Anyone that has experienced sleep paralysis will tell you that it's the most terrifying and intense feeling of pure terror that you'll ever experience in your life. I've experienced it 4 times in my life and last night it lasted for what felt like 5 minutes but who knows?
What happens is you are conscious but when you try to open your eyes you can't or when you try to move any muscle you can't, you try to scream for help but you can't, all you can do is think about what nothingness you're in. NO voice, no sound, Can't move, Can't open eyes, Can't do anything but think about this being what the dreadful afterlife is. I hope you never live to experience this but if you do you will look at life in a completely different way when you come out of it.
Last night I dreamed my skin peeled off and I had to wear it like clothing.
I've had sleep paralysis before and I'd choose that before having that dream again.
>>751611207
It happened to me once as a kid
I was laying in my bed eyes open seeing horrible faces flying about the room. I remember trying to call out for my mom so hard but I couldn't.
>>751611207
not that terrifying.. hallucinated a bit. then was fine. you should try to enjoy yourself when it happens instead of freakin the fuck out
>>751611207
Happened twice. First time was the only visual hallucination. It was a shadow person saying, "I am the archangel. No one will come for you." over and over again and every time it said it the voice multiplied.
i usually feel sleep paralysis when i wake up in the morning, then sleep again, literally cant move or open my eyes
>>751611207
ive actually had it before but nothing happened i was like "wtf i cant move" but just layed there thinking "well this sucks". nothing scary tbh. havent seen anything terrible while paralyzed sooo thank god
>>751611207
Happens to me about every other month. To me its more like a dream state though, I'm aware of my surroundings, and I think I'm about to do something like get out of bed, but then I realize I'm still in bed. Eventually I'll start talking/shouting and if someone is home, they normally come wake me.
>>751611207
See
>>751611444
I had it happen to me while I was a drunk in the service. It's a little startling, but for me it lasted less than a minute and wasn't bad. Would do again.
>>751611207
One time i woke up and i couldn't move or feel my arm from elbow down. Trust me, wondering if you will ever jack off again is far more terrifying.
Pretty much this >>751611463
It happens to me fairly often. I have some kind of sleeping disorder (undiagnosed, some kind of anxiety-induced insomnia and poor quality of sleep) and wake up like this a few times a year. It wasn't scary the first time and hasn't ever been scary, although there were times I felt like I was surrounded by people watching me sleep and other visual or perceptive hallucinations.
Never had any auditory hallucinations while in sleep paralysis.
I get it all the time, i actually learned how to controll, i just lay down and just wait, it takes about 15 minuets and i can feel it happening while fully awake, it feels like your body sudenly starts to get supper heavy then i start hearing wierd sound like babys crying, a woman screaming and UFO tractor beams. Pretty cool stuff
>>751611207
I get this at least once a week. some are more intense than others. Most of the time I just can't move and feel an evil presence in the room. I try to scream and move with all my strength but I can't. At this point, I know it's happening, so I try to tell myself it's okay - I just can't get over the idea that I would somehow get stuck that way...
A few of the more intense experiences are:
1) I used to live near a highway and trucks would drive by all night. One night I had sleep paralysis and thought that the lights and sounds were aliens. I felt like I was being touched all over as well.
2) I once was sick and hallucinated a civil war nurse over my bed. She was trying to saw off my leg. I broke free of the paralysis, but she did not go away. i tried to reach out and push her away, but she vanished. I did not sleep for over 24 hours after this, and was impacted up to a week later with poor sleep. to this day i am still not sure it wasn't a ghost.
3) the most recent one was i woke up and couldn't move, and i thought the room was on fire. i could smell the smoke, hear the popping sound of a fire, and see the glow of the fire. I was trying frantically to break free and i hallucinated a half-naked man run into the room and stand over me scratching his arms raw and asking if i had a hit. a second later i was free and it was all gone.
I will answer questions if anyone wants.
>>751611207
I don't understand how anyone could think sleep paralysis is scary after the first time. I've had it twice in my life. First time I was terrified because I couldn't move and my head felt like it was being split in half. But the second time I knew what was happening and knew that it would all pass in a minute or two. How could you still be scared your fourth time?
>>751612730
the sensation of not being able to move is extremely unnerving to me. even when i know what's going on, my brain decides to put me in a high state of anxiety. i think the worst part is feeling like there's someone in the room just outside of my sight - i can never convince myself that feeling is not real
>>751612524
Jesus dude, you get some strong hallucination, all i hear are people screaming loudly, so so loudly. But i like the experience, its increadible that i hear voices in head. I learned to go into sleep paralisis on command.
This happens to me sometimes... but every time I feel like i eventually 'break' it. Is it a force of will thing? Or am i getting my hopes up?
>>751612939
I get shit like that only about once a year. but it really fucks with my head.
>>751611207
the first time I used melatonin I got the dosage wrong
I felt drowsy and went to bed
then my body quickly went into "time to sleep - shutdown mode"
but I was wide awake still
after a while I gave up trying to sleep and tried to get up, and couldn't
I spent an hour or so just laying there trying to move
I didn't have any of the weight on my chest or presence in the room sensations that most people experience with sleep paralysis
>>751611207
Eh.
Had these since I was 6.
Always had terrible nightmares when I was a child.
By now I'm used to it.
It's quite chill tbh.
Easy way to pull yourself out if it is to relax. Wiggle a toe or finger, and trying falling back asleep. You'll immediately wake up and I usually shoot right out of bed with shortness of breath
>>751611207
Has this happen once or twice as a child. Scary as shit!!!!
This happened to me several times. I've never been afraid simply because I knew what it was.
The first time I opened my eyes and saw a baby-like Frankenstein monster staring and yelling nonsense at me. It was just a cloth once my mind adjusted.
The second time I woke up and saw a man form next to my bed. He was fat and didn't say anything. Eventually he just disappeared.
The third time I didn't bother opening my eyes and felt two arms wrap around me and pull me into the bed. It was both comforting and evil feeling.
I get all of the sensations.
>>751611207
Ive only had it once in my life and it was back when i was 19. I was plastered drunk and I felt somebody drawing on my face. I woke up and tried to slap them away but i couldnt move or even open my eyes. But like I said I was drunk and went back to sleep not giving a shit.
>>751611207
OP, not only are you a faggot, you are a dumb faggot. You want to know how to get over it? GO BACK TO FUCKING SLEEP! You are literally in between sleep and awake, close your eyes, go back to sleep, open them up and gone...fucking christ you people are more retarded then the chimps in the streets.
I was 15 when I started having my first sleep paralysis experiences, then it turned into something much more.
I stated having horrible nightmares. Shit so terrible it kept me up for over a week. I was scared to death to sleep.
After a year I began having really bad sleep paralysis in the mornings. I'd see shadow creatures, my family coming in and mocking me but I could sense their true intentions. People I considered friends slitting my throat. All kinds of fucked up shit.
I decided instead of sleeping in pitch black I'd open the curtains and sliding glass door. With the sun coming in, everything changed.
I woke up at the same time as usual, opened the curtains and door and went back to bed. I turned off the fan and there was pure silence. That when it hits after laying down to sleep. There's this buzzing hum and I feel that paralysis. I'm staring at the open door with the sun coming in and I realize I'm not using the right muscles. I jump out of bed and burst out my door. Then I realize I could fly. I never wanted it to end. When I become self conscious that the neighbors might see me flying over my house, I snap back into bed.
Sleep paralysis is a precursor to lucid dreaming, possibly even some deeper psychic shit like astral projection and remote viewing. I recommend anyone who experiences these things to continue researching how far they can go.
>>751613332
Happened for the first time when I was 15. Don't know why I didn't experience it when I was a child, I did have terrible nightmares as a child but they didn't bother me much because I've had hundreds of nightmares but this sleep paralysis was totally different and I never experienced it before that time.
I think that is the defense that Charley Rose will be using in the sex charges against him. He always looks like he is asleep or stoned
>>751612524
If animals could talk, which would be the rudest?
>>751614212
Probably a seagull. they are already pretty rude. they would probably verbally abuse you if you diddnt give them a french fry
>>751611207
This happened to new when I was younger. I could hear my cousin and little brother: the other room. Then a devil appeared in front of me and came closer til I woke up
>>751614597
how does the devil look like?
I think I've had something similar to this happen to me at least twice.
I was half awake but unable to move, like one of those dreams where you try to run but can't
It wasn't that bad, but I guess if I were more awake it might be worse
So I was masturbating you see, then I nod off and all remember was my body convulsing and a pitch increasing in intensity and my body being unable to move. I don’t know what this was but I’d gladly like to hear anyone’s ideas
I've had it a couple times and honestly it's uncomfortable but i find it interesting more so than scary tbh. Would do it agen
It's happened to me a couple of times.
The first time I was laying on the couch and could literally feel the chemicals in my brain putting me to sleep, I couldn't move and it felt like the most amazing high i have ever felt. It was this feeling of well being and just a hot knife cutting through butter.
The second one was beyond fucked up. I opened my eyes and could see this dark figure creeped up on the corner of the room just staring at me with these intense eyes. I tried every single fiber in my body to go and attack it because I felt in mortal danger. eventually I closed my eyes and woke up and could move again. it was fucked up.
I live with a guy who has apparently experienced it his entire life, up to and including the present. He told me that he didn't know what it was for years and doctors and his family didn't understand him or believe what he was saying. Sounds awful though, I think he's trying to psychosomatically transfer it to me though. He is foolish to attempt such a thing.
>>751611207
Honestly not that scary you pussy. I've had it frequently and even the first few times weren't too bad. I can force myself out of one
>>751614737
It looked just like the red faced guy from insidious but just black and curled horns. This was ... 2006? Really creeped me out when I seen that movie. Hasn't happened again.
>>751612524
Dang dude, i live by a busy enough road too. I've had sleep paralysis more times in the last month than i have my entire life so far. Sometimes I'm scared shitless, but it's more so panic that gets me. It's the not being able to move that gets me. I don't care so much about the evil presence feeding off me as much as i want to break free to charge headlong into it. The first time it ever happened to me was when i was in high school though and it scared the hell outta me. I was in my room on my back with everything the way it was when i wen to sleep except i felt a horrible sense of dread and was being pulled towards the ceiling to a black cloud with red eyes. Very rarely do i sleep on my back anymore and i always have my eyes wrapped when i go to bed.
I have had these of and on for most my life. At this point I know what it is but on occasion the image/dream changes and throws me for a loop.
My wife found out the hard way how bad it was for me at times.
> sleeping at a realatives house, fall asleep on their upstairs couch as she and my girls sleep downstairs
> short dream story version is someone breaks into the house
> I'm thinking I'm bound by something but just paralyses
> my wife hears me beginning to mumble a bit comes to investigate
> she says I was face down on the couch and locked eyes with her
> pure fear in my eyes
> she hesitates to wake me a bit stirs me awake completely
> finally catch my breath and sit up
> both wrist pouring blood
> thought I was tearing at duct tape on the wrist, actually my skin.
Fun.
>>751615180
Doubt it
>>751613288
this is how I break out
>>751611846
Same but i can also make myself have it. Do it a few times a week. Not bad

I think there was something about that house - not only was it near the highway, but the electricity was really bad. I had it pretty frequently in that house, it got quite a bit better when I moved out. I still make sure there's no plugs or any electronics charging near my head when i sleep, i feel like it makes it better.
>>751614737
to me he appeared in three different forms. 1 was
just a hand the second time he was fat and
cartoon like the last he was crazed and what
you would expect horns and mad.
>>751611207
Used to be bad when I was a kid. Just annoying now
>>751615576
Oh, yeah. Pic related.
>>751611207
it really sucks. It started happening to me when I was taking MDMA a lot and partying. I think that drug actually causes it because since I stopped taking it it stopped happening.
>>751615637
I have issue in new surroundings, my my fears off them. Camping.... It always happens when I fucking go camping in dead silence and the mind can pick any random notice and make it a nightmare scenario.
>>751615695
fuck I just posted this and my captcha was of a area by my house
>>751612524
wow that nurse one scared the wits outta me.
I once hallucinated I was going through a vortex on sleep paralysis. it was a bunch of red rings I was passing but it wasnt scary at all. my body was tingling and I can hear a clear humming sound.
second time I went into sleep paralysis I felt the same buzzing around my body ad I couldnt move. all these animals surrounded me from the animal kingdom and angrily roared/hissed/crowed at me. it was so scary I didnt want to open my eyes (never knew if I could either).

>>751611207
There was a small period in my life when I would consistently sleep and I would hear small whispers in my ear along with a really loud ringing and I would be immediately awake with my eyes open but I couldn't move properly, It was so strange, I was moving my body, but it was in literal slow motion, all of my body was synchronised to this really slow movement and I could feel the muscles in my body individually, like I had accessed some sort of super-awareness, I didn't see naything, but I could hear disembodied voices saying indecipherable things. I would eventually be able to move and I would close my eyes to sleep again and the ringing started again along with an intense bllod flow to my head, I coud hear the blood.
Would you say this counted as sleep paralysis, I was in a state of anxiety during the whole ordeal, I also get extremely anxious when I've attempted to astral project so maybe it was a sort of form of disembodiment, but not fully realised? idk.
>>751611207
I'm 33 years old. I have had sleep paralysis and night terrors 4 to 5 times a week my entire life. I usually get them coupled, I will have a night terror, wake up screaming, and then immediately be paralyzed. At this point in my life it's become so regular its almost mundane.
>>751611207
it started when I was a kid and have had it for 15 years.. Had the internet back then but it took me a few years to actually search the experiences I had.. The very first time was during the day, loud humming in my ears.. was laying in my bedroom. I swore aliens or something were coming to get me, I just laid there and couldn't move staring at the door waiting for them to walk in but it never happened.. As it started to happen more frequently I eventually started seeing this large shadow creature that was similar to a man but way bigger and too wide to be a man (not in a fat way) ... have seen these in the day and night. Everytime it has happened to me (sometimes multiple times a night) has felt extremely evil. I feel sorry for anyone else that has to deal with it...
There was one time that I did have an out of body experience. was weird as shit I woke up looking directly at the ceiling it was right in front of my face, I was so confused
>>751615637
Really makes you think. I might have to keep the electronics away from my head, but I've never noticed if anything is worse or not when there are. This stuff usually happens when I'm incredibly stressed, but sometimes just when i sleep on my back. Pretty sure my grandmother died in this house and my room was her old room. If i were her, I'd haunt the shit out of me too if i saw the stuff i do in here.
>>751615902
I think that sometimes it can combine with when your arms or legs fall asleep, it has a terrible sensation. Also, like you said the feeling of motion is pretty crazy, it's like a falling dream but you are awake. Does that sound familiar?
>>751613249
how are nightmares chill?
yes i grew up i've had 3 bouts of sleep paralysis where i had to fight for my life i mean surrender my life to lights it's gay and very scary but i am not scared of it cause it's stupid
>>751611207
Had a dream one night that I woke up as someone opened the door to my bedroom and shot me while I was in bed. The dream woke me up immediately as the gun was fired, and I experienced a few terrifying moments of sleep paralysis. I was convinced in the moment that the dream had been real and that the paralysis was what it was like to be dying from a gunshot wound. I remember trying to call for help but my face was frozen. After a few moments I was able to get up out of bed, but by this point I was very confused and brain foggy. It was years before I learned what sleep paralysis was, and I was freaked out about this experience for a while after.
>>751611207
Say the name of Jesus and it'll stop. just try it.
>>751616154
<not having chill nightmares
You havent lived until you're having dream joints with the evil spoopy skelington nigger chasing you
>>751616112
yeah man, NEVER sleep on your back. pretty much guaranteed for me to get it if I do that. A lot of folks have said the same to me when i bring it up.
>>751611207
Man I had this happen to me a lot as a child I must have surpassed it because I haven't thought about it till now thanks OP
>>751616058
it makes you think about all those folks that say they have been abducted
>>751612730
It happened to me when I was a kid and we really didnt have the internet and I had shitty parents who I didn't tell this to because they are even more crazy.. So I was scared as fuck most nights because it would happen multiple times throughout the night
>>751611207
It's not something you get used to, but eventually you'll know the signs for when you're falling into that haze and have to stop yourself going to sleep in such a manner.
Worst sleep experience I ever had was multiple false awakenings, from a dream, into a dream of being in my room, awake. Waking up into a deranged form of my room, aware that I just had two false awakenings and was trapped. There was a third part but I cba finding it right now, the panic when finally escaping was like nothing else. Genuinely having to check reality.
You're on entry level shit OP, enjoy your shadow figures standing watch, and imagining people walking into your room you're aware you're immobile.
>>751613060
just dependso n the person
for me it only happens for like 30 secs to a couple minutes, but it happens all the time for me throughout the night
for my grandfather his are less common but he is stuck in his for 15+ minutes
Crazy dreams, put a nicotine patch on before you go to sleep, that will get you some lucid dreams
had it once on the top of my bunk bed bc some asshole turned my light on and i just kinda sat there for about hour until i woke up. wasnt scary at all. most scared ive ever been was when i was in my old house at like five and i saw some skeletons down my hallway

I don't know, guys. That fan is ALWAYS on when I go to sleep. I need the sound of it to sleep properly, otherwise I hear ringing in my ears. I don't know if it was a ghost or sleepwalking or what, but something turned my fan off.
>>751613249
this, I also have terrible nightmares and nightly sleep paralysis
it's not so bad, I'm used to it now
upside: not scared of the dark or scary movies anymore
>tfw depressed and love sleeping even though it always scares the shit out of me
>>751613551
fuck off, its a new experience to him asshole. its freaky as fuck until you realize youre not the only one
holy shit, ive always thought it was just something weird that has happened to me once in awhile since i was young. I havent looked into it or spoken to anyone about it. I normally panic for a second but come to the realization i am sleeping. When i want to wake up its all of a sudden and in a jolt I wake up but other times i try and i do not succeed and remain asleep. i hate this feeling
>>751611207
I wouldn't say all of that, but the feeling of not being able to breath really fucks with me, even if for a brief moment, it's like near drowning.
>>751616567
>Reply
Sleep paralysis is pretty easy to escape... just try to rub your fingers together on each hand, works every time.
>>751615014
pls explain the chemicals in the brain. what did it feel like?
>>751611207
I actually experience it all the time. Sometimes it's terrifying, sometimes it's just annoying. Like sometimes I'll be fully aware of what's happening and I'm just lying there not able to move, and while it's extremely uncomfortable, it's not too bad and I just end up thinking about shit as if I were awake and not doing anything. However it's also happened where I've hallucinated that I was surrounded by wasps and I was getting attacked by them but couldn't do anything about it but endure. Even after I woke up it still felt like my body went through some shit.
RISP self diagosed here. That plus past unresolved traumas PLUS My MDMA(serotonin) & heroin(withdrawal) abuse lends my episodes VERY recurrent & hypnagogic. Also lmao at the people trying to be authorities speaking in absolutes on such a subjective experience

>>751613551
u guys so cooL!!!!
>>751611207
I had sleep paralysis only one time. During that night, i opened my eyes and immediatly saw a black cat entering my bedroom. I didn't knew where it came from. I tried to make noise so it will leave, but impossible to move . I was fucking terrified. That cat climbed on my bed, and then sat on my torso. i could clearly feel his weight and thought that this demonic cat was going to eat my face. Then in my head i screamed help, and suddently that cat run away out of my bedroom. I remember i was very confused for a good hour, thinking it was a spirit visiting me .
>>751613551
It either happens right as you're falling asleep or right as you're waking up. If it happens as you're falling asleep, then yes, going to sleep is the best option. If it's happening as you're waking up, then there's really nothing you can do.

>>751615353
this makes no sense, how the hell do you tear your skin, you cant move anything but your eyes
>>751611207
I have it all the time had it since I was a kid. At first it was insane and traumatic. Now though, it is something I'm used to. When it happens I just focus on breathing and wake myself up or sink into it and trip balls. Sometimes I freak myself out though because it's like I transport into a state where I can feel hundreds of hands touching me but I can't see anything... so yeah the brain can be weird.
>>751615576
tourist guide (Haunted/ghost tour) in Charleston, SC told me this too, calls them riders and people that visit there have it happen to them occasionally (first timers)
>>751617057
Well that was my first time running back there.
>>751611207
you people probably have weird diets. i wonder if it might be sodium and a lot of sugar. i've avoided both for most of my adult life and have never experienced anything like this.
the reason i think it's diet related is because i drink and smoke weed and as i've been in that mode for about 10 years i've noticed that i'll still be dreaming when i wake up. i actually wrote a paper about it for a philosophy course because it was on topic based on the material we were on in "minds, brains, and computers".
i call them "dream seeds". i actually experienced it about 6 hours ago as i was waking up late. it's like a wild sequence of images that seem to be completely unrelated and come so fast, you couldn't possibly describe them. it's like random bits from 100 films i've never seen going by in 2 minutes. they can be anyone or anything in any situation, and i know i've never seen them before. that was to discuss how dreams are supposed to happen really fast based on our real time existence and since you get 100 in two minutes, each could trigger its own dream or end up being an element of it.
since i can float at that level of brain waves based on my diet, maybe you idiots are stuck in this mode because of yours.
also though, i've done the equivalent of two ounces of liquid LSD and a quarter pound of shrooms and smoked 30 pounds of weed in my life.

I have this weird ability were i can induce it at will. Coziest way to fall asleep
>>751616923
I think you are always able to move/speak/yell during these events. It's your brain saying otherwise. Hence people screaming, feeling sensations of false objects moving (really their own body), opening/closing eyes.

no never heard of being able to move, even extremely slowly during sleep paralysis. You literally can't move a finger no matter how hard you try. You can move your eyes and you hear this humming or white noise in your ears.

yes, the bullshit brain takes the most nonsense sound and makes it into a fuckmare for no reason. fucking piece of shit mind.
>>751615987
same here bro, multiple times a night. shit sucks.. used to be scary, sometimes is during but I'm so used to it that I instantly fall back asleep
>>751617184
wow you sound fucking insufferable. Read >>751616817
and maybe a peer-reviewed article or 2
>>751615241
Don't even get me started on that red faced faggot
>>751616243
this. I'm not religious at all but I just repeat the name loudly in my head a few times and it usually ends them quicker.. Maybe its putting my mind/body at ease and allowing me to get out of it faster rather than panicking but idk, it helps
>>751617834
I think if you repeat anything enough times it will stop. lol
For those actually experiencing this, make sure to drink plenty of fluids before bed. Dehydration and sleeping on your back are both contributing factors for sleep paralysis. I get it much less frequently now by following these simple tips.
>>751616318
forgot about this, yeah its guaranteed for me too.. Forgot why I even sleep on my sides all the time now. If for some reason if I roll on my back from laying on the side while I'm sleeping, I will wake up and go into the paralyzed state.
Had a sleep paralysis dream before where I couldn't move but the entire time a child was screaming in my ear.
>>751611207
I've had this "sleep paralysis" before, wasn't that bad. I spent 5 minutes hardly awaken and unable to move, dream was going on but knew what was going on. You're amping something up that shouldn't be that amped up. My worse experience was when I ran into a giant-fuck garden orb weaver and it landed on my face, I woke up unable to move, freaked me out a little bit, may have said out loud "kill me," as I thought it was eating my face, but it wasn't really that terrifying once I learned I was just dreaming.
>>751611207
Geez OP. You've never had that happen? I've had that since I was a kid. Every now and then. Usually accompanied by nightmares. It is possible to wake yourself from it once you realize it though. Takes all your might. >>751611207
>>751616705
not true, cant move fingers
It happens to me a few times when the creepy shit comes astral project and defend my body until i am able to move again.
>>751611207
cant you control your breath ? ive noticed the only thing i could control was breath , do it as fast as possible to shake body out of it
the most fun version of paralysis is that one with demon which you see and hear , i had such a demon in the past , the scariest evil bitch i ever seen in life , empty eye sockets , mouth full of 5cm long teeth , holding me by neck and screaming , once when it was happening i said "IM WONDERING HOW HAIRY IS YOUR CUNT !!!" , scream shut insantly , she froze for 2 seconds , disappeared , never came back
generally laughing at demons destroys them
>>751616447
how the fuck do you keep track of time in a sleep paralysis moron.
Yes I have experienced it
>Be me
>Wake up in the middle of the night staring into pitch black
>Realize I can't move my arms, legs or anything at all.
>start to major panic
>Suddenly I see something move near the foot of my bed.
>See a very pale white woman with long black hair in front of her face.
>Her Eyes glow red
>She moves up closer to me and I start to realize she has multiple, long arms similar to a spider but with hands on the end with long claw like nails.
>She brings her face up to mine and I close my eyes
>She starting screaming "Look at me!!!!!"
>Paralyzed in fear I kept my eyes closed.
>she starts screaming and shaking me violently for what seems like forever.
>eventually she disappears and i fall back asleep.
Happened about a year ago. Still haunts me.
>>751616562
this one gave me the chills
is there any scientific explaination what that paralysis is ? is that some metal sickness or brain damage ? why different ppl have similar visions ?
>>751618617
When we sleep, our bodies get sedated by certain drugs. If we didn't, we'd constantly wake ourselves up when we dream.
Sleep Paralysis is just the brain waking up while those drugs still have our bodies shut down.
it's nothing amazing or anything.
>>751618617
I think it's just normal.
There's been studies about it. I think the only thing they figured out is that it's real, and that then can induce it with magnetic fields or something
>>751618884
what about those demons and terror ?
>>751618884
For me it only occurs once every year if even that often. Why does it occur so rarely for me?
>>751618617
No one really knows how sleep works. Sleep paralysis occurs when you're stuck in the transition of being asleep and awake.
Odds of it happening to me are higher when I change my sleep schedule. One thing that always helps me wake up is to try and fall asleep during sleep paralysis. Still easier said than done, since you usually panic with the hallucinations.
Had the worst one where I could visually see what was going around me, but couldn't move for 30 minutes. Was the only time I slept with my eyes opened.
Had it a few nights ago, woke up 3 times before it happened feeling super groggy. Went to sleeps and woke up but realized I couldn't move, I knew exactly what was happening and didn't open my eyes at all because I was terrified of seeing some fucked up shit and just wiggles my thumb until I finally was able to move.
For that 30 second period it was super intense and scary as shit and I didn't even see anything.
twice for me in memory anyway; First time it was sheer terror - I opened my eyes and my head was at a funny angle so I tried to right myself and sit up but I couldn't - I panicked and manage to wrench myself up right but it was sheer exersion mentally and physically draining. The second time I wasn't as scared but still disconcerted that I couldn't move anything but my eyes.
The only time I remember this happening to myself was when I woke up screaming. (First time I even woke up screaming from a bad dream) But I do remember a dark shadowy figure floating above me that I couldn't even see the face. Tried moving my head to any side bc I was scared, my fingers which I barely managed to move my index finger, & next thing I know, I'm trying to scream as hard as possible and as soon as I awoke, my scream was let out.
>>751611207
When I had sleep paralysis I focused everything on one body part at a time and tried to get it to move. At first nothing, but after gaining slight feeling in my finger the speed of recovery drastically increased.
>>751611207

fuck off
>about to go to sleep and reading all this about you fucked up crazy people
welp
Literally had a dream last night where my parents thought I molested some kid and then went through all my shit and found my really fucked up porn collection on an external drive. Was such a long dream where you wish you wake up but don't and heaps more really bad and depressing shit happened. Was quite removed from real life because I don't even live at home
>>751620339
>Oh boohoo.
There. You happy now?
>>751620672
Maybe it was the life of another you from another dimension (timeline?)
I use to be a heinous drug addict, benzos, herion, whatever I could get.
One night I was sleeping in my apartment with my girlfriend and I woke up from a bad dream, to my surprise I was completely paralyzed, I had no idea what was going on.
I was having a panic attack I was so scared, I thought I was going to be paralyzed for life. Then somehow I fell back a sleep, woke up fine.
Now I still get muscle spasms but haven't ever had it again, it was some scary shit.
5 months sober doe.
>>751620672
I've had dreams too where they just seemed so long in the span of your 6-8 hours of sleep. Feels like you woke up from another life and relieved when you wake up.
>>751611207
Only happened to me once.
The whole time there were these waves of burning in my eyes. At the same time there was a low rumbling getting more intense as the burning got stronger. Then the rumbling would fade and my eyes would burn less. Then it would return.
It was fucking weird.
I've gotten used to it. The first few times I got scared to death, seeing and hearing shit, now that I know what it is, is not that scary. One thing I've noticed tho is that if I'm paralyzed, and i try to get up, I'll stop breathing. IDK why, but it only happens when I try to get up
>>751613288
This. I usually just keep my eyes closed to avoid visual hallucinations and slowly try to move my hands, as soon as I'm able to move, I'll rush to turn the lights on, with that, the anxiety-stress state of my mind goes off

>>751620876
Yeah, when I was younger I had really really good recall of my dreams. Still remember some even now. Had quite a few of the long ones where it's really epic and good. Worst one I had was one where I thought I had worked out I was in a dream so I shot someone but then the dream kept going for ages and I slowly got more and more scared it was real. Cops eventually cornered me hidding up in the racking of a warehouse and I woke up when they shot me.
This used to terrify me as a kid. Now it still kind of does, but it gives me the craziest rush, I never feel more alive than when experiencing this shit.
>>751616318
Shit, I thought it was only me. This is what I do when I want to have a reaction
>>751617184
Diet is probably heavily involved. I know if I eat chocolate or any sugar-heavy thing 30-45 mins before I go to sleep, I'll have a fucked up night
>>751611207
Used to get them all the time all u can do is try to take the deepest breath u can. I know u felt that auto breathing going on and in your head your just yelling, well just keep trying to take over the auto breathing even if it's just little staggers. It's like starting a car once u pull that deep breath in your clear. Take it from a guy who's fucked in the head and sees evil shit when it happens. Saying old rymes helped me also during the scary shit seeing things hover over me or feeling a ...thing in the room almost as if it's on top of you or besides u right in your corner. If u get to that remember your here and it's not so u win. And take that breath
Isnt actually scary once you get used to it and know how to wake yourself up from it.
>>751618039
Had so.ething simaler but sounded like the little girl laugh in Nazi zombies really inhumane ly loud in the room not next to me but near in the coner
>>751618112
To realize it is simple mid dream it's waking up. From it when your eyes are open that's a pain. Just breathe tho
>>751622120
Exactly, scary dreams to me now are old bad memories like losing my dog, not Freddy Kruger being a jack ass killing me constantly or Terminator end world fears. Guess it's all about growing up
>>751611207
I experienced it, specially when trying to get into lucid dreaming, but I never really care, it doesn't feel scary to me. I just wait untill I fully wake or just fall back asleep again.
I even had old had syndrom a couple of times, but didn't care about that either for some reason I'm too tired to get afraid.
>>751611207
knew someone that had this in high school but she got it every night.
she said just got used to the fact that she wasn't going anywhere for about 5 minutes after she woke up.
>>751611207
>Be sleeping
>Wake up, can't hardly move. Head is heavy.
>Freak out.
>Yell but nothing comes out.
>See grandma standing in the corner.
>She has been dead for five years.
>Smiles at me and waves as she walks closer.
>Freaking out as she gets right up at face level.
>"You will grow up to be a hot bimbo slut. A piece of ass for men to fuck!!"
>She says this about 12 times in a row.
>Her face then melts and spiders fly out of her eyes.
>Her head blows up and neon lights spell out "bimbo slut"
>I wake up, heart racing.
Fucking sleep paralysis.
>>751621409
Yea, I've had good dreams that when you wake up, you wish you were still living in that dream. I know I've had quite a few, but can't remember them. Although I've had really bad ones as well, like yours, & I still can't remember those too. (But I know I dreamt it.)
I've woken up after being pushed off or jumping from a building. As soon as I was about to hit the floor, I wake up, thinking to myself,
>pheew, it was only a dream.
>>751611207
Not always scary, I toss and turn and have problems sleeping. So I put myself in sleep paralysis to stay still and it knocks me right out.
>>751611207
I've had sleep paralysis with the shadow fuckers coming and all. It wasn't that bad. You are just a pussy.
Anyone one that thinks that shit is worth anything more than laughing about is a fucking pussy. Grow the fuck up children.
>>751622797
Lol
Grandma must've known your little secret.
>>751611207
I tried it for a handful of times as well. I think the first time probably lasted 30-60 seconds that felt like an hour of me screaming in my head. Pretty much as you described it, can't open eyes or move a muscle. Brain is awake, but body is not responding at all.. I was terrified I was in a coma or something. I was sweating like a pig the first time when i finally woke up.
I was afraid to go back to sleep that evening. I think it was at least a year between 'episodes' - but I have noticed at some point that i was always sweating a lot when i finally woke up. So i switched to the thinnest duvet i could find. Havn't had en episode since then.
First time i was probably 10, i am 35 now and havn't had an episode in 10-15 years i think.
>>751622944
>I put myself in sleep paralysis
how?
>>751616243
As an experiment, you should try repeating the name of Batman instead of Jesus. My prediction is that it will stop with the same frequency.
>>751617834
Try screaming with all your might. You might wake up screaming.
I get sleep paralysis occasionally, usually every couple months unless I am stressed or I end up sleeping on my back, which I avoid because 90% of the time I sleep on my back. I have gotten it sleeping on my side and stomach but its rare. I don't see anything when it happens to me, it's weird I usually have the feeling of ghost limbs that are trying to smack myself awake but it never happens and I obviously am not moving in reality. I also mostly see darkness and sometimes I see a peek of light like I am trying to open my eyes but can't fully. I had a weird dream once I had a dream in my dream in my dream and all were different levels of sleep paralysis with the full feeling, it started with me falling asleep in my bed having sleep paralysis then waking up in my dream to be in a hospital bed, falling asleep in my dream again to more sleep paralysis, happening again waking up in my bed in the dream and sleeping again and then I finally woke up in real life.

My sleep paralysis has evolved. Now my eyes stay shut but i can tell something is watching me, ive trained myself to wake up by blinking in my sleep 3 times... learned that trick from shark boy and lava girl
>>751622998
IDK if it works the same for everyone, but sleeping on my back ends up in sleeping paralysis 90% of the time.
>>751623783
Ps i used to be fully awake when it would happen
>>751623783
You gotta be kidding me... That's how I intentionally wake up, not exactly three times tho, just one "focused" blink. The only difference is that I do this in actual dreams (and/or nightmares)
>>751623971
Yeah i used to only get nightmares as a kid, thats how i would force myself to wakeup
>>751624131
I've been able to "revisit" some of my childhood nightmares like that, but now, knowing that I can actually wake up when I want to, has been easier to overcome them.
>>751611207
I experienced sleep paralysis once or twice. This pretty much sums it up:
>zzz
>zzz
>z..
>JESUSFUCKINGPANICKATTACKHOLYFUU
>zzz
I've had sleep paralysis many times so far, and most were when I was a kid... One of them correlated to having seen a UFO shortly beforehand which was weird. Legit large saucer craft hovering above some trees. Multiple witnesses. Probably just a coincidence, but who knows.
I had an episode a few nights ago, one where I couldn't breathe temporarily or open my eyes, and my head was under the blanket. Usually I would have freaked out, but this time I didn't. No panic, nothing. Just waited to see if it was going to go away and if I would resume breathing. Figured there isn't anything else I could do, so why make it worse by becoming terrified?
You're going to die. Approximately 100 billion people before you experienced it and you will too. It's not anything new, and nothing to be unexpected. It's the surest thing to us all. But death is nothing to fear, only the process is worth worrying about.
>>751611207
I had an experience once in my life so far, I lost all feeling in my body and couldn't move or say a thing as i was turned on my side facing a wall there was something holding me by the legs shaking me for what seemed like 10 minuets. It made me feel so powerless an afraid like something had full control over me
>>751624461
Yòooooooooo i just had one 2 months ago and right before i seen a ufo when i went for a smoke before bed
>>751624353
Thats some stranger things shit lol ive never done that before lol
if I fall asleep on my back its almost auto sleep paralysis
fucking awful
>>751611207
I have experienced this many times. It is scary. I’ve always been able to get out of it by praying to the one the only Jesus Christ.
>>751611207
It can be pretty scary but it doesn't have to be. I'll try to keep this short and simple.

PROTIP: During sleep paralysis, you can still move your mouth and lips, even though the rest of your body is paralyzed.
To escape paralysis, just start "popping" your lips making a popping sound
and in a short amount of time, you'll regain movement and "wake up" from it.
>>751611207
What sucks when I get it is that I am aware of where I am and its always the sam
im lying in my bed and a family member calls my name outside a window or right next to me in my room
my face scrunches up and i start to clench my jaw as I try to move or speak
they keep calling me but i cant do anything
it can be scary but ive learned to tell myself its just an episode calm down wake up
>>751614212
Spiders of course. This sneaky motherfuckers would crawl up to you when you expect it the least and scream SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKER!!! as loud as possible and you would die from a stroke. 101% positive
>>751611207
I used to get sleep paralysis all the time. Actually I thought it was kinda neat. Somewhat scary.
Almost getting murdered and needing to run away from a methhead with a knife who fully intends to kill you is much scarrier.
Google "karabasan" dumpshits
>>751611207
I had something similar when I was kid, but I remember vividly that I can move my head, so I don't know about all this paralisys. All the rest, old hag walking behind curtains and black motherfucker, blacker than coal with two tiny reddish glowing eyes standing besides my bed. He choke me for like 10 seconds and then just move super quickly under floor. To this day I have goosebumps.
>>751627750
That is exactly what sleep paralysis is dumpshit. Just another spoopy name for it so paranormal fags can believe they're special snowflakes. Kek
Over the years I've grown accustomed to sleep paralysis, and my mind recognises when it happens but still makes no effort to snap out of it.

>>751611207
I've had sleep paralysis many times but never the "terror" they speak of. Rarely get a slight feeling of fear or discomfort, but I'm aware of what's happening and just lie there.
>>751628049
symerian wrote about it 3000 years ago
>is it summer
>>751619035
i think it's your psyche reacting to the sensation of not being able to move in a very violent manor
kinda like having a bad mindset on LSD leads to a bad trip, your brain flips the fuck out when you start to panic from the paralysis itself
>>751626190
This happened to me only once, the blowjob thing. But I actually saw "her" or whatever it was.
Also, another time a black shadow choked me while is Sleep Paralysis, but I struggled and fought back somehow.
And also a cool story...
When I was in highschool there was this hot mom (looks like Jessica Biel). Anyway, I somehow got news that she suffered from Sleep Paralysis, and that "someone" always approached her and kiss her. This was constantly. I figured, shit if I was a ghost I'd do the same with her or other hot women (that was my thinking back then).
Have experienced sleep paralysis hundreds of times not sure why but i think it was to do with lack of sleep - one night i had it 6 times so i couldnt sleep and i can no longer stay awake for long amounts of time or it comes back, even in naps it would happen which was fucking shit i went to sleep one night and this person started slapping me and punching me and i learned to not open my eyes during it otherwise i would see them and i was defenseless and i used to try scream for help and no sound would come out of my mouth happened to me 100's of times --- sleep paralysis is fucking shit
>>751611207
It was never a feeling of terror for me, I was just mildly annoyed by it. If I concentrate hard enough I can break through it. Once it got really weird. Usually I just experience the paralysis but that time I had inception like dream levels and on the last level I experienced sleep paralysis. This time though, there was a shadow floating in the corner of my room, trying to reach out for me. That got me mad as fuck, I tried to scream for it to piss off, and when I managed to break through, I was sitting upright in my bed, very sweaty. That was a crazy experience.
>>751628049
and what if you don't sleep and sees that fucked up thing on your father?. I have that once, I and my father go to sleep wathing tv. I woke up in the night and look on my father. I see that there is something black and furry close to his mouth. I assume that it's our dog. He do that shit when he wants to go out. So I get up, put my shirt on and want to take little shit for a quick walk. He is no longer with my father. I was pretty amazed by it because I don't hear him walking away and it was like 6 second when I put my shirt. I call him and he walks from his pillows in the corner of the room. There is no fucking chance that he goes back in 6 seconds to his place and pretend to sleep agin. Hes old and he gets from his place very long,not to mention walking. Also I must add that my father in that time complain on lungs pain and back pain. He went to check up and he's fine.
Ugh. Fucking weak minded sheeple.
If you KNOW you're having sleep paralysis then why the fuck would you "scream for help"? I bet you are scared of the "dark shadows" and shit you think you see.
Your fucking body is asleep, and your brain is not, why the fuck is that so hard to understand? And you can actually snap out of it with enough will. You can force your body to wake up no matter what stage of sleep your body is.
Still, I say to just embrace it, I for one love the experience and try to induce it.
not really sleep paralysis but i had a very weird dream as a kid once

I get it like 10 times a monthly, should I be worried? Is it a sign my brain is malfunctioning?
I don’t know if this counts as sleep paralysis, but when I was younger I had these awful experiences where I’d have a dream that involved water. It would always start out with me relaxing on water but then it would start covering my face slowly and I’d try to move but couldn’t and it would get to the point where I couldn’t breathe because of the “water”. I’d wake up abruptly and be gasping for breath and drenched in sweat. Disgusting, unusual amount of sweat. Had about 3 of those experiences.
But the true one I had, some big burly dude just walked into my room and got on top me. He pinned my arms to my bed so I tried to knee him in the back but my legs wouldn’t move. And then he put hands around my neck and once again I was gasping for breath. When I snapped out of that one and woke up I cryed so fucking hard. I don’t think I’ve ever cried that heavily from a non-funeral related thing. Scary shit
>>751629197
you have stage 4 gay it seems
>>751629300
Just as I suspected
Happens to me fairly often. When it does I usually see a mass of shadow moving very slowly and deliberately towards me while hearing static. I know if it reaches me it will be bad. That feeling of helplessness and doom is pretty indeecribable to someone who hasn't experienced it. These days I can snap out of it but it's very difficult. I usually try to scream (dunno why, no one's gonna hear me) but when that invariably fails I try to rock my body back and forth and it usually does the trick. Ever since I figured out how to beat it it happens much more rarely and I kinda miss it tbh. That level of fear makes me realize I want to live.

annoying but he's not wrong,.First time I had it it was scary, but then I googled it, read about it, and the next time it happened I could just be like "oh it's sleep paralysis the hallucinations aren't real and this will pass". Now I kinda like it, breaks up the monotony of my life a bit. At worst it's frustrating

I have quite a few more, but these two are the best. I experience this phenomenon so often because I have (undiagnosed) depressive insomnia, so I wake up real easy.

I get this happening pretty often. I can usually move my fingers and face. I find that if I try to make my face as small as possible, it gets me out real quick. When it doesn't work it causes a very intense pain. A slower method is just to wiggle your fingers until you can move your wrist, keep rotating your wrist until you can move your forearm, so on and so forth,
>>751611207
Had a few strange things happen to me:
First:
>Be young, around 13 years old
>Get tired one night and decide to go to bed early and everyone else is still outside enjoying a bonfire we had burning
>I have to have my room blacked out in order to sleep (no lights at all) and I cannot have something on my face to block light, because it annoys the shit out of me
>Nobody else is in the house at all and I close my door to go to bed
>My room has almost nothing in it except a bed and other needed items, but nothing strewn all over
>I climb into bed and am getting ready to fall asleep not even five minutes later (have an alarm clock at the foot of my bed off to the side that I can see if I sit up slightly) when I feel my bed sink as if someone sat on it
>When I shut my door there was nobody in my room at all
>My door never opened to allow someone to enter
>I was so scared I could not even make a sound if I tried
>To this day I still don't know what it really was, but I will never forget it
Second:
>When walking in the woods only (does not matter where I am) I hear people calling me and nobody is ever there, but I can feel it like something is truly watching me and it never leaves me
>Third:
>I see the phenomenon known as the hat man often
>I have also woke up and glanced over the side of my bed to witness a strange black demon like figure (not sure) laughing hysterically trying to swing what looked like a sickle at my head
I also have some very wicked dreams all of the time:
>Being in terrible wars
>Demons or I don't fucking know just terrible creatures
>Dying in my dreams often from decapitation, car accidents, falling off of cliffs, being hunted by someone while I am out in the woods, I can go on and on.
This only happens to the weak minded. True fact.
Heres a sleep paralysis i had i drew on snapchat, i saw him in a haze when i was half woke up but i dont believe its sleep paralysis i think its real cus i smacked him and felt him several times but i think his cloack wouldnt dissapear and ive never found anything under my bed
>>751631808
More info???
>>751629955
"Oooo shadows scare me and I want to scream but I can't"
Kill yourself.
>>751631172
THANK YOU
Fucking retards thinking it's something supernatural. Read a fucking book.
>>751631961
nice piss bottle
>>751631961
It also tried to make me think i was raped by a lesbian biker gang and put purple memories in my head
Welll. Does it count when ur peeing while sleeping dreaming ur in a restroom, ur tryin to stop it but it takes 4-5secs to get up. Ur aware on it tho.
>Had sleep paralysis
>Hear something in the kitchen with loud foodsteps, sounds like its dragging a rake or something
>intruder
>get up to go and dispense justice
>cant move any muscles, realise I'm in sleep paraylsis ( I stop worrying and chill out at this point)
>hold my breathe to wake my body up
>monster thing instantly charges into my room
>starts screaming in my ear from like 6 inches away
>cant hold my breath to wake up cause im giggling so hard
>get back to sleep after a little while and had nice dreams all night
Was a pretty cool experience.
>>751632127
Why would you giggle you stupid niggle
>>751632158
Because he realize it was his brain doing tricks instead of all the faggots here terrified for literally absolutely nothing.
>>751632158
Once I realised that it was just sleep paralysis I was kinda excited and was checking out what it was like. Also a bit of relief that I didn't have to go and hit the crazy dude who lives near me over the head in the kitchen again.
>>751611207
Simple I can't move and I see that cunt with the Wide brim hat. I feel like a can't take a breath and my eyes water.
Every time someone brings up shadow people or I see a depiction, my eyes began to water and I start to feel anxious.
>>751611207
I had sleep paralysis, i went back to sleep like it was nothing
Didn't hallucinate (thank fuck) but the one time it's happened to me before I thought I was going to die as I felt like I was sinking away every time my eyes closed, didn't help that I could barely keep them open either
Sleep paralysis is the same state you get in as they hypnotize you it's wierd ur brain litteraly hallucinates
I've never had it but I can imagine it would be fucked up the first time it happens.
>>751611207
It's fucking horrible.
Here's my most common one that happens like once a month..
>wake up in the night, feel something in my cabin
>usually sleep on my side/back but can't move at all
>hear sounds like footsteps and breathing, sometimes chanting and voices
>feel this complete sense of extreme panic
>see something moving around the room
>bed starts shaking, feel someone grabbing my feet and pulling one them
>loud screaming, bangs and horrible voices
>window next to bed creaks and dark hands with claws tries to get it
Then I usually snap out of it, absolutely covered in sweat and heart going 5000 beats per second.
Also a less intense but equally terrifying one.
>wake up
>someone is standing at the side of my room
>long hair, female and somehow beautiful even though I can't see her face
>slowly coming closer
>absolute terror all the time, can't explain it
>just wanna get up and run like hell but can't move
>she get's so close I should be able to kiss her, then she just launches at me, face goes from shadows to horrible monster
>then I wake up in panic like the other one
It's slowly driving me nuts.
i had it twice
first time i was laying on my side and saw a giant red man with yellow eyes coming out of the ground in front of my bed and he was resting his arms on the bed, it was so weird because i had my lights on and i could see the details on his body.
second time i woke up half asleep to get my ipod and when i got back in bed i saw an old woman wearing an old robe with feathers on her head flfying around my room ffor like 2 min and i couldnt move.
it kinda fucked me up for like 2 weeks, i had trouble sleeping and i couldnt be in the dark
Sleep paralysis is literally demons entering your body.
The next time you guys feel paralyzed with a horrible presence in the room only one person can help you, it may sound cheesy but for reals. Ask god, the lord Jesus for help and instantly you will feel the presence leave, almost as if its running away itself.
If you are unconvinced of the lord but find yourself experiencing sleep paralysis you have literally nothing to lose by asking for gods help, to prove for once and for all he is real.
>>751611207
You ever tried cyclodol? It's like a pcp trip of your nightmares
>>751611207
Happens to me all the time, stop being such a pussy my dude.
>>751632707
Kek, my religion is thousands of years older than yours. We accept spirits, there is no good or evil.
Sleep paralysis is omens and nothing else, natures way of warning you something is wrong by sending earth spirits.
This is why we give offerings to Diermes, he keeps us safe at night. And it works.
>t. Sápmi
>>751611207
Know what's less fun? Actually being paralyzed. Fucking faggot
>>751632865
I don't have to give offerings to my lord to earn his favor.
I am loved, you are also loved but because of your paganism you will not gain his favor/protection/blessings.
God loves all of his children, but he favors those who worship him more.
Do you get sleep paralysis when sleeping on your sides?
Curious because I don't think I've ever slept properly on my back, only in the safety position, and I've yet to experience anything similar to the thing described in this thread.
>>751632707
>. Ask god, the lord Jesus for help
Doesn't help one bit.
Been raised a catholic my entire life and all that comes with it. Still have night terrors every night no matter how much I ask god for help...
My mom even had our priest bless me and cleanse me as a kid, he even made sure my room wasn't tainted. Still night terrors.
>>751633115
Yes I do all the time, especially on my right side.
Had them while sleeping on my stomach as well.
>>751632082
thats hot
>>751633124
>no faith
happened multiple times, some trippy shit man
>>751611207
Try waking up not being able to breath because theirs vomit in your lungs. That's much much much worse.
>>751633218
>>no faith
And that's bullshit. I was a devote, strong believer up until my 24th birthday. Did me no good at all.
No faith you say, I GREW UP in a home based around faith, I knew nothing else but faith.
>>751633124
The problem is you're Catholic.
The main difference between Christians and Catholics, is that Christians ask god directly for help. Catholics believe a man is able to connect to god for you, which you stated that priest is able to "bless you". A priest has no power to bless but god himself. Convert to Christianity, the thin veil that separates Christianity from Catholicism is who you put your faith in.
Do you believe a person who you have to confess to in a church has the power to forgive? God knows all your sins you do not need a middle man. Its the devils way of blurring the truth!
>>751633315
>your version of this religion with many versions os the wrong one
And this here people is why Christianity is complete horseshit.
>>751633315
Jesus would beat the shit out of you just so you know. He would be ashamed having people like you using his name for your own pathetic rants.
I've experienced this twice, both times after beginning Strattera/atomoxetine medication.
It's not even close to the terror of a proper bad trip on a high dose of psychedelics.
>>751633313
>weak faith
Strengthen your relationship with the lord. Fag
I had read so much about sleep paralysis so when it happened to me I knew exactly what it was meaning I managed to keep relatively calm... Still don't want it to happen again though
I get this shit sleeping on my desk at work. It last like a minute. It's really scary. I've only had it happen to me 3 times when I normally sleep on a bed. I heard it happens to everyone at least once.
Can we please keep religion (all religion) out of this thread.
Otherwise I'm gonna flood this thread with the holy spaghetti monster.
>>751611207
Just smoke weeed everyday and you dnt have to worry about dreams at all. Real talk
>>751633306
Try not waking up at all that's even more worse
>>751633533
Seriously, I was given cyclodol at a hospital once, try looking at foying babies in your pitch black room screaming in demonic tongues while there's spiders crawling out of your ears and mouth and you can't do shit because you got injected with IV diazepam 5 times
>>751633432
Everyone needs to question their upbringing, i myself grew up Catholic, but it never felt right having to confess to some random old geezer in a dark room.
Catholics recognize pope francis as man who has a divine relationship with god, but recently he's been endorsing sinful shit like homosexuality and even saying things like having a personal relationship with god is a bad thing. You must look at the community you're following and ask yourself if this is the right way or not.
>>751634034
I don't care much about the catholic way, didn't back then either. God and Jesus was the important thing.
>>751633504
He would be proud that I atleast tried to help people by telling them of a solution to end their pain using his name.
>>751611207
I've had worse

This was your consciousness trying to escape. You constantly repeat in your own head God is a lie science prevails but you doubt yourself deep within. You know there is a god and you know he will judge you.
Remember Anon. Once you know you've sinned, you can't just repent whenever you want. You need to get it done. Times ticking.
>>751634592
Not him but I've had hallucinations that made me seriously doubt my atheist beliefs while I was on drugs.
Eventually I came to the conclusion that it was just my brain malfunctioning because the stuff I saw, while very convincing and "real" was inconsistent and irrational when examined critically.
>>751612730
had the same then they found out it had to do something with the nasal system... curved nose septum upper part that blocked the air flow at night... resulted in extremely bad sleep and multiple health problems ... never though about it as a possibility total normal linear nose form outside... after operation = new life...

Have you ever done DMT? I've been told by severely reputable medical professors and local phd in various sciences that DMT is exactly what you describes but when examined critical, it can be said that the "sober" state is in fact a false state while DMT exposed state is the actuality. The reality.
>>751634592
>>751634956
I'm the poster you replied to earlier. Funny you say that because the first time I did DMT I went to hell and saw a red dragon. And one time on a lot of mushrooms I fell through this tunnel and was gnawed on by a wall of flesh at the bottom.
>>751634956
Never done DMT but you can find my weed + DXM + nitrous oxide trip report here >>751634541
I also had an experience on weed alone one time where I went into a state of immense frustration and anxiety to the point where I thought I was in Hell, I felt compelled to pray to God and beg for forgiveness and when I did I went into a state of intense euphoria
>>751634956
Looking at kaleidoscopic colours while you're passed out nodding and drooling on yourself is reality?
I have a genetic sleeping condition that makes me more prone to have sleep paralysis. I've had it 49 times now. I don't like sleeping anymore kek
>>751612730
I don't always realize that's what's happening. Last time was a few days ago and I thought there was a burglar in my house, walking around and whispering to someone on his cell phone. I saw him peek through the crack in my door. At first I thought I was laying still out of fear, hoping he wouldn't notice I was awake, but after he turned away I tried to get up and grab my gun and couldn't move. I broke it soon after.
Happened me so many times during a stressful time of my life that I grew used to it
Now I'm not so stressed, but once in a blue moon I get a mild sleep paralysis, I'm just like "lol that again" wait 5 seconds and I'm back, shake the unnatural feeling of fear away and go back to sleep
>>751629089
1. Most people only research about sleep paralysis after a few times they had it. So first time they don't know what it is.
The fact it often comes with demon-like experiences doesn't help. Like, the feeling or a dark presence in the vicinity. Demons whispering shit on your ear in unknown language. Feeling of levitation. Etc.
2. Even if you know, you're half asleep the whole time. Do you always know you're dreaming when you're dreaming? Your mind isn't questioning everything at the same rate as when you're lucid.
3. The feeling of fear is not because of anything rational, it's a hormonal thing. Like being injected terror right into your blood stream. You can try to ignore it, but it's there.
4. Once you had it dozens of time, of course you don't give a shit. Nothing particularly brave about getting used to an overall harmless condition.
>>751635154
Sometimes what it happens to me is that I actually think I can move, but with difficulty.
So I move around my house, corners are pitch black, everything so dark. I know something is not right, but I can't figure out what. I'm scared shitless for no reason.
Then I realize I'm not standing at all. I open my eyes, I'm back on my bed.
Or am I?
>>751635861
BWHUUUUUUM
>>751611207
It's not that bad, scary as fuck, as a horror movie and literature fan I've imagined the worst happening during those. It's scary as fuck but it ends eventually.
>>751611207
Did you notice that your room never looks the same twice?
>>751632313
Wow, this gif gets to the point. When I have sleep Paralysis, I'll be staring at a shadow on a wall and that shadow will become a witch or some other monstrous terrifying black entity. This sent chills down my spine.
>>751612939
Edgy
You are now cured
>>751611207
Practicing Buddhism for 8years has made me aware that maybe you were murdered or you died somehow like that in a past life(s) op, and this is just a look back to how you died?
Try to change your karma and see if the dreams go away.
>quit being a asshole
>try to be less of an asshole
Usually I end up floating out my body and having a wee little wonder around before I get sucked back
>>751611207
I have gotten sleep paralysis alot sometimes it feels pretty intense like i am tilting or lifting in my body. Or something is in the room with me. That i have gotten use too. The absolute worse thing is when you get it and are face down in your pillow. Feels like you are going to suffocate and nothing you can do. Seems to last an eternity too
Just say, "The power of Christ compels you" and you snap right out of it. Talk shit, but I have done it three times and each time I wake up and have to remind myself to never forget it
>>751611207
only once thanks to some of the most fucked up "herbal" cold medication combo i was ever prescribed . basically paralized for what felt like a couple of hours could only stare at the ceiling while i was in a wierd half dream state with vivid halucinations .
worst trip ever...
sufficient to say i never took those meds again or asked my doc for cold meds ...
>>751611207
Holy shit... how did you do that?
It sounds fun
>>751611207
Did you hear anything?
Could you still feel your body?
Did you sense light?
It happened literally 1h ago and it keeps happening every Tuesday at the same hour.
First
>wake up
>can't move and can't see for shit (sleeping mask)
>can feel someone touching my lips like she kissed me (could hear her voice)
>I live alone
Second
>wake up
>I hear kids screaming like someone is fucking cutting them into puzzle pieces
>Tried to scream and run
>nope.png
Third (note, my grand dad died some years ago from heart attack when he fell face down on a village road and couldn't move)
>dream like I walk home
>body collapses down
>can't move and remember what happened to my grand dad
>ohfucki'mgoingtodie.flac
>paniclikeamotherfucker.gif
So yeah, definitely waiting to see what I'm going to dream next week
just don't sleep on your back. i tend to get sp anytime i sleep on my back.
i'd really hate being strapped down in an asylum somewhere. sp city. i think i'd rather be dead at that point.
>>751639689
Pretty mich this. Sleeping on my back with my arms above my head is sleep paralysis city. Especially if you are kind of daydreaming.
>>751611207
It really does suck. I would only ever really get it during naps, not full fledged sleep. It became much less terrifying when I understood what it actually was.
>>751639689
Bullshit, I always sleep on my stomach and I get them.
>>751639782
i never even had it happen until after i cold-turkeyed adderal and a couple anti-psychotics all at the same time. the withdrawals were pure nightmare; shadow people were coming out of every shadow and rushing into my face(like they were disappearing into me) while i was awake. then i laid down to try and get some sleep, and had a repeating sp where i was being beaten to death by some pipe/nightstick/etc. i ended up using all the willpower i had to struggle up out of that. that was the first time i ever had an sp.
now, i never sleep on my back unless i'm exhausted and pass out without turning on my side or stomach.
>>751639891
ummm...good for you? :\
I had it a few times a month when I lived at my old place, and it would only be when I slept in the basement.
>>751611207
pff I had cancer on my ballsack. the therapy made me have intense pain on both my legs. so much that I wanted em amputeed, beat up my dad because he tought it was nothing and generally walked only on my arms for the first 30 minutes of waking up. plus I didn't feel hunger for any kind of food with much consistency for days after the injection.
I would rather kys then get through this therapy again
>>751640093
>shadow people were coming out of every shadow
Whoa...
Shadow people coming out of shadows? Who would have thought that could happen?
>>751640724
fuck off, you retarded troll. i hope you get sp every single time you close your eyes to sleep, for the rest of your life. fucking douchebag.
>>751611207
THIS is what sleep paralysis is? Really? You're a fucking pussy I've been getting this every so often my entire life.
>>751611207
To be honest I felt like I was dying, and I, with my closed eyes thought to myself ''I welcome death'' After 3 minutes I opened my eyes to realize I could now scream and move my muscle. Biggest disappointment of my ENTIRE life. :(
>>751639683
i wonder if you try? >>751638696
the first time i heard voices in my head was in a sleep paralyses. i heard people laugh at me. fucking freaky shit
>>751611207
It happened to me once which I could remember.
I "woke up" and it was a bright and beautiful morning. My eyes opened and I was on my side. My breathing felt heavy, and I was worried that my spine wasn't working anymore or something.
However, I slowly closed my eyes and kept my labored breathing until I fell back asleep again. When I re-woke, I could move again.
Sleep paralysis is kinda common. Although, not being able to control your own body is fucking terrifying.
I once had a wet dream, does that count?
>>751642421
its almost like that dream you had where you done fucked up on the wrong thread anon
I experienced something like sleep paralysis, though i was able to move a bit, first one was purely visional, i saw something like a wing of some archangel in the window.
Two other were connected with the last words of whoever said them inside my dream, they repeated, becoming more and more distorted earrape, on second time wli experienced something like hypersonic effect(with pressure on my face0 with blurred edges in my vision and i saw some scary images.
Then on third time there was hypersonic again,but no visions.
>>751611207
I managed to wake up by screaming after 3-4 minutes
>>751611207
If you fight it then you will hallucinate. You should give in and you will (maybe) induce a lucid dream
Thanks
When I sleep peop
Not again
After you have it a few time it just become annoying
Wake up in the middle of the night can't move struggle to regain control over you body feel like you going to die from not being able to breathe
do it once scary but after that it just routine
>>751611207
Experienced it numerous times. Shit is annoying
>>751611207
Eh mine isn't that bad. I've had pure feelings of terror for absolutely no reason while in between sleep. That was horrifying, but the terror wasn't focused on anything. It was just terror without a reason. That's the worst in my opinion. Never been so scared in my life.
>>751611207
I had my eyes open. I hallucinated and thought there was some dark figure in the corner of my eye, but i couldnt move my head to look. There was also a loud noise, kind of a bunch of horses galloping, and then it got louder and louder and louder. But yeah, it's quite terrifying when you dont get what's happening
