Have You Ever Experienced Sleep Paralysis?

[Danny Gunz]

I have them usually when I take a nap during the day. I'll basically be having a dream while being awake in my bed but not able to move.

I experienced sleep paralysis a few weeks ago, for the first time. Three times in one night, I woke up around 3am and felt thirsty, I thought about getting up to get me a gatorade bottle from the fridge but to my surprise all I could move was my eyeballs, I was literately paralyzed...It only lasted about a minute, I fought it off with every last bit of strength I had. When I could finally move I started to pray, then like 10 minutes later it happened again for another minute, snapped out if it and five minutes later it happened again, I was terrified!

I went to my doctor the next morning and explained what happened and he said it sounded like sleep paralysis and not to worry since its harmless but just a bit scary. He sent me to a sleep disorder specialist and he said I had experienced SP.

I was happy to hear it is nothing serious, hell I thought I was gonna die...my mom said SP is caused by "demons" trying to pocess you. But I don't know, I hope it never happens to me again, it's scary as hell.

I've experienced something like this when i was about 5-6 years old. From my experienced, it was a bit more tensed compared to what some of you guys on here have wrote. On the night it happened before i was asleep, I was playing with my shadows and just goofing around like any 5-6 years old kid would.

So when i finally fall asleep and woken up to experienced what would became the most terrified moment of my life, I couldn't move, spoken up, ect. I tried to called my father for help, but couldn't spoken one word out. It was really an unusual and paranormal moment of my life and it frightened me still today.

as i type this im gettin a weird feeling of the paranormal because this happened to me before.. the funny thing is me and my cambodian homie was just talkin about this last night, it also happens to him.

ill share MY story anyway....

happened a few years ago when i was still living with a roommate. i was in my room, trying to fall asleep but cant. i was awake, with my eyes closed trying to fall asleep. as i was laying in my bed, i heard footsteps coming from the living room, towards me. i was like WTF there is noone in the house except me. so fuuck i was like gawdam this ***** is not happening to me. the footsteps came in closer and closer and stopped at the edge of my bed. WTF is goin on?! i was really terrified! WTF WTF! i felt a wierd shadow hovering over me, i wanted to scream, i wanted to GTFO but i couldnt!!! the more i struggle to get up the more pressure comes down to my chest, my arms and my legs like someone was holding me down. i wanted to scream, i wanted to get up but i couldnt. again i say i was awake because i covered myself with a blanket because i was terrified of what was goin on. i tried to get up but i was unable to because some entity was holding me down, i couldnt even fuucking scream!!!!!! when i realized i was helpless and a motherfuucking shadow was hovering over me, i prayed; said the Our father, hail marys and glory bes... after i finished praying, the presence disappeared, i got up, went to the living room and slept there for the rest of my lease.

yes this might be unbelievable to some but when u know theres a shadow hovering you, theres a fuucking shadow hovering over you. call my story a BS but tell me the last time i wrote a fuucking post this long. i knew there was something weird goin on in my room because it was the COLDEST area of the house.

Until last year it only happened to me once, it was the day after a heavy drinking session and had no sleep. When i went to bed i must have dropped off straight away and then i woke up again but realised i couldnt move, i sensed there was someone else in the room but couldnt quite see them, then boom a shadow came toward me and i woke up. Then last year in the summer i must have had it around 4/5 times in space of 3 months. I saw things from horrible faces staring at me from inches away, to things floating around the room. Then once night a figure at the edge of my bed was standing there and i it felt like it was strangling me, i was a bit scared then so went to docs the next day. He told me how the sleep paralysis wasnt goin to hurt me and just try relaxing a bit more before bed. Anyway it happened a couple more times but when it did i dint panic and it ended near enough straight away.

whats up with the fuucking "hallucinations", shadows and demonic presence we all feel tho? it seems like its all the same experiences. the strangling feeling of a demonic presence holding you down and strangling you? this ***** can be explained more paranormal than scientific.

Sound very similar to to what I've experienced. I don't have many refreshing childhood memories, but i know what i felt that night. It was either my mind played tricks on me or something else was there that night.
