Thread: Your Sleep Paralysis Experiences?

It's always random for me and I can't control it. It's really fun.

My most recent one was yesterday

It sounded like there was a laser blaster fight going on in my living room! lol

For me about half the time, it feels like I can hardly breath and it sucks. Atleast until I start floating away and into dreamland

Also I tend to have the falling feeling a lot. I guess like "falling down the rabbit hole" as some would say.

I find it fun.

Usually it starts with a strong vibration, and then I feel as if I am in the ocean, on top of a wave. Then it starts to get interesting when I start spinning and falling through my bed, and I can hear increasingly loud static noises... I keep twitching though because SP always takes me off guard, when I'm not trying to WILD. And twitching just takes me out of SP...

Lately I've taken to listening to music when in SP. It comes out as clear as if I was wearing earphones.

It only happened once.

I had no idea what it was at the time.

I was gripped by an overwhelming sense of pure and utter terror and panic. I wanted to scream and couldn't. I wanted to get up and run but I couldn't. I have no idea how long it stayed like that. I also felt like I was slightly hallucinating and wanted that to go away too. I wondered if someone had slipped me drugs in my sleep.

Hi guys


My name is Jack and I'm nineteen years old. I first had one of my dreams about a year ago, I can't remember exactly what happened but I know that I couldn't move and there was a disorientating continuous buzzing down the side of my bed which I could not turn to look at because I couldn't move, I struggled, I was petrified, I thought I was dying. After this first one, I told no one because I thought that there was some kind of demon that came to menace me, or was it just sleep paralysis?
After this experience I never wanted it to happen again... But it did, over and over about twice maybe three times a month. After about the seventh time I started recording what was happening during these dreams, I still didn't like them but I was curious and intrigued because I didn't understand, so these are some of my recording:

Thanks for all friends

Yep, that sounds like sleep paralysis all right! I imagine there's loads of people out there in your exact situation, at least we have the internet and can find out about it. Thinking it's some kind of demon is actually quite common, check this section out. The thing about sleep paralysis is that it works heavily off your expectations. If you're feeling trapped and expecting something horrifying to happen, it probably will. People have been known to see hooded figures bending over then and all sorts. But it doesn't need to be that way. Conversely, if you go into it with a positive attitude, it can end up being a lot of fun. You might get the sensation that you're rolling around the bed, floating, hearing music- not so much scary stuff. And what's more, after it finishes there's a good chance you'll be in a lucid dream. Remember to do a reality check!
