Have you ever experience Sleep Paralysis?

I have experienced sleep paralysis multiple times but I try not to make it seem it's exactly what I have because I haven't gotten a diagnosis but I have the symptoms. Anyways, this afternoon I was feeling fatigue and sleepy so I took a short nap but during the nap I felt as if I was being pinned down now usually I would try to wiggle my big toe (it wakes me up) and splash some cold water to wake myself up a little but I was so darn tired and my lazy butt when back to sleep and in the middle of it I felt the covers on my bed being pulled back and scared me a little. I never saw monsters or demons like some people say from their experience.

I had the same dream I think twice or three times. I was in some kind of outdoosy area and I was walking into the woods.

    I have.  I have not recently but when I was younger I would go through waking up and not really being awake and finding myself aware but paralyzed, yes.

  • This has been happening me for years I'm not sure when it started for me but it might have been when I was around my mid to late teens and as much as I like napping sometimes this makes me scared to sleep

  • only when I sleep on my back. That’s why I don’t sleep on my back. It used to scare me but now I can recognize when it’s happening and stay calm. I have auditory hallucinations but not visual because I usually am unable to open my eyes.

  • I was sleeping on my back today and I think I read about another position that triggers it.

    I have experienced them too.  I swear I will hear someone talking to me or someone in the next room.  It's only as I am waking.  Strange thing.

    I don't know if I've actually had sleep paralysis or if those were just dreams where I did have sleep paralysis. Those dreams are so realistic I can't tell if it was just a nightmare or if my brain really did have a huge freakout. I never see anything scary, I hear loud sounds and feel an overwhelming fear.

    Yes! I used to have this happen to me when I was younger.  Scary as all heck.  You are aware you are coming out of a sleep, but have no ability to even open an eyelid.  It can be a terrifying few moments.

  • Yes, I experience from time to time, usually if I'm sleeping on my back. It's unpleasant, but I don't think it bothers me as much as it does other people.
