Otto Dem Wanz Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Similar to Sphnix, when I'm falling asleep having overdone it with the Mandy or weed I've been known to jolt upright anxiously after getting a weird feeling in the chest and stomach area. It strikes randomly but it tends to correlate with drugs or junk food overindulgence - horrible feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briefcase Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I've only had the sleep paralysis once and it terrified me. I didn't see anything supernatural or freaky, I just woke up but couldn't move my body and heard a ringing noise in my ears, I honestly thought I was dying or something as I just couldn't move at all, I think everyone experiences this at least a few times in there lifetime but trust me when it happens it will shit you up and you won't ever forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bettencourt Posted January 17, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 17, 2016 Anyone heard those stories of some sleep paralysis sufferers, that they see fucking demons looking over them as they cant move? Never happened to me, but I swear poo would drip out of my underpants if that ever happened. Â This top 5 is freaky. Â Definitely. For a morning after my first bout of it, I was convinced that ghosts actually existed. Then I looked it up and found it was the hallucinations from sleep paralysis.

Keith Houchen Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Yeah, I've had the "Old Hag" sleep paralysis. It really isn't nice, think I was crying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sphinx Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Definitely. For a morning after my first bout of it, I was convinced that ghosts actually existed. Then I looked it up and found it was the hallucinations from sleep paralysis. Â Sorry to clog this thread up, but this has reminded me of when I woke up and was hallucinating that my brother's mate was at the end of the top of my bunk bed watching me. It didn't look like anyone I knew but my sleepy self assumed it must be my brother's mate and then I went to lay down again. Then the logic kicked in and I started wondering what the fuck was going on. I raised my head looked at him again for a bit then when I logically realised he couldn't possibly be stood in that position as it was too cramped, he dissolved.

Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted January 18, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 18, 2016 As if going to bed on a Sunday night wasn't already completely distressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenryck Pilchards Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I suffer from sleep paralysis quite regularly and it is fucking awful. On some occasions it feels like I am levitating and suddenly crash back to bed. The worst though is when you are mentally awake but can't move your limbs and can't speak. My longest paralysis must have lasted five minutes and I was in hysterics when I was able to move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 One of my fears is that hospital fuck-up where they give you enough muscle relaxants so you can't move, but they don't KO you so you can still feel all the cuts. I'd love the compo though. Â I've not had sleep paralysis as far as I can remember, but I do wake up screaming with leg cramps now and again. And the sleep apnea could kill me any night.

Sphinx Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I wake up with leg and toe cramps and seem to instinctively 'sell' it in a split second by raising my body on my front as though I'm Austin in the Sharpshooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My longest paralysis must have lasted five minutes and I was in hysterics when I was able to move.  I forgot to mention that I was trying to shout/talk/cry for help in panic but nothing was happening. Terrifying on so many levels. I think its linked to stress/lack of sleep and several other things which I was going through at the time, I never heard of sleep paralysis until it happened either but would like to think I would be calmer if it happened again (alright, maybe not). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Justice Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I'm not exactly sure what you would class this as, but not long after I started my anti depressents/anxiety meds I was in bed asleep and I was then very aware that I was dreaming. I was at a point where I felt completely weightless and I felt like I was tumbling over but in extremely slow motion. I knew I was asleep and I knew I was dreaming, but I didn't want to wake up. When I did I was half hanging out of bed, head first and the opposite side to where I sleep. Â I've not had anything like it since. Weirdest sensation I've ever had.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted January 18, 2016 Moderators Share Posted January 18, 2016 Lucid dreaming, that is, Steve. A lot of people practice that intentionally, and the more you do it the more control you can actually have within the dream of what you do and where you go.

Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted January 18, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 18, 2016 I posted about this on here before years and years ago. I have "suffered" with sleep paralysis since I was a kid. I get it about two or three times a night on a good night - dead up - every night and it doesn't get any less frightening. Sometimes, there are ways to hit lucid dreaming through it. If I wind up calming my pots and accepting what's going on is in my head then I can go into a deep dream and dream about what I want to dream about...which is bizarre, but that only happens about 5% of the time. There was once, where I swear to good Lord, I could clearly hear this ominous hick music on a scratched record looping the same line and tune over and over again accompanied by screaming and growling, as I was lying there trying to move and scream and feeling cunts grabbing my chest and I thought I was genuinely in heck. I really, truly did. That one haunted me for days, and I can still remember the line "Jesse don't talk no more, he's just nothing now...". The earliest I remember was when I was about 5 (I know this because I was living in Artane in Dublin at the time, and we moved out of there when I was about 6 or 7) and I had a dream that me and E.T locked the devil in my shed. I woke up and was frozen stiff and heard my door open, footsteps and something thrashing at my back and growling and speaking in fucking tongues. I was 5, and not being a lunatic, but that's why I believe in something else because there's no way a five year old who had only been exposed to fucking Muppet Babies, Care Bears and ET could conjure up something like that from his imagination. Â Sorry for the ramble, but ol' Branquey here gets you beautiful fucks who suffer from it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted January 18, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 18, 2016 Really glad other people get that weird jumping thing when falling asleep. The other thing I get is when I'll occassionally answer my missus out loud only to ralise she's fast asleep next to me. It's like I've woken from a dream but not quite realised it.
