Anybody Suffer From Sleep Paralysis? - Blu-ray Forum

stockstar1138 · 11-28-2008, 02:24 PM

I hate this when it happens, scariest thing ever.

Had a very strange one last night, I woke up and I was facing the wall against my bed. Couldn't be more than 1 or 2 inches a way from it, so I couldn't see anything but the wall.

However, I could hear something in my room and it kept stroking my side (note: i was completely alone, nobody was sleeping with me).

Usually I can see (halucinate) some sort of being and thats scary too, but this one in particular freaked me out, because I couldn't even see the thing, Usually if something touches me during one of these episodes it feels like a pressing feeling or a shock and I immediately come to IRL, but the stroking wouldn't let me come to and it was just really creepy and freaked the living crap out of me.

It has happened to me quite a few times. I've never seen things, but I do hear things. Usually I hear someone moving in the room, The first time it happened I heard a crash and woke up and couldn't move. Couldn't have lasted for more than a few seconds but thinking someone is tearing through my house and not be able to get up really freaked me out. When I could move I spent a good hour checking doors and closets because I "knew" someone was there. Now when it happens I'm freaked for a few seconds, but I've kinda gotten used to it and can usually go right back to sleep.

This happens alot to filipinos and we have a specifi name for it but I can't remember it.

It would happen alot to me in high school. I'd be 100% awake but couldn't open my eyes or move. It's horrific. It doesn't happen anymore though.

I would usually break out by focusing on one specific body part, like my toe, and try to move it. That would usually jolt me.

ill add the part that is really freaking me out today is the fact that the TV was not on when I went to sleep, it was not on during the sleep paralysis episode, but it was on when i woke up.

i can't figure how the tv got on.

Not saying it rudely, but are you taking any kind of drugs for any purpose? Recreational or otherwise?

"Bangungot"

it happen to me twice
i can't move, i can't open my eyes and i can't yell
but i can hear

there's a saying that if you force yourself to do anything it will brings you to death
and someone should wake you up to prevent death

it happens to my brother too
and he is swelling and shaking
after we woke him up, he said that he is "nabangungot"

it is really scary. and it cause trauma to me. i can't sleep and eat for 2 days after the incident

I have it all the time. I absolutely hate it... one of the worst things ever.

ground chuck · 12-01-2008, 11:50 AM

ha, this hasn't happened to me in about 10 years. it would feel like a heavy weight was on my chest, but i couldn't move any part of my body. if i tried to talk no one heard me.

its just the oddest thing to ever happen to me and it only happened for a brief period in my life, maybe 3-4 months after that, nothing.

quexos · 12-01-2008, 03:50 PM

Sometimes not too often I wake up in the middle of the night but not fully then when I try to get back to sleep, there is this buzzing sound in my head and I feel like I'm moving fast though I see nothing then my body is paralyzed meaning I am aware but can't move my body which is freaky indeed. As a result I frantically try to take back control and it always comes back after a few seconds. Strange thing indeed. When that happens, I know I will have the body paralysis because it's always that way whenever I have the buzzing sound in my head.

dpomp · 12-01-2008, 08:57 PM

this happened to me a lot when i was younger. i can open my eyes but i can't move any part of my body so it's really strange. i don't recall ever seeing anything but like i said i was probably like 7 when it was happening frequently.

jovherye · 12-02-2008, 12:02 AM

Happened to me a few times in college, but that was 10 years ago. Hasn't happened since then, but, yeah. Scary stuff. Hearing voices, can't move, seeing shadows! That's all happened to me.
