Sleep Paralysis

This is my case of Sleep Paralysis ( A sleep disorder where you are aware of what is going on in your surroundings but you can't move or do anything about it.) I wanted to record this and show it to any people who may have the same condition but arent aware of it. It's also intended for people who know they have it and get scared of it and would like to comment, ask questions, or anything else about it. What happens is i'm alseep but i know what is happening in the room and if you notice my hand is moving and my shoulders begin to move also.

I didn't know what it is for like 14 years, I got it first when I was 15 years old, scared to death. By strong will I trained to get my fingers moving gently, tipping my partner's arm. First with my ex-partner for seven years, now with my new partner, actually soon-to-be-husband for the past six years and then they would shake me and wake me up. I was so damn scared to death, sometimes with hallucinations.

@Vogelfreundin thanks for sharing your expierence :) and i would hate it if someone shaked me awake ahhaha.... and what if forgot to mention was that i hallucinate sounds...somtimes songs or peoples voices.

Some years ago I experienced this once or twice. But for the last couple of days it's been happening EVERY TIME I go to sleep & it's horrible, it feels like you're going to die! I try to remain calm, but it's hard. You try to call out for help, but I can't even tell if my vocals work or not. And sometimes, I see myself 'moving' but then the same movement repeats, like a recording...if that makes sense. I'll come out of it, but suddenly fall back to sleep without control!

To get myself out of this state I just increase my breathing and try keep calm, normally wakes me up, sometimes I fall back to sleep! (:

Hey. I'm have these every now and then. I usually have them at the beginning of the sleep (unlike in your case) and when I haven't had plenty of sleep in the last days. Since I always sleep in pitch black I've never had visual hallucinations, but I hallucinate strange sounds, like voices, laughs, white noise, whispers, etc... and tactile hallucinations like someone trying to scratch me or tickle me. And of course the feeling of being unable to breathe enough. Not a very pleasant experience...

I also have these experiences. I believe every one of them holds a message and i f we look at the circumstances of each one then we can determine the message. However, that's not why I commented. I was wondering, did you purposefully make this video 3:33 minutes long. 3:33am is the time that I usually wake up to sleep paralysis, and I also hear it is the same time for other people's experiences. Sweet dreams :)

@adsmith422 It happened around the same age for me. 4 years now. and as much as I think my eyes are wide open and i see everything that is going on.. im never too sure.

[martygirl007]

I have the same issues. I have calmed myself to know when it is happening and not be scared. I have taught myself to do little tricks, especially with a partner in bed. I can easily increase my breathing and he usually knows its a "dream". and digging my hand into their back helps. Even if they think it is a dream.. they will wake me. But most of all.. it helps to not be scared about it. I have had it happen for over 3 years , tough now to be overly scared about it. I know what you feel though.

@Vogelfreundin Yeah, I had reoccuring dreams of a murderer the past couple of years. and everytime I go through sleep paralysis he shows up. I've trained myself to move my arm and punch myself right in the hip. It works every time.

First time I got it, I was 14 & I remember waking up but couldn't move & I was thinking a demon came through my window & I could hear voices......I was sooo scared I don't sleep that night . I'm used to it now an know what it is so I'm not so scared of it

this stuff is real and scary! how can ppl see and feel the same evil presence etc when they never met e/o? I never even heard of SP and i only found it cuz i searched my symptoms! this THING that attacks me has been slamming doors, banging on my walls, turning my tv on and off etc. I was praying the other nite,WIDE AWAKE AND I FELT IT COMING! i started using someof the advice from the site i went on and renouncing it, it helped a little but i cannot take much more! this shit is REAL not a disord

[68kackie]

this is NOT at all what happens to ME!!! I am fully awake with my eyes open the whole time and look around and have actually timed my "attacks" and one lasted up to ten mnutes! It started out with just the not being able to move, yell for help, etc. but it got worse! now I feel and hear strong vibrations and start to levetate!!! wtf!!!! I am NO way doing this and the more I pray, the stronger the attack gets! I have read others and no way can u explain how ppl can see/hear the SAME worldwide!
