| The paralyzed feeling in bed... you can see, you can hallucinate, you can hear, but you can't move... this is called sleep paralysis or hypnagogia. it's a sleep phenomenon and is not uncommon. shamans sometimes refer to this as another dimension. here, you can encounter well... other beings, so to say. there isn't too much scientific research concluded about this because it's so fleeting. they've just begun studying it in japan. As for that feeling at the top of your head.. have you tried to cleanse yourself somehow? sage, incense, energy, all of the above or something like that. |

| I can relate and empathize with you so much! I too suffer from sleep paralysis and it is such a horrific affliction. Just last night I had an "episode." It's something that began happening to me in high school and has continued to plague me periodically since. I don't know how to stop it, but it seems to help if you sleep in a nice, quiet and dark space. No blinking lights from the tv or laptop, and no music playing in the background. I know how terrifying it can be, but I hope that helps! |

| I have had the paralysis happen to me, but it is always accompanied by a feeling of evil and the (psychically-sensed) presence of some dark, animal-like figure. The first time it happened, I was lying in bed and I saw a "swirl or cloud of small lights enter the room from over the door. They descended on me, and Wham! I was paralyzed. I felt like an evil creature was on top of me. Sometimes it comes on slowly, and sometimes all at once. (I should use past tense, here, because it has not happened since 1988. It happened for eight years, from when I was 22 to 30.) The times when it came on slowly, and I could sense this presence in the room, I was sometimes able to turn on a light, sit up and let the feeling go away. The light sees to have made a difference, and unlike LibraLove, I found that having some source of light in the bedroom at night helped to prevent episodes. When the feeling hit all at once, there was nothing I could do. When this thing paralyzed me and leapt on me and "rode" me (I can't think of any other way to describe it), I instinctively tensed all my muscles to try to fight it off. When I ran out of strength and stopped resisting, it disappeared. I have had no experience with being touched on the head, but the last time this happened to me, was the second time there was some visual (and this time, tactile), phenomena. I woke in the morning, still lying in bed, and beside my bed was a four-foot tall "monkey" black in color. I psychically swore at it. It licked my cheek in an apparent mockery, saying in effect, "I can do anything I want to you." That area of my cheek felt hot to the touch for quite a while afterward. So some may call this sleep paralysis, but I believe more is at work, here, than a neurological mis-firing of synapses. In Kleo's post, above, it says that "beings" can be encountered, so I feel there is a spiritual element to this, for me, anyway. I am just glad it doesn't happen anymore. |
