Yes but only mild.
Sleep paralysis is the explanation for why people believed in the succubus, demons, ghosts and today, alien abduction. https://www.livescience.com/56422-sl...-cultures.html Quote:

Only that time I was buried under that Hog I picked up from the bar last night.

Never heard of it before. Sounds like paralysis from terror. Were you having a nightmare?
I talk and walk around asleep I am told, but I never remember it when I wake up. Once I rearranged furniture—no memory of that either. All my shoes on top of my lampshades and bureau trying to save them from some flood was one I remembered the next day. Another time, I had all by business paperwork shoved into my lingerie draw when my former loft-studio was above my home. How the heck I got up there in my sleep is a mystery to this day. |

I had it the first time in high school. I have a fear of the classic alien type grey creature. In my dream one walked in my classroom and turned and looked at me, I woke up, unable to move, scared shitless. After a minute or so I could move and I didn't know what happened, I didn't know if I had been abducted or what. I looked it up and was glad it was fairly common.
Now I've had it maybe 5 or 10 times total, most of which are waking up from a scary dream, and I'm not scared of it anymore, it's cool trying to move your arm but you can't. I don't get any of the 'dark figure sitting on me' things. |

I've had it - but it's been many, many years. You should check out The Nightmare documentary on netflix - it'll help you get them under control.

I believe it's the first or maybe second time it has happened. Absolutely horrible. I tried so hard to move it just wasn't happening. I'll have to check that out though!

It’s happened to me a few times during a nightmare, then I see someThing run across the room or the ceiling and i try to yell but can’t. Been a lot of years since one though.

Are you sure it wasn't a dream right before waking up? Sounds terrifying
I wake up suddenly because I stop taking breaths. I will wake up with a gigantic gasp. Last edited by JakeF; 05-20-2018 at 02:19 PM.. |

I’ve had this most of my life. Only happens rarely and mostly only when I’m asleep on my back. Still takes effort not to panic when it’s happening.

I've had it but it's been awhile. Sometimes wake up and can't move, but will hear some weird sound or see a light turn on in the hallway. My sister has terrifying bouts with it.
