.......hey all, I think a thread on this was posted some time ago but I had to start another because I just had first hand experience with it.
I believe it is called Sleep paralysis, and 2 nights ago, I woke up feeling half awake but half asleep if that even makes any sense. Anyways, I tried to move and felt like an invisible force just nullified all attempts to move or even speak because I tried to call for someone as I noticed my door was wide open.
I also remember reading up on this about how it's a demon sitting on your chest? I then remember conciously that I was going through this and told myself to remain calm, then I felt like I was falling outta my bed as if i was gliding off my bed. That subsided then I remember hearing someone scream twice, it sounded like a woman's voice. I got pretty freaked out at this point then it stopped and I was like, "wtf"?
ANyone have any similar experiences or comments?

I've had it a couple of times. It is pretty scary to not be able to move. I cant scream but I still try to everytime. It's cool afterwards but it dont happend so often so I have yet to test that I know what is happening ect.
My mom has it too.

i keep hearing about it and i finally felt it couple days ago at school
i was sleeping on my desk and i "woke up" but i could move any part of my body. you know how your arm/leg goes numb so bad your brain is telling to move it, but it wont move. I had that on my whole body. i tried then opening my eyes atlest but it wont. in my mind it was using my full force muscle to move any part of my body but it wouldnt move. then i kind of snap out of it, (felt like waking from a dream)

Yea happened to me once. I saw a nightmare, woke up, tried to move but I couldn't :/ It sucked, I was scared :D

The demons on your chest coems from the fact that if you try to control your breathing during this paralysis, you might feel a large pressure onto your chess.
Sleep paralysis is essential or else you'll act out your dreams.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_paralysis:
Many people who claim to induce out-of-body experiences say that sleep paralysis is a golden opportunity to leave the physical body.
i would pay to have an obe (out of boy experience)  , i tried so often but nothing T_T

I just remembered when I made a topic about Astral Projection and everyone laughed and were talking about DBZ, when in fact it's just as real as sleep paralysis.

This one time I was sleeping on the couch because I'm cool like that. When I woke up I realized I had been sleeping on my arm all night and it was just hanging off its joint, I couldn't move the arm at all, not my fingers or anything. There was this really weird painful feeling as the blood was rushing to the arm too. It's a good thing.

Not funny, especialy when u try to concentrate on moving while u can do nothing, no sense of touch, worst when u see everything around.

... yeah, except that sleep paralysis is real and astral projection isn't.
Oh yeah HAHAHAHAAHHAHAHA

Yeah, I experienced sleep paralysis like three-four nights in a row, the week I had a MAJOR project due. Temporary paralysis, feels as if somethings sitting on your chest, shadows are playing games with your vision, youre hearing indistinct voices in the quiet night. Its a very surreal experience.

It has nothing to do with demons on your chest  . In your case, I guess you happened to regain (some) consciousness during REM sleep, but your body hadn't de-paralysed you yet  .
coool shit :D

hpw about going to sleep on your arm only to wake up because you roll over and that arm slaps you in the face, because of it falling asleep from lack of blood floww it feels like some one else has thrown there arm across you but its just yours ,asleep it can be very scary for a bit there .

I think I managed to fight this thing - I get this kind of dreams where I *know* that something strange or scary will happen, so I force myself to wake up. Anyway, just before I wake up I feel paralized and very frightened. I don't like this feeling so I'm trying to avoid it.
I think it has tome connection with lucid dreaming - because I know that I'm dreaming. But I cannot get rid of this fear, so it's useless in holy quest to dream about f*** that girl I saw yesterday. Bad luck.
