yeah, i've had sleep paralysis quite a number of times now.DRTY wrote:I had sleep paralysis once. It was fucking hellish, you can't put in words how scary it is. For no real reason. Was just trying to go to sleep, and felt a sensation of being lifted from the bed by something, about a foot or two above it and a seriously macabre feeling about my surroundings like there was some horrid evil force controlling me it was so fucked up. Was too petrified to try and sleep again too.
Apparently it happens when the bits of your brain that control movement go to sleep before the bits that control though do. Something along those lines anyway.
I only have sleep paralysis if i sleep on my back. And like you've said, it happens after an hour of light sleeping or during that falling asleep stage. There's also this deep sound during mine, like a subwoofer stuck at 50hz, combined with light chatter, a mixture of conversations in the background. Then eventually it'll quite down but i'll still be stuck there looking at ceiling...this is when the weird shit starts to happen.
Last month while i was laying there in this state, i felt something slowly pulling at my leg. I didn't physically feel hands around my leg or anything gripping it, but my leg was just being pulled by some force. When it stopped i fell back asleep and when i woke up my leg was hanging out of the bed. I've also been in sleep paralysis whilst i've heard stuff enter my room and look around, hearing it's footsteps against the wooden floorboards. One time i heard a dog enter the house, barking like crazy and rush into my room and start pulling my hand out of bed.
BUT the worst time i've had sleep paralysis was when i was in that state, stuck on my back staring at ceiling. I then feel the worst feeling in the world like i want to get the fuck out of my room. This weird deep sound starts to come in, kind of like white noise mixed with a sine wave at a low octave. And then out of fucking no where something jumps on top of me and puts it's arms around me, like it was hugging me, but not in a friendly way. So i'm trying to shake like crazy and i could just feel this heavy body resting on top of me, not knowing what it was doing. After about 20 seconds i start to feel it slowly come off and the background noise starts to fade out. I then get this sort of returning-to-body feeling, like i'm returning to my body in bed, it's weird, like a mix between falling and fainting...
but yeah apparently it's mostly due to sleep deprivation and stress. I myself think my room is fucking haunted. LOL
