OK this has to be the phreakyiest moment of my LIFE! and considering how my life is thats damn phreaky!

About 30 mins ago i'd been asleep for about 5 or so hours due to, well exhaustion from uni.

All of a sudden i start hearing (asleep this is) one of my flatmates talking about a prank he'd done on one of his mates today.

he then said something like "c'mon i'll show you" Now i know my room is locked at this point and i know that the hand that i can feel on my shoulder at this point is not my flatmate! Ok now i cant move or speak at all and i only just manage to reach up and grab the face of whatever is holding me.

FUCK! i'm now in that awake/asleep phase you get in the mornings sometimes. and now i'm asleep and again i cant move!

I wake up again and back to sleep i go expecting this again and trying to prepare for it. Now something is FUCKING dragging me out of my bed and i cant fucking move at all! i cant shout help, (it's sounding like an asthmatic would say it if they were having an attack) i can feel and hear myself being dragged across my bed and now i can force myself awake!

Now at this point i'm thinking "FUCK FUCK...etc etc"

This wasnt some wacko alien abduction or something this was an effect that i've heard about before where the body goes static during sleep to prevent you hurting yourself. Now i know this but i can now see damn clearly how people who think they've been abducted in their sleep by "aliens" can get confused cos it is VERY realistic. But damn its the most frightening experience of your life!

just had to share that with someone ya know just in case i aint here tommorow...... /:-?

Out of curiousity, there really was nobody physically in the room in real life, right? You were just totally freaked?

I had a similiar experience about 2 months ago. Like I've said earlier, I'm the paranoid type (due mostly to one weird occurance while younger). I had been asleep for about a half hour (so it was about 3:30AM) and I thought I heard something between dream and the real world. So, I tried to wake myself up, and I think I came to long enough to believe I was awake. Then, I dragged myself into the next room by my semi-paralyzed arms, and found myself in an unfamiliar room... must be dreaming.

So, I 'wake' myself up again, again drag my ass into the next room, and it's only slightly different than normal, but I turn around and there's a short person walking into my room! AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! This is not supposed to happen! I tackled him, and held him down screaming "Who are you?!?!?!" until I 'woke up' again.

This went on for quite a while until I actually woke up, but still couldn't move. I forced myself to move my toes and pinky, then slowly worked toward moving actual parts. It was like a horrible panic attack, it sucked, and brain chemistry is extra sucky some times.

In real life, I've had the semi-sleep paralysis before. It's frightening, especially when you fall asleep in social studies and can't move, even though your eyes are partially opened. The brain likes injecting things into the body on a whim, like when it's fooled into thinking it's going to sleep. I just hope it doesn't happen while I'm driving some time.

I used to get sleep paralysis a couple times a month.
Here's how I found I could snap out of it :

- wiggling my big toe (took awhile to "find" my toe though )
- someone touching me (not very practical, since you can't exactly ask someone when you're paralyzed)
- my alarm going off (only worked if I'd set it, and when it went off I'd jump out of my skin)
- saying "fuck, I'm paralyzed again. Oh well" and going back to sleep. I always woke up normally later on.

edit : fixed grammar oopsie.

No there was no one in real life there. the only thing i could control was my breathing i could only increase my breathing rate and i think thats how i only just managed to move and "try to kill" what was there.

Hmm...this kind of reminds me of a paper that I read once on subconscious minds during sleep. Like above, the mind will shut down to defend itself, kinda like a possum...anyway this half-awake is the subconscouis attempting to realize its surroundings, and rationalize in the simplest way. For example: Guy dragging you around the room=Your mind trying to figure out rug burns from falling...anyway, this is just a theory...you guys figure it out

i read some stuff on that, apparently, getting yourself into the dream world (here comes those xfiles terms and stuff) can be done through astral projection, which brings you to la la land, which is the astral plane. you can also astrally project yourself withing rooms or places around the real world without moving, but you can see what happens. when you do this you must tear away from your physical body because it feels like strands of rubber are keeping you back.

now it sounds like reverse, where you started with your toes and moved up and up and stuff. so you were de-projecting yourself, aka coming back.

of course.. dont ask me how.

yes, i realize thats stupid, irrational, unlikely, or anything else you can take from your vocab.


AND STOP SCARING ME NOW ITS FREAKIN 2:19!

Anyone ever been informed that they sleepwalked?

Apparently i did this once when i was about 7.

I got up, out of my bed, while still asleep, my dad heard something, so he came out and asked me what i was doing.

Apparently I replied "I'm going to get my tin", and dad thought I wanted to go and get a toy from another room, so he steered my sleeping carcass into the room where the toys were kept (apparently i was naturally following the route to the bathroom).

Anyway, when i got to the room with the toys i then proceeded to pull down my pants and urinate on one of the toys :]

I went back to bed (still without waking up) and mum and dad spent the rest of that night, err, cleaning the toys..

never to the point of pissing on things, but i do have to keep the door to the outside world locked (not like i wouldn't anyway, the world is dangerous) so that i can't go outside.
