Hi I was just researching the web to find out about a nightmare I had last night and two nights ago. I am hoping someone can tell me what the hell is going on because I am very freaked out. Well the nighmare I had two nights ago just came out of no where. Like I usually have okay dreams about normal stuff and the odd weird ones but this one was really scary. Anyway... I fell asleep normally in my mams house it was pretty late around 2 I think and just woke up during the night paralyzed. Like I couldnt move my body and I remember been wide awake and knew I wasnt asleep, I tried to call my mam who was next door but couldnt so here i was just trapped. I also remember getting this feeling that something evil was around me and this really freaked me out. I also remember looking at the ceiling and seeing weird things like black shadows and stuff I really thought i was been possessed. Anyway then I dont remember anything until I woke up in the morning really sweating and then that was it. I slept really good the next night I think?? but last night was even worse. This happened at my dads house. I went to bed around 1 and then I woke up at exactly 3.30. now to make things worse I hate the time 3.30 cos i was told my a friend once it was the devils hour or something so it always freaked me out ha strange I know.. Anyway this was the start I remember i turned my lamp light off and closed my eyes but then I woke up paralzed and just remember the room been so dark then I tried to turn on my lamp but it would work so i went to turn on my room light but that wouldnt work it was just so dark. then i must have been dreaming because I remember going into my dads room but he wouldnt help me and he was kind of evil looking and then I was in my bed and someone was in front of me just looking down on me i dont remeber who. I was paralyzed again and i was awake!!least it felt like it and then i couldnt move or shout etc and got had evil shadows in my room and could have sworn I saw a dark figure. I Woke up in morning then but went back to sleep and had a normal dream. thats that ha its all very confusing but it pretty scary like so can someone tell me what these dreams mean? and why they happened in two different houses. I read somewhere it might be the position I am sleeping but i slept on my side both nights and woke up on my back just pinned to bed unable to move. Any help would be great.
its called sleep paralysis, and it can be very scary (your mind wakes up before your body and you are aware of your surroundings but unable to move since your body thinks its still sleeping- which it technically is) google that and you should find lots of info to help you out
Yeah, its sleep paralysis, happens to everyone, every time you sleep. But, your normally fully asleep when it happens. Its a saftey messure to prevent your body from actually moving while you dream. Its different for everyone, and can be scary. Personly, I love sleep paralysis. I think I remember reading a while ago, that if you go into it willing the being or whatever you sence to show up, it wont show up, becuase you will be going into it without the fear of it.
Yep.. what they said! I've experienced something similar and I was scared to death. It sure is an awful feeling.
That happened to me last night. It's a really scary feeling. It happens to me a lot, actually...but that's cause I'm narcoleptic. It'll happen as I fall asleep a few times a week, then sometimes I'll wake up paralyzed and hallucinating 10 times in a night. And it the being still shows up even if I'm willing or whatever.
