sleep paralysis..

I've this when I'm very tired or stressed out (from my own observation..I kept a record of its frequency and the circumstances when one happened)
I heard this often happens when one wakes up but I've experienced when I was just about to fall asleep but somehow my brain was still alert and awake 🙂

1) I was asleep on bed then I woke up to someone or something pulled down my left ankle very hard..thought I was going to fall off from the bed but when I woke up I was just laying as I went to bed the night

2) I was asleep and I heard some footsteps outside my door room (I always keep my door shut when I go to be), I tried to ignore them and just to sleep but the sounds grew louder so I got up and went outside to check..there was nothing and the house was still silent

3) I was about to fall asleep (somewhere between awake and asleep..-actually, this doesn't make sense semantically, but anyway lol-).. then startled woke up because someone (a man) shrieked really loud in my ear..it was like as if the sounds came from within my head. I woke up and of course there was no one but me in my room lol

Research hypnogonic hallucinations.... and its relation to sleep paralysis... If both are frequent you probably need to see a sleep doc... Im a registered sleep tech so if you got a question shoot! I wouldnt offer if what you were describing was "normal" sleep behavior :-P

4) I was taking a nap and I felt someone or something came to my room then lay down beside me..instinctively I knew it wasn't something substantial or real..but as I had experienced this kind of stuff quite often (especially when I was stressed out and tired) and I was very sleepy at the moment, so decided to ignore and sleep continuously.. but then this thing transmorphed into my mother in shape and I said 'cut it off because that's not nice'..however, this thing kept poking at my sides, disturbed my sleep..I tried to ignore..then this thing again transformed, now into my grandmother's shape..this somehow made me very upset, so I finally got up and punched it hard in the stomach, saying 'I told you to stop and leave me alone'..I kept punching it and it laid slack in my hand and somehow now was in a form of a broom stick..I also heard lots of whispering sounds beyond my room door, so I opened it and walked into the living room, saw some dark shadows wandering about the place..I shook the broom stick and said 'fuck off right now or I will beat you all'..then I woke up and I was still in my room

5) I was asleep in my room and I woke up at strange sounds..it was the sound of my door know turning..I found it strange because I only shut my room door but never lock when I go to sleep..but the door know just kept turning and turning as if someone outside trying to unlock it. I got up and walked to the door and open it myself..there was no one and the outside living room was dark

6) I was asleep on bed and woke up to a sudden feeling of my bed and my body got sucked down through the floor..I felt my bed shook hard, but of course it was a misperception 🙂

stupid phone..grumble...

Sleep paralysis is very creepy. Thank God I haven't had it in about a year. But back when I was having it, I'd swear there were times when someone was whispering in my ear or rubbing my neck or something like that. Once I hallucinated that there was a skeleton dancing on my bed. But most of the time it was just me feeling ice cold and wanting to scream, but not being able to. I have heard that sleep paralysis is related to Astral projection. That during sleep paralysis your spirit has kind of drifted away from your body, leaving it open to demon possession.
But some advice, ever since I started sleeping on my side I have never had it once. 🙂

lol after having written and reread what I just wrote..I sound like someone with some mental illnesses..like schizo or hallucination
but I'm positive I'm not schizo.. I have no problem with sleep..only when I'm extremely stressed out or tired..and somehow, I get a feeling of one happening before I go to bed..like some sort of a premonition 'ahh..crap I think I'm about to have one tonight' ..and usually I am right
I found out that changing sleep position helps with this issue.. I sleep on my back, like 9 out of 10..the 1 is on my sides..but rarely..never sleep on my stomach, simply because I cannot sleep in that position

from my observation, I've discovered that it was only when I was sleeping on my back all those things described above happened..so when I have a feeling that I'm about to have one at night, I sleep in a different position..on my sides and I've no problem that night

ahhhh on your side also..?
just right after having written my post..I saw yours and hmmmm..is this a coincidence? or does sleeping in a certain position have something to do with this phenomenon? 🙂

it is common for most to have experienced sleep paralysis at least once for whatever reason... i have actually... and i cant stand when it does... i think my last episode was like a month ago... always the same... falling asleep... generally on my back... cant scream or move but i try until i can which is generally help! lol... i did it cuddled up on my boyfriend one night and started murmuring help to yelling it practically lol

I think that it can. I know this sounds weird but I think that when one sleeps on their back they can get into such a deep sleep that they unconsciously project their soul somehow. In scientific terms maybe it could be said that you just get into such a deep meditation that you forget who you are?

I will do research about it..🙂 thank you! 🙂
this thing is not frequent..I normally don't have problem with sleeping..but occasionally, as I wrote in my op..when I was extremely stressed out or fatigue

I believe some of those were just dreams..and after waking up, I ponder about what the meanings of those.. especially..like, that broom stick lol.. mother->grandmother->broomstick? what the..?? lol

that's ur pineal gland decalcifying..... lucid dreams... be very very careful.

yes..this..I see my surroundings but cannot move my body at all..I don't see anything though but feel extremely uncomfortable when this happens..I try to move my body..people say they mostly try to move their fingers..like tap, tap, tap..this, however, doesn't work for me..so for me, I usually thrash myself hard, shake my head from side to another..or kick hard in the air lol.. but lots of times, I ignore and just continue sleeping..too sleepy and tired to bother..but only when I feel something or someone or whatever poking at me or things like that..I am forced to get up and change into a different sleeping position

I've written down mostly nightly experiences above..but I also observed that this phenomenon happens more often when I take a nap..like when I sleep but cannot have a deep sleep..due to lights or sounds of the day

it certainly is not a pleasant thing to experience..(wonder why they always have to be creepy lol) I think this is my brain's doing.. 🙂

I think it's different from lucid dreams..I have had those..and I was very aware of the fact that I was dreaming..thus I could control the contents of those dreams and over how things unraveled.. it's a bit strange, but when I have dreams I never dream about my usual days..most people I see in my dreams are total strangers..some of my family or friends or acquaintances do appear, but that's a very rare case..and even when they appear the context they appear in is totally different one from the reality..and that's how I am able to detect that I'm dreaming..having lucid dreams..other cases, I find somewhat like a plot hole in my dreams, and deduce..'this must be a dream'

but with this sleep paralysis..I feel like..it's more like my brain is half awake..while my other sensories are fully awake..so there's some gap between how my brain perceives outside stimulants and interpret..

pineal gland decalcifying? (—_—) what's it?

I'm not sure about the existence of souls myself..but putting that aside..I guess this phenomenon has something to do with different sleep stages..I don't know..(—_—) I'm not an expert..

pineal gland aka third eye. musbe theta stage.... where u become aware its a dream and have control. but the things poking at you. dat is where it like a horror film

third eye? trepanation? I'm not sure about that..

the poking thing..that hasn't happened much over all those sleep paralysis phenomena..quite a unique one I'd say..

4) I was taking a nap and I felt someone or something came to my room then lay down beside me..instinctively I knew it wasn't something substantial or real..but as I had experienced this kind of stuff quite often (especially when I was stressed out and tired) and I was very sleepy at the moment, so decided to ignore and sleep continuously.. but then this thing transmorphed into my mother in shape and I said 'cut it off because that's not nice'..however, this thing kept poking at my sides, disturbed my sleep..I tried to ignore..then this thing again transformed, now into my grandmother's shape..this somehow made me very upset, so I finally got up and punched it hard in the stomach, saying 'I told you to stop and leave me alone'..I kept punching it and it laid slack in my hand and somehow now was in a form of a broom stick..I also heard lots of whispering sounds beyond my room door, so I opened it and walked into the living room, saw some dark shadows wandering about the place..I shook the broom stick and said 'fuck off right now or I will beat you all'..then I woke up and I was still in my room

the thing bothered me most..was whatever that thing had a shape of my mother, but it didn't feel anything like her..something I am familiar to has become something absolutely unfamiliar..unheimlich..this was what disturbed me the most..and it went up to the point I could not just ignore and sleep, when it turned into the form of my grandmother, but again completely devoid of whatever essence made her as 'she'..it looked like her, but an utter alien..I'd rather just encounter something looks like a typical horror movie..crooked figures, with scooped out eyeballs, &. 🙂

It happens many times since my kundalini active, never had before. Last few times I've almost controlled , fully awake in a second, before it was very frightening. Marked my ribs one day for those hands so strong return me to my bed. It happens especially if I have a very relaxed day (more astral than physical ) so I'm afraid to do certain things. Shit.

Ah sleep paralysis is interesting. I've had the ones where I was conscious but couldn't move my body, a hallucination of a flexing arm during the middle of the night, whispers, and one where I felt someone came next to me and wrapped themselves around me to give me a warm hug. Sleep paralysis has dramatically decreased for me since I figured out what triggers it. I tend to sleep on my back so if you're laying down straight with two of your big toes sticking up next to each other, you have a very increased chance of experiencing sleep paralysis. I got tired of frequently experiencing so I avoid that position at all cost.

im so glad I haven't had sleep paralysis in a while

And I am suffering from the same thing right now.

I astral project and lucid dream. Have done since a child. When your body is asleep in this realm and your astral body drifts away alittle there's a sleep paralysis moment where your aware but you can't move or scream. This happens to me when falling to sleep. Best advice I can give is, lay on your side, as laying on your back increases the chances of this happening. Have you seen inception? The Leonardo DiCaprio film? This is a very good example of some of the intricacies of sleep. Try not to panic so much as nothing can hurt or harm you if you believe it can't! This is my experience. Nothing sinister here apart from our own fear and perceptions of the situation. Sounds like your pineal gland is flexing its muscles. If you relax into this and panic less the experience can become quite interesting. If been to some interesting places. Negative entities tend to be in lower vibrational realms. They love to try scare you but they can't harm you. Higher vibrational energies and entities can be mischievous at times but they mean well. The higher your vibration, the less likely you'll end up in lower realms. Eat well detox and meditate. Read up on raising your vibration and brightening up your aura. Visualisation also helps. Before you fall asleep envision a white healing protective light surrounding you. If you vibrate higher, the darker side of paralysis subsides quite a bit. Good luck.....
