poseidon 1,185 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I used to have it occasionally, nothing too big than before. It normally happens when I'm trying to fall asleep and I become paralyzed but before panicking and conjuring some scary hallucination I focus on my breathing and try to move my arms to get me out of it. My worst ones were the ones where I woke up paralyzed; 1.) and hearing footsteps and then feeling some prescence right beside my head 2.) seeing black figures throwing things at me 3.) feeling pressure at the back of my head and someone whispering in my ear haaaaah so have any of you had any experiences?

Solfa 7,163 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Yes. I saw a black figure sit on me, but I couldn't shake it away, and I felt like I was suffocating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeystan 10,291 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Yes. Mostly in childhood. Has been reemerging lately. I hate also having those dreams about it. You know those dreams where you wake up within a dream? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanasTwinkles 188 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Yes, I didn't see any mysterious figure, but I just remember I couldn't move or speak at all...it was more weird than scary tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanilla Cupcake 3,584 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I had it when I was a kid. A few times actually. The scariest time it happened was when I was sleeping facing down. I seriously thought I was going to die because I was face-down on my pillow and I couldn't breathe or move. The more I panicked, the more I couldn't move. I remember eyeing my parents who walked by (I used to sleep with my door open), and they didn't realize I was panicking. Then after some struggles, I was finally able to flip myself over. I sleep on my back ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexo 1,165 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 yes I woke up and couldn't move, there was this silhouette right on my side turned at me and i tried to scream, it was a little hard but I could make some noise that woke up my grandmother and she came to check on me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
car door guy 11,500 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 YES! only once though. I "woke up" to the feeling (literally felt it) of someone sitting at the edge of my bed. You know, you feel it indent? I have the bad habit of sleeping head under my covers and arms above my head. I thought it was my dad, so I wanted to nudge him with my foot. But I couldn't move (hence the paralysis). From that moment, it went batshit crazy. A creepy little girl (?) couldn't see her face, but "heard" her voice was asking me how old I am. And there was a swing? I couldn't scream but I wanted to so bad. Creepy sounds that I cannot remember kept playing over and over. My arms felt like they were being pressed down? anws, it added to the panic. Once I could move (I guess I managed to break out of the sleep paralysis?), I ran to my parents room ._.

petal 1,130 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I don't know if this would be classified as sleep paralysis but I had a moment when I was sort of asleep but also awake and I tried to move but I couldn't. It didn't take me long to get out of that state though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ha:tb 816 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Yes, it's horrible. I just had one a week ago, but I've had like 5 or 6 sleep paralysis. I've: 1) heard a baby crying 2) seen a human silhouette approaching to me 3) and some weird and distorted sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twice snatched my weave 5,987 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 i used to have them once in a blue moon as a kid but i haven't had them in a very long time honestly they're really scary lmao. as a kid i used to be afraid of the dark and any sort of noises during night time would scare me too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirlBye 27,959 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I've only had it happen to me once It was terrifying since I didn't know what was happening I couldn't move or talk and there was this skull looking face that was just staring at me and trying to touch my face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Hamster Named Loneliness 3,680 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I used to for a few months. I heard scary distorted sounds and I would also think I was awake but in reality I was still sleeping. I'm just glad I have extremely terrible night vision on top of having terrible vision (I'm extremely nearsighted) so I never saw any scary shit, especially since it takes a long time for my eyes to adjust to the dark and my sleep paralysis episodes never last more than 10-15 seconds. I also hated having the feeling that something is sitting on me. I don't know what caused it to stop, but I'm thankful I don't really get them anymore.

Runo~ 1,663 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I always used to have them as a kid. Now that I'm older, it's stopped happening frequently... I thought they were really scary at first but I used to have them so often that I became used to it. There would be times where I got little to no sleep so it became something annoying rather than scary for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vayafish 12,108 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Yes and it's often too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~daydream~ 451 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I would occasionally get it but no hallucinations or anything and I'd be able to get out of it quickly. At one point, though, I got it really frequently. During that time, my muscle would twitch, causing my shoulder to knock into my head repeatedly. I was really scared every time it happened, especially because most of the time I couldn't even open my eyes. Luckily I haven't experienced it in a while...

Kyzara 986 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Woah your stories O_O It only happened to me once when I was a child and sick with bronchitis. I was doing a dream where the streets around my house were turning really fast into an industrial sector and grey smoke everywhere so I tried to go to the park and I found Mickey Mouse who tried to help find my way back home. But finally I never made my way back home and Mickey Mouse started coughing because of the grey smoke and died from it beside me and then I started to cough in my dreams and I realized I was having a nightmare and I couldn't wake up. I started panicking even more in my dream and with a lot of efforts, I was able to open my eyes to see my comforter on my face but couldn't move and kept going back to my nightmare. I think it took me longer trying to wake up from my nightmare than the whole nightmare itself. And I remember pretty much everything vividly even though it was the most fucked up nightmare I ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant_Im 1,249 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 happens a few times but it's a rare occasion. i haven't had any in the past 3~4 years or so though it happened quite a few times when i was in school because i stayed in a boarding school some tip if possible: 1. avoid placing your bed right under the window 2. avoid positioning your bed with your feet facing the door.

greenncloudy 143 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I used to get sleep paralysis at least once a week when i was in my last year of high school. The most memorable one was when i felt my soul has left my body and i was dragged around my room by some kind of ghost. After that experience, i used Sleep Paralysis as my final presentation on a class and i got a high score for that lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
