that sounds trippy

i wanna that to happen to me

 

happens to me a lot, its suck but i wonder what happens if you just fall back asleep instead of waking yourself up. do you die? lol

 

had it happen to me on a few separate occasions.

at first i was like, "WTF is going on!" as I'd see dark images around me, or hear things that weren't really there.

finally decided to look it up and was put at A LOT more ease when I actually found out about it. It's weird cuz now that I know about it, I kinda look forward to it happening when I take random naps.

I always try to 'break free' whenever I realize i'm undergoing sleep paralysis. but can never do it LOL

fyi, there are some crazy vids of ppl on youtube who are under sleep paralysis

 

It's hard to explain...but you can definitely get your self to break out of it rather quickly when it onsets if it happens a lot. It's not really something you can show someone as you need to be asleep and then actually have it happen. Just will yourself to move and wake up...that's basically it. Do the William Wallace FREEEEEEDDDDDOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!

 

Guess we get to know what it's like to be paralyzed though...

 

/Unavailable for comment...

 

That's weird that a lot of you had hallucinations with it. I didn't have that. Mine was like I could open my eyes, but I couldn't move any other muscles. If I tried to move, nothing happened and it just freaked me out more. Like I said, the second time it happened, I decided to just ride it out and it was much less disturbing (and it was over much more quickly). I think if you just realize what's happening and realize that it's normal (while it's happening), then your brain won't be overcome with other emotions (fear/strees/whatever), and it will allow you to 'recover' faster.

 

Thats what I did. I just realized it would be over soon. It still was really crappy but I didn't think I was dying as much this time. Was kinda just trapped there as I looked around the room and continued to try and move my limbs. Got very slight movement till it was done. The whole hard to breath thing is by far the worst part for me. Really sucks not being able to breath well while it's going on. Plus my heart beat feels super slow like it is stopping which is not the best feeling either.

 

I had something similar happen to me as a kid. nothing these days.

 

ok so everybody cant move...so why the f$%$ does my spine hurt when this happens to me????
