On a related note (from a link in that article), I also have lucid dreams every night, and I'd say at least a third if not half of my dreams are lucid. Sometimes it is just a conscious awareness that I am dreaming, leading me to do whatever I want knowing there are no consequences, and sometimes I have enough control to make people or objects appear or disappear, change my location, fly, etc., as I desire. Maybe that's why I like sleeping much more than most people. | ||

on a related note to dreams, i have a funny story. i live in my basement (its refirbished, has entrance to steps upstairs and a storm door outside). i went to bed and aparently my brother left the storm door open. i had a dream that i was in the woods somewhere doing something and woke up after dreaming that there were bugs or sometihng crawling all over me, on my chest, on my face. i woke up all creeped out because it defintely felt like something was on me. i turned on my side n faced my couch then all the sudden i thought i saw something move. the moonlight kinda lit my room a bit and i saw it again. a motherfucking black cat was crawling along my couch and freaked me the fuck out. the thing turned around and hissed n i took the nearest object i could find (alarm clock) and threw it at it. the thing ran out. needless to say, i didnt sleep much the rest of the night (and for a good few days after -_-) | ||

When you suffer from sleep paralysis, are you entirely aware that you're suffering from it, or is it something you don't realize until after it has finished? Edit: I guess Joker and the Thief's reply answered that. | ||

I've also been know to lucid dream on occasion and sometimes I can even wake myself up from a dream. My logic kicks in and shit doesn't make sense so much that my brain just goes wtf thats impossible and I force myself to wake up. Its crazy. PS - I agree sleep paralysis is probably what 90% of ghost/alien sitings are from. My old friend (RIP) used to get night terrors where he would be asleep and acting out his dreams with his eyes open sort of glazed over. One night he was like "red team go" into the couch cushion like it was a radio then he jumped up and ran into the kitchen sorta fell onto the sink pushed off and ran over slid under the table and muttered some shit into the chair leg like it was a walkie talkie and stayed there hiding. Then we tried to coax him back to bed because its bad to wake people up when they are having night terrors. we woke him up like 20 minutes later when he was laying down again and he didn't remember any of it. | ||

Was the first time I had heard about it. | ||

Last night I think I might have experienced this. As I fell asleep I began to have strange a strange sensation as though I was slipping into a malevolent dream, but I was still aware of my body lying on my stomach on the bed. I tried to shake it off (mentally) to stop thinking about bad things and even tried to rationalize, "I shouldn't have eaten so late before bed," and eventually I fell asleep. I don't know how long I was asleep, or if I was even asleep, but I kept seeing/feeling this dark presence hovering above and behind me alongside my bed. I tried to wake up (but I don't think I was asleep, more like staring into the dark) and I couldn't move. I kept feeling the presence coming closer and then I felt it press onto my back so I couldn't even get up. Finally I mustered the willpower & courage to raise myself up and frantically started breathing. The weirdest thing was when I raised myself up I had to contort my right arm around. It had been twisted behind my back like someone was holding me in the chicken wing or something, you know when you restrain someone. Fucking weird. | ||

Like 5 days ago i was with my girlfriend in a hotel, and i dreamed that we were on the same bed, she was getting herself over me and telling me she is gonna get sleep paralysis..., like if she was having the nightmare and telling me to help her because she couldn't move. And then in my dream her face would change into a scary old man, telling me that i will suffer paralysis and won't be able to move. After that i woke up having the paralysis, and I was also 100% sure my girlfriend was having one too (she wasn't having one tho) , and i felt this horribly dark presence all over the room even after after i woke up (I wasn't certain if i was really awake, i was just waiting for the usual "re-awakeness"). She was trying to calm me down but i just wanted to get the fuck out, and after waking up i kinda kept having my auditive and visual senses very very sharpened and hearing or seeing stuff (mostly hearing). Anyway just felt an evil presence and could swear someone died there or whatever. Pretty weird. | ||

I dont have the auditory problems you mentioned though. Basically I am awake but very sleepy, and try as I might I cant move an inch. This one time I was lying on my stomach and scared shitless. It doesnt last long though. My estimate is 1-2 minutes, but it feels like a lifetime. | ||

If I were you I would just wait it out every time it happens. The duration of it is normally only 1-2 mins and since you can move your eyes still its not that boring to be sitting there motionless for that period. If you start to see freaky shit and hear strange stuff just pay attention to it and keep in mind that its pretty cool your brain is able to generate those images/sounds even though its not real. | ||

Just go back to sleep, it'll be fine~_~ actually, i think it's called 가위 (Ga Wi). i think the saying is "가위 눌렸어" (pressed by ga wi). the common meaning of the word is "scissors," but i think it's also the name some evil spirit. | ||
