SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!

I have something that happens to me that I do not understand.
Sometimes just before I fall asleep, I start to feel really
strange and weird. And all of a sudden, I can not move (it
is like I am completely paralysed); and I can not speak or
call out for help. However, I can hear all that is going on
around me (for example my family talking or moving about, the
TV in the background, etc).
After a while, this feeling will leave me/disappear, and I
can move and talk again, as if nothing has happened.
I really don't know what is happening to me.

The past year or so, I also feel as if someone is gently touching
the top of my head. But the strange thing is there is nobody there.
It has got to the point where it seems to happen all the time and
everywhere. If I am driving, watching TV, praying or just sitting
quietly reading. I feel as if the top of my head is being touch.
It is always my head.

It is happening right now, as I am typing this message.

I don't know what it is. Can someone please help me understand
what is happening to me?

The sleep paralysis thing has happened to me twice. The first time it felt like someone was trying to choke me.

Also, I've mentioned this before, a... "girl" climbed into my bed and lay down beside me once. I felt the side of the bed go down and everything.

Just don't go crazy, mate.

u know there r many ancient tales of chocking spirits most from japan & hawaii

great reads if ur experiencing this

lrb has this always been? same residence?

Hi,
Thank you for your responses.
No, these things happen to me in every house or flat I have lived in.
Different homes, different countries.
And I can assure some of you; it is not in my head or overactive imagination.
Thank you all.

I agree with LadyLibra12 in that you should get it checked out medically just to be on the safe side. 🙂

Now I have had an experience with "strange" happenings as well so I don't discount that either.

I thought sleep paralysis happens when you wake up, not fall asleep.

ok can anyone respond to me im like new here and i kno what u all have felt it happend to me all my life depends on what area u live in and if u belive in ghost good nd if u dnt i respect you opoinon
like i said i kno what u all have felt ive been choked im my sleep and it feel like ur whole blood curculation just cuts off uh yea tht comes from intreacting with a ghost its natrual but u will know if u feel like ur safe or u will feel scared becuase of ur body response a ghost choked me in my sleep and i couldnt breath and i couldnt move and i couldnt shout 4 help and i also had things move in my house and lights going on and off and i could also hear foot steps

cuz u already cnt breath so just calm down and wait till it goes away it only last for about 10-15 seconds maybe less
but its all natrual

Yeah. No worries. It's happened to me once. Real similar situation to yours. Some call it sleep paralysis some call it an out of body experience.

It may be helpful to see a doc. Def. not in a "doc I'm crazy way" either!

What I mean is. This experience you're describing often is the result of a partially interrupted REM sleep cycle.

It's like you either begin to sleep and enter REM or you are already in REM and only half of your consciousness is active. Thus your body isn't reacting normally. A ton of people, me included, feel a suffocation/presence/lack of function in extremities/etc. I don't know a ton about the whole process or what would interrupt your REM cycle ( stress? enzymes in the noggin? etc.)

It's troubling that it happens to you often, which leads me to guess there could be some type of chemical imbalance which is related to your sleep cycles. Which is why I say again that a quick trip to the Doc could be due. It may be something easily solved. Worth a try you know? I mean, this sleep paralysis you speak of... scared the living shit outta me. I researched it awhile back and came up with some reasoning related to sleep cycles.

Hope this eases your mind a bit! Don't think you have a ghost problem!

P.S. Do you smoke weed/drink?

I'm not being a wise ass either.

Downers such as weed and alcohol can alter dopamine levels which in turn can fuck with sleep patterns.

Not to say that you should fear these substances as triggers to sleep paralysis.

Just suggesting that these commonly used substances, coupled with other unrelated factors that could interfere with your sleep processes may play some part.

or maybe not.

more food for thought.

no but i did smoke weed with my cousin once beucase i was so stress out and when im like really mad i either need weed or alcohol or i just eat alot i dnt kno y but im competly fine though i dnt need to see a doctor i just belive in sprits and i see them yes i kno it mite sound crazy to u but im just tellin u wat ive been seein and hearing and feeling these experices but other than that i dnt smoke any-more though but when im stressed i eat alot is that a promble ——and im only 15 idk y i do this

somebody help these fucked up people please.

If you're 15. You need to talk to a family or adult in charge of you. nuff said.

well i never told my parents cuz they dnt know how to keep their mouth shut and the just goes throughout the family so i cnt tell them anything

OP. It sounds to me like, your energy in the higher body chakras is great. Do you actually strongly sense someone else's presence? Could perhaps your own energies cause this force on your head?

I think, if you let go of your anxiety, you could do great things! Relax.

I did not read all of the comments, but here's what's happening: your body is entering a normal state of paralysis that keeps it immobile while you dream so that you will not act out your dreams. If you happen to awaken during the paralysis, you will not be able to move at first, and will likely continue some dreaming while at the same time being awake. This means you are going to see things, and seeing women in your room is very common. Whether you regard what you are seeing as real during this time depends on your opinion of what, exactly, dreaming is. If you wake up in this state and manage to stay calm, you can use it as a platform to explore out-of-body experiences and lucid dreaming.

Well , all you can do it pray hun , && that is very scary ... Maybe someone is trying to reach out to you ... You'll never know ... try to communicate with the spirit or who ever it is ... Maybe you should leave a note @ night and place a camera next to it so u can observe and then if it writes you then its a spirit who is trying to tell you something ...

I don't know about the touching on the head thing, but I definitely get sleep paralysis. I tend to get it in bouts, usually during periods of stress. It's terrifying every single time! Sometimes I'm still dreaming, my poor ex used to wake up to me being pissed at him because it happened and in the dream/hallucination all sorts of nonsense was going down and he didn't help me lol. I had it happen a lot when I moved back into the house I grew up in, so for a long time I seriously thought I was suffering from some paranormal harassment, because usually my hallucinations are auditory. Now, my house IS haunted, but the sleep paralysis isn't part of it. I recommend reading up on sleep paralysis, the folklore in different areas about it is fascinating

I think the problem is in your body you have something wrong in you nervous system you can go to a doctor and check if you are ok I think the problem is physical

I dont know about the sleep para;ysis but I think its physical too

I was having this problem in 2004 while i was pregnant the first episode when i fell asleep at a freinds house which was a old police sation and she lived in the ground floor which used to be the cells and she told me the place was haunted and she left soon after.

After i gave birth to my son my apartment was facing a graveyard, i was conviced i was going insane At night i would hear a whoosing sound before i retired at night.

It specifically occured when i was sleeping on my back, i felt a heavy sensation on my chest like something was putting pressure on my chest and trying to pull me down and i could not move trying to shout and i could not open my mouth it felt like there was a evil presence in the room i would recite a prayer and it would end abruptly.

I was certain my home was haunted by a demon, i refused to stay at home by myself after dark as my partner worked until late, it scared the life out of me, i would sleep with the holy book open next to my head, then one day it stopped.

I had one episode recently where i was falling asleep and i heard someone whisper my name then it struck me.

It has not happened since and i pray i do not experience it again.

I have spoken to a few people and they have explained to me that it has happened at a point in their life where they were facing problems, stress, depression etc and some who are religious believe that it is an evil spirit.
