is sleep paralysis real life? [gif]

[sayso]

never had it happen to me, never had anyone else tell me it's happened to them. I only hear about it on the internet.

[Ace Thedics]

Yeah it happens to me even on planes now.

[ThePelican]

Used to happen to me all the time. First time it happened I thought a witch was slowly creeping towards me it was the scariest moment of my life. Afterwards I got used to it and just lay in my bed until I could move (took about one minute). I stopped sleeping on my back so it doesn't happen anymore.

It is thought to explain many alien abduction stories-or in earlier times, stories of demon possessions and such. Scary stuff.

Hahaha this.

Brb been sleeping on my side for the last 10 years checking in.

[TakeItItsYours]

Its just a dream, go back to sleep.

[futureMOUNTIE]

Only ever happened to me once and it was petrifying (srs)


Woke up, couldn't move and there was some creepy little girl standing off the side of my bed.


Almost pissed myself (no softie)

[phreshprince]

Yeah 5 times already... The most surreal feeling ever. It happens when I tell to myself over and over again before I sleep that I'm going to have a lucid dream

[caniphilyouup]

happens to me all the time. first couple times were the worst ever felt like some ****er was laying on top of me and whispering **** in my ear. kinda used to it so i dont fight it anymore... notice it happens when when im really sleep deprived doe

[KrayzieMiscer]

Very real. First time I experienced it, i heard a demon whispering some evil **** in my ear. Like backwards satan talk.

Used to have it a lot as a kid and teen. Yes I think it explains of lot of paranormal chit.

[CommonPheasant]

I've had sleep paralysis quite a few times but never anything so intense. The only symptoms I get are laying in bed and not being able to move. Occasionally I'll hear things from my dream I'm waking up from even while I'm lying half awake but never anything scary.

[Joey_junior1]

happened once to me during a scary dream about ghosts or some chit, took a while to get back to sleep after

I constantly wake up and hallucinate though, I'll look at something in my room and think it's a person or an animal until i switch the light on, it's so annoying lol and happens regularly

The other night i woke up thinking my desk chair was a grizzly bear......retarded brain being retarded.....i'm so used to it now though that I 99.9% know it's just my eyes playing tricks on me, but that 0.01% is enough to make me turn the light on and off before i go back to sleep

I hope i'm not the only one who has this

[lethalandcruel]

It's very real,srs it's the worst thing it can happen to you,you're in your sleep but you're concious,and you can't move a muscle,you can't even scream,it happened to me once,i was in a parkinlot,i heard footsteps and they were walking faster and faster until you could hear someone running,and then i finally screamed like never before...Worst expirience ever...

[FinalCountdown]

had it

didn't hallucinate

felt great after waking up

100% srs

[caniphilyouup]

well it happens when you wake up but your motor functions are still incapacitated

[Rambosmum]

I get it like once a month and im about to teach u brahs how to escape it 100% srs.

First... tell yourself you are just going to just lay there in your head and 10 seconds later, use every single amount of strength and make a sudden burst movement. Works all the time.

[Tony_S]

happened a few years back. i didn't sleep for days. i woke up at 3am jumped out of bed and made a thread. the thread is still on the misc somewhere.

[Mwizzle]

I think I had it once in 4th grade, but it wasn't like anything came up to me.

I'm obviously dreaming but in my dream I'm just lying awake on my bed on my back.
Can't move can't do anything
I slowly open my mouth and this little ball of light/spirit comes out slowly
I think it was my soul/life force (crazy as chit)
Couldn't breathe because I thought I was gonna die
The ball goes back into my body and I wake up screaming.


Fuk brahs, still remember it.

Mine was about the witch as well.

sleep paralysis on a semi-regular basis (once every week or two weeks) crew checking in.



feels scary man (soft)

[Staberella]

Been a sufferer of this schit since I was 8. Still get it from time to time, especially if I wake up and then go back to sleep. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I don't get the visual hallucinations that a lot of people do, but I get the aural and sometimes dem feels. The worst episodes are when I can't move and I hear a fukked up voice whispering in my ear in some foreign language while tickling my sides.

You get used to it though and it goes away or the episodes are more far apart as you get older. Supposedly it is genetic.

Wiggling toes helps and if you can move your head do so. It's extremely hard to move your head in full blown sleep paralysis but it's doable, you'll just feel schitty for the rest of the day.

[keysbrah]

Sleep Paralysis crew checking in. Sleeping on my side or stomach does nothing to prevent it from happening for me. I literally fight my body trying to snap back into "awake mode" every time I feel myself falling into a sleep paralysis; you never get used to it.

[Sakeoe]

I think its just something the Misc made up. Kinda like a meme.

[pitbullschicago]

I wanna experience this

[Marky22]

Yup.scary **** happens me a lot..only happened yesterday aswell

[Celsus]

What if I told you they are actually demons.

[J_A24]

It's happened to me frequently in the past, but hasn't for some time now. Eventually if it comes back, I'll get it in bunches, something like 3 times a week for 1 or 2 weeks and then it stops.

But I've never experienced it with monsters and all that kind of ****. It's more scary to me because I once found myself in a very awkward position where my pillow was obstructing my nose and mouth a bit and I couldn't breathe properly. When it finally stopped I was panting for air.

Dat feel of relief when you can finally move. I always try to move my toes and fingers first, that seems to get me out of it.

i can vouch for this. i don't have the scary hallucinations but sometimes i will wake up and i won't be able to move at all. i will panic initially but then collect my thoughts and tell myself you're going to fully wake up in 3 seconds and with a bit of concentration I snap out of it

[noidontlift]

Fuark, why did I read this thread right before I'm sue to sleep.
