Paralyzed while sleeping

[Mandy4183]

Since I was a child, and until now (27years old) about once every three months or maybe more, I will have a frightening experience while sleeping.  Once I'm asleep, sometimes it feels like my head will get really heavy and there will be a deep low humming sound in my head or maybe a train sound that seems to paralyze my entire body, however once this feeling of heaviness occurs, I wake up internally, but my eyes are not open and I can hear everything going on around me.  At that point I seem to be conscious but unable to open my eyes or even move.  I then have to force myself fully awake by jerking my entire body.  And then, if I happen to fall right back to sleep, I will go into the exact same state again and jerk myself awake once again.  It is quite starling and frightning.  It kinda reminds me of what being in a coma might feel like.  Can anyone tell me what this is and is it possible not to be able to wake up from it, what ever "it" is?

Thanks,

You hit the nail Julykisses. We all get headaches but the pain is not always the same, yes we all experience the same thing with a little twist in our mind of what we think it may be. I also had this from the age of 5, I am now 38 years old. I always tell people that I am going to die in my sleep. I would often cry because I wanted to sleep but was so afraid to, I started working the night shift so I won't have to sleep at night where no one won't be around. When I fall asleep during the day it's only for an hour or less which my kids often wake me up because they needed something so it helps. One day I fell asleep and my 2 year old took her finger and stock it up my nose just to wake me up. I felt every pain of that, I couldn't stop her, I couldn't move, but I felt the pain cause she was just diggin in my nose. When I got up there was nothing but blood running down my nose and all I did was cry. There is someone in standing there in my sleep but I could never see their face, when I turned 14 I saw the face of my mom. I told my mom and she got mad at me thinking that I was telling her that she was the one that was doing this to me. To make a long story short, my mom just passed away in June and in October it has not happen to me since. Now I go to sleep in peace on my back, side and front. I just felt that whatever it was my mom took it away. Now I have to wonder that when I seen the face of my mom, was that person or thing tried to tell me that my mom is the one that can stop it.

Since I was a child I have had these episodes where I have been pulled down to the bottom of my bed while awake, like someone or thing grabbed my ankles and pulled, it would leave me afraid to go back to sleep, also another time about 5 years ago I was sleeping on the couch with my daughter an I was Awaken by being paralyzed not able to talk or move my body, and I could hear a women's laughter as she shook me vigorously and I was awake and after the paralysis stopped I was unable to go back to sleep, I have read on it and it says I suffer from sleep paralysis but I don't think thats the case!

what you guys are experiencing is the beginning  of astral projection, you can actually do this while awake, you get so relaxed to the point of your body paralyzing and then you can lift out of your body, i noticed all the bad experiences is when you fall asleep then wake up and your paralyzed,
the first time i had sleep paralysis was when i had made a piece for the Ouija board   because i had lost the piece you put your hands on to point at each letter or number, i had actually went to another city for the weekend to visit my sister, my brother and his gf at the time used the board and in the same night they used it was the same night i woke up  with this horrifying feeling, a pressure started at my toes then moved up to my head and i couldn' t even scream for help, when i went home they were using it and then i just knew what was going on and they told me they used it that night, i read something years later saying this happens to lot' s of people who use the board or take any part in anything like that, so today i was learning to about astral projection since i have done it once and tonight i was starting to it again until this really deep voice in another language started talking to me, i broke out of it this time with ease. I was studying demons the day before, i believe i broke out of the paralysis because i am strong with god now it usually happens when you involve your self with darkness, when i think of god all the time and never think of evil nothing this never happens.

or it' s all just a coincidence and it' s all in your head lol
like the people who have never experienced this would say.

It sounds like many of you are experiencing Sleep Paralysis.  This link is very helpful, and describes what many of you are experiencing.  I just looked it up because of what my son has been experiencing.   Click here: Ask the Brains: What Is Sleep Paralysis?: Scientific American
I hope the link works!
