Ho lee fuk. THAT'S sleep paralysis?

[feelymcfeel]

I get SP relatively frequently. You get used to it. Just concentrate on clenching your fingers or toes and you'll snap out of it quicker.

[Bigolteddies]

congratz! you've been visited by ghost! enjoy your sleep brah. maybe next time u'll get to see him. sleep paralysis is just another term to make it sound less scary lol

this srs ive gottn it 1000+ times, telepathically communicated with the entities and basically my conclusion is theyre from some other dimension or world

[colbski]

Hold me bros... Scared to go back to sleep. Didn't get any demons or anything crazy, but fuk it happened twice. Dat realism of all the surroundings.

A figure that appeared to vaguely look like my brother just opened the door and stayed in the doorway looking down at me smiling creepily. I thought it was my brother so I was confused as fuk and thought how he got down here, how he got on base, how he got a key to my room. Upon thinking these thoughts I realized there was no way that was my brother and started freaking the fuk out. Tried to yell, talk, and move, but just couldn't no matter how hard I tried. He just left, closed the door, and I thought that was that. A couple of seconds later someone else barges in my room and runs up to me and kind of just paces back and forth by my bed. I tried yelling but to no avail. I closed my eyes and tried so hard to relax. Blood rushed to my fingers and toes. I woke up seconds later mind full of ****

Das fukn it mane

The old hag syndrome is REAL. Happened once! (3:13 A.M. in the morning) I woke up to the feeling of hands being clasped around both feet and it seemed as if I was getting pulled off the bed. I held on to the top of my bed for dear life and I kept feeling this weird tugging on my feet. I started to slide down the bed and I pulled myself up to the top of the bed, and that's when I started to scream for help. My cries were not heard because my vocal cords would not WORK! I then started kicking my feet violently and then it just stopped. Palms were sweaty and my arms felt like spaghetti.

Believe it or not I found out about this syndrome a few nights later on the coast to coast show with Art Bell. They called it Old Hag Syndrome. Nonetheless, it hasn't happened since and it's by far the strangest thing that has happened to me while sleeping.

[mystic0608]

In on sp story time

heres mine

About two years ago I woke up around 3-4am. My bed is against the wall and I woke up on my side facing the wall, I was unable to move anything except my eyes a bit. I then heard my bedroom door start to slowly open behind me and heard someone slowly approach my bed but I couldn't see anything due to facing the wall. I became aware that someone was stood behind me watching me but I still couldn't move, I tried to shout for help but only a quit dull "ahhhmmmmmm" sound came out. I felt the person behind me get into my bed, I could literally feel the mattress getting pushed down behind me as they got in. I could then feel them laying behind me and feel its breath lightly on my neck (lol, srs). I could then suddenly move again and quickly spun around to find nothing there and my bedroom door closed.

chits intense

"pepper ur angus, im going in dry."

Shiit, you can't describe it better than old hag. I googled it and when the pics came up I got a shiver. That's how this bitch looks.

My cries were not heard because my vocal cords would not WORK

Trying to scream as loud as possible but there is nothing coming out lol

[WontDieMirin]

I have had sleep paralysis about 10-15 times. I used to get it fairly frequently about a year ago.

Never got any of the demon stuff, just lying there with my eyes open unable to move...

The worst feeling is when the blanket is covering my mouth and nose and I am having trouble breathing which just makes me panic like crazy..

[Cassack]

Its spiritual experience. I said "god is with me" then shiverings went through my body with little bit of tears, but I won, I resisted them and fought beside my spirit guardian.

[JohnyyBravo]

Had it once.....hopefully never again

It's the scariest thing... SHE or IT exists!

[DanglingBuffet]

The only experience I've had with it was when I fell asleep on my back with my arm dangling off my bed. At some point during the night, I could have sworn someone was holding my hand. I realized I was just dreaming, wiggled my fingers, and woke up.
I am extremely intrigued by the experiences you guys have had and would honestly like to experience them myself. brb researching ways to induce sleep peralysis/lucid dreaming

[BrocepCurls]

its happened to me a few times, mostly non scary stuff like i hear my flatmate walking around and talking to me even though he is out of the house, then once he came up to me and placed something really heavy on my chest and i was actually struggling to breath srs freaky as ****

[Danny758]

I just had it the other night.
Literally thought i was going to die or something.
Like an out of body experience.

dude.what.the.fk.

100% srs I had that exact same fking thing happwn to me like a year ago. little fking smiling in doorway, halfway in... try to shout but nothing happens.. idk how the fk I went to sleep... the sht is it felt ridiculously real

[Strelok]

In my experience, it has been possible to transform this phenomenon into a positive one. I liken the vibratory state one enters to the mixing of waters, like where fresh water meets the sea. The environment is distorted, the water looks weird, the fishes might look different then you might expect, but what paints your perception of it? Notice how many who are fearful of this experience report dark, demonic and downright terrifying things, while others have overwhelmingly positive experiences. Why do you think this is? Could you and your feelings be the culprit?

I suggest to brahs who have this happen regularly - try letting go of the urge to "get out" or exit the experience.

[socrates07]

happens to me every night OP

has been like this for over a year

so fun, much joy

[socrates07]

I always have a witch that stands near the end of my bed. last time it started with someone whispering my name, then eventually the witch was on top of me screaming into my right ear telling me im being cast to hell.

why are the hallucination never pleasant? like why cant we hallucinate that HHB's are sitting on us?

because it's not hallucinations

science can't accept the fact there's other realms and sh*t simply because we're not advanced enough to prove it. So they completely dismiss it and come up with theories for it instead.. example, hallucinations

Some of you need to stop being edgy atheists

Got it once last fall, accepted Christ as my savior and haven't gotten it until yesterday when my savior helped me break out of it before anything scary happened

I guess I should share my experience from like a month ago

cliffs:
get paralyzed, yadda yadda standard procedure crap moving on bed, shadows etc.
call out to Jesus for help
window is open and see a white smoke of sorts come through
immediately feel the "presence" leave the room
still paralyzed but coming out of it I look towards the window again
watch the white smoke thing leave and on the window like you would draw with your finger if there was fog was printed the words "jesus"
fades away in about 3 seconds and I snap out of the paralysis completely

I already believed but for me, this absolutely sealed it beyond any possible shadow of doubt

[20Mavs11]

you cant trigger sleep paralysis... it is random

No **** idiot, thats why i said "Plenty of CHANCES to trigger sleep paralysis."

The entire point of sleep paralysis is keeping your mind awake and forcing your body to shut down. You do this by ignoring urges like scratching your nose or swallowing your spit. These are checks your mind performs on your body to see if it's truly asleep. Oh and turning to your side to get comfortable is also one.

[STLmisc]

this is why you never sleep on your back OP.

[Swood94]

I've only had sleep paralysis once but I didn't have the figures our anything. I was consciously awake, but I couldn't move. I remember starting to get super hot and trying open my eyes. My eyelids wouldn't open and my arms wouldn't move. Tried to get up by my legs weren't moving either. As fast as I realized what was happening my nervous system woke up and I was moving around. I thought I was somehow paralyzed for a second. Terrifying.

[digistp]

happened once, chit sucks

[crod6926]

What triggers it?

Srs.

Every time I've had it was due to some weird sleep position. Usually when I took naps on my hammock I would get them cause my neck back was contorted.

[Hanako216]

The first time it happened to me, it was around 6 am. My dog sleeps with me so I 'woke up' to the feeling of him crawling onto my chest. I thought it was way too early for him to wake me up so I looked at him to see what was going on and saw this thing with such big hands and extremely small head and thought 'this is not my dog' ahahaha. Right after that, it felt like it grabbed me by my shoulders and started yanking me while screaming. I couldn't move, I couldn't speak, the only thing I could thing of was reciting a mantra and it left.

Woke up confused and felt weird for a week. I also avoided sleeping on my back because the thought of 'is going to crawl back up' always came to mind.

[Vardoger]

I had an episode last night.

Dreaming that I was falling to sleep in a room black as death, fearful of falling to sleep. Unconscious riddles; the subconscious is a labyrinth of wtf?.

So there I was, dreaming I was dreaming about the fear of dreaming, when I fell asleep in my sleep. That's when the breathing stopped.

I convinced myself the best thing to do was to scoot my foot off the bed so I would tumble onto the floor and force my body to wake the fuk up and breath. Somehow that seemed like a good idea.

It worked. I woke up in my dream then woke up from my dream. Damn, it's getting trippy, was the first thing I thought. Then I decided I needed a mental distraction to numb the fear of sleep induced death, suffering that immobile wretchedness.

So I gathered up my cell to calm my worries with misc irreverence. But no, because there on page one, just three threads down was a thread titled something like "so that was sleep paralysis?"

Yet there was no time to get all Jungian, I needed more rest.



This is next:

because it's not hallucinations

Actually yes, they are.

[CanadianMMA]

Like the poster said above, I usually get it sleeping on my back. If I sleep on my back and start sleeping on my side after an episode of sleep paralysis, I get it again. Probably the most uncomfortable for me and I had had 3-4 episodes in one night...

What I do to get out of it:
Control my breathing, count 1, 2, 3 and I try throw my body
If I have multiple episodes, I get out of bed and drink A LOT of water. This is the most effective solution for me

Worst episode:
Sleeping on my side
realized that I'm in sleep paralysis and I can only see forward
A girl with long hair over her face was on my bedside just watching me (looked like the girl from the ring)
Can't move and scared ****less

[StrongLurking]

LOL just LOL at Miscers who don't believe in ghosts and say its "all in the mind". YET they experience sleep paralysis with very REAL feelings of aliens and hideous demons screaming at their faces and touching them, etc.

Yea those are called fukking demons bro, you came face to face with an evil spirit. Its not in your imagination. And those that get this chit on the regular... LMFAO at you. Ya'll need to white sage (incense) your piece of chit houses to clear it of this evil asap. Also go to church for once in your lives you weak spirited fukking *******s.

This chit is not a hallucination. When you see this creepy ass looking person/creature at the end of your hallway and you look at it what is the first thing you feel? Yes its fear. Your body doesn't lie, the fear that you feel is very real and you are scared for your well being. Why do a lot of you "feel" somebody in the room during sleep paralysis, a "presence"? Because its real, there IS someone/something there and your body and mind know it. Your instincts don't lie, trust them.



Wrong, *******. Sleep on my back every night and never experience this. Its not how you sleep thats wrong its YOU. YOU are weak spiritually if you get sleep paralysis.

It's called paranoia *******. I guess you think schizophrenics see ghosts too? So if it's real and not a mental disease, explain their crazy ass delusions that make no sence and why do they think they are jesus?
*******.


Anyway I have not had sleep paralysis but occasionally when I'm that state between bein asleep and being awake and I open my eyes, I hallucinate random ass things infront of me for a few seconds. One time it was a water bottle. One time I saw a spider. Weird

[GrownSimba3]

My sleep paralyses usually involve big cats but the last 'major' one I had went like this:

I'm woken up (but still in my sleep) to a buzzing sound in my ears. I see two red demonic eyes staring at me. I have no control of my body and fall out of my bed so I have to break the fall with my arm. I get thrown out of the bed and into the wall next to the door. The door opens and at first I think it's my flatmate coming to save me, so I try to call out his name, but I can't. The door now begins smashing me into the wall repeatedly. I am now struggling really hard to wake up and eventually I succeed.

Uncomfortable, but I'm sort of getting used to these experiences and have started to accept them instead of fearing them. It helps.

LOL at you just coming to terms with sleep paralysis and just accepting your situation as "normal". Pack your bags buddy, the demons won. Pepper ur angus for Cthulhu's slimy cawk within the next 48 hours, srs.

****ing lmao, yeah bruh, being smashed against the wall repeatedly is not normal, even for SP. Some supernatural **** going on, i suggest moving out of your current place of stay.

[Tyrantax]

my theory is sleep paralysis only happens when the body and mind is under stress,
doesn't Cortisol create nightmares?

[GrownSimba3]

Your theory is flawed because i am never stressed and i always get SP when i lay on my back.
