralysed and unable to do anything about it, when I eventually manage to come out of that state, reality is restored. but I AM completely awake when all this is happening, it is not a dream. just wondering if anyone else has this, or has this as often as me.. and there experiances, also what I can do to stop if from happening? and what the hell is actually going on? I'm starting to fear going to sleep, again. Also- I've noticed this only happens in my own house. If i sleep anywhere else I don't get this.

I did have somethin similar to what u say since i was 12 years old and now i am 23, just kind use to it, it's spirit which assigned to people when they born (not ur spirit) n it's not other human spirit, with some people it's very worse than ur case where they ll scream and trumble in their bed, for other it's matter of 1 minu, for me it's like that my body start to paralyse and i go in deep sleep and then it holds me tightly pushing me in crushing way my heart beat faster but because i am use to it i relax myself when it comes and i fight it back and trying to twist it break it, even if i wake up and sleep straight away it will come back like 9 times in one night I have to totaly get awake and change my sleeping position, look if u have it in bad way and u scare to get u worse ask for someone who have big knowledge in islam only a man of religion but a scholor as for muslim they have big knowledge about spirits and devils but as I said search for scholor in ur place u dont need to convert of belive in different believes but they can help u a lot I wish u the best and that u ll over power it. thanks for sharing

It's typically not that you are actually seeing it, you are in a "limbo" like state between the two.

I've been reading up on it, it sounds about right. is it norml that i am seeing this stuff, in real life, in my room, during sleep REM?

[Gurrl]

I think it fits. Especially because it only happens at home, you may not be comfortable enough to get in a deep enough sleep

[Gurrl]

Your body and mind go into a deeper state and all your muscles freeze. Typically if getting enough sleep people go into REM cycle every 30 minutes during the night.

Hope that helps

Could you explain to me what happens during REM? x

[Gurrl]

Maybe you are waking in your REM cycle? I've done that a few times. It's strange it happens so many times in one night.......
