Ask a man who has had sleep paralysis since he was around 5 anything.
I'm at work so my responses may be short and spread out.
>>768916397
No.
How did you go about telling your parents that you’re a homosexual?
Can you take naps?
>>768916443
If you are having trouble opening up your sexuality with your parents, maybe you can have a third party mediator come in to help ease tensions and explain to them what you are going through.
How do you manage to swallow buckets upon buckets of cum in such fast succession
>>768916533
I work nights so I don't ever get chances to nap, also, naps never led to issues with SP because I could never get into a deep sleep.
>>768916504
You gonna keep an eye on me while I sleep? The GF already knows what to do if she thinks I'm going into SP
>>768916580
You may need to try taking advice from someone who does competitive eating.
>>768916676
No thanks.
>>768916719
Not interested. But I'm sure you will find someone to fulfill your fetish.

This is pretty common for any and all of my experiences. Some last a minute or so, but alot of them feel like hours go by, best think is to have someone wake you up or try to jerk yourself awake.

Have struggled with sleep paralysis my whole life. I believe it ties into my past lives and my anger and sadness that I hold onto in my current life.
I can remember vividly the most horrifying episode I've ever had. I was in my bed. The sunlight was just starting to come through the blinds of my window. I look over to my right and my mother is sitting on the edge of my bed. Just staring at me with this horrifying jack nicholson joker smile on her face. She just sat there and smiled at me. I felt the weight of her sitting on the edge of my bed. I kept mumbling "help me. Please help me" but she just sat there bearing her teeth in a fucked up grin.
I felt the closest I've ever felt to hell that morning. When I woke up, I realized it was all hallucination and my bedroom door was still locked and closed the way I'd left it the night before.
Almost a year and a half later, I've stopped having sleep paralysis, but started experiencing a different phenomenon. When I'm sleeping, I'll sometimes wake up with my eyes closed. I know for a fact that my eyes are firmly shut, but I can still see EVERYTHING in vivid detail. Think Neo in matrix III where he loses his sight, but everything appears in codevision. It's like that but with varying shades of dark purple and black. Sometimes I can see apparitions within the darkness, but they don't appear menacing like they used to. I know that the beings I see are dead/not of our plane of existence, but I no longer feel the fear that I used to feel when having sleep paralysis episodes. I merely see them with my eyes closed and they see me.
Anyone experience anything similar?
>>768917502
I have had experiences with some kind of 'thing' in my room, it typically manifests in the upper intersecting corner of my walls and ceiling and the darkness so to speak works its way down like a fluid or smoke.
I have even been able to tell the GF when she got in or out of bed and threw me into a worse panic.
>>768917755
Yes. I know about the black "cloud" that sifts through the corner of your ceiling. It always starts to work it's way down the wall and towards the foot of your bed.
I cannot tell if this being is ill-intentioned or if it is simply my blackened soul trying to escape me.
have you ever had any experiences like ur OP pic? being strangled or suffocated by something?
>>768917404
How long can it last before you gain control. Does it happen every night.
>>768917897
Oddly enough my sister had started getting seizures randomly out of nowhere, this started about 2 years ago. She went to a neurologist and said she was perfectly fine, still loaded her on anti depressants. Somehow the conversation about my SP came up and get gave me a call, saying it may be a genetic thing causing these two completely different issues between my and my sister.
Both of us had a very shitty start in life, I've pulled through and changed, she's fairly beaten down buy it all after all these years.
I started having sleep paralysis after my first DXM trip. My first one was so jarring and horrifying that I didn't know what was up. Eyes half open and unable to talk, I tried my hardest to move my arms which were as heavy as lead. When I finally woke up, all I wanted to do was go back to sleep. It was that super groggy wakefulness that you feel when you're just conscious enough to take a piss then you fall right back to sleep. I was so terrified that I purposefully freaked out to stay awake.
The most recent time I had sleep paralysis was at my friends moms apartment. I was asleep on the couch and they had just got done at the shooting range and everyone was sitting at the kitchen table cleaning the guns. I could see them cleaning their guns and I realized I couldn't move. I remember reading or hearing that if you just stayed calm, that SP was the quickest way to enter a lucid dream. I just relaxed and felt like I was being dunked under water, lower and lower. At the bottom I was able to stand up and had free use of my arms and legs. I got up off the couch and looked down and saw my body laying asleep on the couch.
I watched my friends mom and her dad clean their guns and listened to their conversation. I didn't even realize I was dreaming or having an OBE until I looked down and saw I was wearing a brown shirt. I knew that wasn't the right color and then just waited it out.
It was cool but I still would have rather just taken a normal nap.
>>768918129
It can last a split second or it can last hours. Imagine you are sitting in a really poofy chair, you try to get out of it without using your arms, you can't get leverage at first but the second or third try you can break out.
Sometimes it will happen every night and take a break for months, sometimes it's spread out over a year.
Last episode was around a month ago.
>>768918007
Nothing has 'manifested' on me so to speak, the picture is to represent the feeling of restraint. It will feel like someone is sitting on your chest, then your brain tries to come up with a conclusion and you hallucinate, and that's what the demon is.
>>768918236
This is a good example of your other SP escape. Fight and burst out, or lower your heart beat and fall back into sleep.
It's NOT easy to lower your heart rate in these conditions and im only guessing but I would say the calm conversation and watching someone do something with maticulation helped calm you.
>>768918183
I can't offer any advice that you'd want to hear.
I'm pretty sure the house I now live in has a ghost/demon inhabiting it. The only solace I can offer is that it's hard to be haunted when you're the ghost that haunts your house. The ghosts seem to stay away from me for the most part anymore.
I'll still see the apparitions in dreams, but the fear isn't quite as much as it used to be with my sleep paralysis episodes.
I'd say that giving in to my hopelessness set me free. The ghosts don't really fuck with you when they think you're one of them.
>>768918281
Do you know if it's caused by stress or diet. Try writing down when it happens and how your week was before it happens. Their must be something that causes it.
>>768918466
>It's NOT easy to lower your heart
That's only ever happened once to me. Every other time I freaked the fuck out and had to break out. I would like to thank my jiujitsu background for that.
>>768917502
>>768916368
Yes I have had Sleep paralysis too. Pretty bad somtimes woke 5 times with the monster in every one. I dreaded going to sleep. The worst was when it raped me and bit me real hard.
One night I though of trying to control it and not fight it. I found out I could, then I started to control these paralysis moments. I levitated over my body and did somersaults looking at my body, some other crazy things. I started looking
forward to them. Then they stopped, I wish I could get them back because it was pretty crazy experiances.
I got over the sleep paralysis in my own way
>>768918517
I've recorded alot of the instances, and there are lots of factors.
Biggest being
>Poor health (smoker, back injury causing weight gain)
>Poor sleep habits (I work nights)
>Stress
Live a healthy life style and sleep with a heavy blanket. Weighted blankets always provide a sense of calm during SP.
>>768918663
>raped me
show tits
>>768916368
Have you ever seen shadow people?
do sleep aids like melatonin or prescription drugs help? or make things worse?
i know melatonin can disrupt REM, which could potentially keep you from getting too 'deep', so to speak.
>>768918663
I may have read a few sleep studies where people induces SP by staying up for extreme amounts of time and having their sleep disturbed by outside sources. They did this for the same reason you want it back, curiosity. Most people are horrified, but it makes sense that it is different for everyone.
>>768918735
Not a person. But a very dense darkness that will sink to the floor, usually starting in a corner of the room in the ceiling.
>>768918759
Doctors typically prescribe antidepressants to help with SP. But there is really nothing that will help.
I've tried melatonin and I can still have episodes.
>>768918668
have your episodes become fewer since realizing the triggers and working to prevent them?
how many episodes would you say you have in a month, on average?
I dont know if mine is SP but i get some weird strong vibration at my head when this thing starts and my dreams become some sort of VR experience and i have a free control of my movements but the place is something else and people are either have a close relationship with me or everyone doesnt know me. Sometimes monsters appear when i try to wake up usually they pull me in and i end up waking up in the dream and it starts all over again till I wake up for real.
>>768919161
I have the vibration too but that just means I;m about to fall asleep. I've never had that buzzing in my head lead to SP.
do you believe SP to be hereditary? anyone in your family susceptible to episodes as well?
>>768918668
Then is there anything you do or can take to prevent it. Have you mentioned this to your doctor. Might find away to cure it.
>>768919152
No it's still random, and maybe 1-2 times a month avg
>>768919161
The vibration you get it my static, everything gets like an old tube that static. Mine is also accompanied by an almost zoomed in vision that I can break away, and the zooming pulsates in and out.
>>768919348
Noone else in my family.
>>768916397
hey goose
>>768919436
Doctors have pondered over it for a long time. I'm not willing to go on antidepressants. So I have to live with it, as they say
I had it a few times when I had really bad anxiety in my late teens - early 20s. absolutely horrific
>>768919670
Anxiety and stress in general seem to be some of the biggest factors. Following that I would say are sleep patterns.
>>768920020
yeah that's what I was told. it happened like once a week for nearly a year. there's a good documentary on Netflix about it called The Nightmare. also doesn't talking about it like this make it worse bro? hope they find a cure or whatever for it
>>768920294
>The Nightmare
Is that the one where the guy talks about a metal claw stabbing his dick over and over?
>>768919324
you might be right that it means your about to sleep but I always get this as a sign Im about to go elsewhere.
>>768920294
I'll have to watch this.
Talking about it hasn't effected me, but i can see why it my bring it up again for people, causing a nightmare and triggering SP
>>768920609
yeah it's a really good doc but is also solid as a horror movie in itself.
>>768920358
I'm not positive but I think so yeah
>>768920609
oh and good luck with this shit broski. I'm lucky and it went away but I do know how terrifying it is.
>>768917502
I've had sleep paralysis twice in my life that I can recall. Maybe the times. Both are scary as fuck, like in the deepest physiological sense. That's the worst kind of fear. Anyways the scarier one was the first one. I was like 17.
>Feel someone on my legs
>Open eyes
>My mom is inches from my face
>She is about to put a we really over my mouth
>"Oh shit mom's lost it and is chloroforming me to murder me."
>I kick up with both legs as hard as I can, which wakes me
>"What in the fuck was that?"
>Heart racing, dropping sweat
While thing lasted a few seconds.
The other one I was in bed in my room which was a shed converted into detatched guest room. Vividly heard two guys breaking in. Knew I had to wake up to fight but couldn't fucking move, eyes open. Absolute panic. That one lasted a bit longer, like a minute. Both times I was lying on my back, that probably had something to do with it. I really hope it never happens again in life, shit is so terrifying. And I, by all accounts, had it easy.
Op here.
Sleep good anons, I gotta clean up and head home from work.
>>768916560
Kek
>>768916368
Pretty much everyone I know has experience sleep paralysis. Why are you special OP?
>>768917404
>Trigger a panic
What the fuck are god damn stupid? If it happens all the time why do you panic?
I've had sleep paralysis many times, as soon as I realized what is was, I stopped panic.
For the record, most of the resources I've looked at show that if you collect yourself for a second, and then try to move with all your might (as if you're trying to overpower someone holding you down) you can break the paralysis. This works for both natural and drug induced sleep paralysis.
>>768917755
>>768917897
the black figure is ubiquitous in sleep paralysis, most people see it at one point in their lives.
>>768922209
Special enough for you to comment.
Welcome.
Also, good morning, you must be getting ready for school
>>768922331
The whole reason sleep paralysis is what is it is, is because you lose control. When your mind breaks out of REM and your body can't move, you get confused and irrational. Just as you are now. If you were so good at controlling your emotions during an SP attack, you should be able to have a civil conversation without starting it with
>Are you fucking stupid.
Thank you for the input and advice anon.
>>768922480
Hi mom
Finals week was last week. I got 3 A's and a B (gosh darn Calc II !!!)
I've had paralysis a few times now, i get that feeling where you are aware you're in a sleep state but you can't do anything to impact it. Do most people end up forcing nightmare circumstances during sleep paralysis? I know that as soon as i realise it's happening i instantly think of the worst possible things that i can imagine. It's almost a sickly neexed urge
4 times per week. 2 years ago was my worst experience. I saw a demon right next to me speaking something (like parsel), then he started to use his claws to enter my chest. Next morning I woke up with scratches on my chest.
>>768922584
I've literally never been panicked after my first couple times paralyzed, even then it was pretty tame (I was young when it started, attributed it to ghosts at first, lol)
I absolutely don't understand the panic. I'm not usually "confused" either. When the hallucinations appear sometimes I get a little scared but I pretty quickly just brush them aside as part of my imagination. Getting angry at the hallucinations or "presence" will probably help. Its a well documented way of compartmentalizing fear and redistributing it.
Then again I've always had no problems controlling myself when on acid, research chemicals, drugged up at doctors offices, or on shrooms, so maybe its a personal trait.
>>768922819
I have had some occurrences where I can control myself emotionally. It's usually when there is background activity or noise, like a TV on
>Or a dvd start menu on loop back in the day
>>768922634
It's not something you can control, your brain goes into a frenzy to figure out why it can't move. All part of the SP package
>>768916368
Do you know has been visited by aliens? Get ready for ur redpill in next Years will be a weak drive trought
Not a sleep paralysis but sometimes my body would "hurt" itself while im sleeping. Once i punched myself so hard in the eye that i woke up from the pain. I also have a birthmark mole around the chest area and one morning it was bleeding because i was scatching it maybe in my sleep (of course without me knowing) And couple of nights ago i woke up with jaw pain until i realized that i was cracking my teeth in my sleep for some time and this caised the jaw muscles to feel exhausted
>>768923118
Noone knows what you are saying bud
>>768923284
Sounds like you are a very restless sleeper. Possibly feeling around in your sleep and reacting to outside sources.
>Mosquito flys by face, you punch face
Not a bad quality, you are alert
