Sleep Paralysis
Has anyone suffered from this? Last night I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't move and I tried to yell but nothing came out. It was the most terrifying experience of my life.

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:
In certain parts of Brazil, for example, there are folkloric tales of a creature with long fingernails that lurks on people's rooftops during the night. The creature, called "Pisadeira," comes into a person's house and tramples on the chests of those who sleep, according to the review. [7 Mind-Bending Facts About Dreams]

Catalonia, a region in Spain, has the tale of the "Pesanta," a black animal, often a dog or a cat, that invades people's homes and sits on their chests while they are asleep, making it difficult to breathe and causing nightmares, the authors wrote.

In Newfoundland, Canada, it's the "Old Hag" that comes and sits on a sleeping person. And among an ethnic group in Vietnam and Laos, a "pressing spirit" sits on sleepers' chests and tries to asphyxiate them, the researchers found.

The idea of a weight holding someone down is also reflected in the terminology used in Mexico to describe sleep paralysis, according to the review. Translated from Spanish, the phrase means "a dead body climbed on top of me."

Some cultures use tales of spells cast by shamans or summoners to explain sleep paralysis.

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.

Nope. I mean maybe I was and I just don't remember. Was just really scary.

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!

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.

That would be sleep apnea. You should probably have a sleep study done. I did and it helped me tremendously. Started getting much better sleep.

Agreed.

I never knew how tired I was until I wasn’t tired anymore.

It happened a few times when I was a teenager. The first time was truly the worst bc I thought I was in a dream and I was frozen while someone broke into my house.
Once it was explained to me, it wasn’t near as bad bc I could kind of read my way through it and remember that it wasn’t dangerous.

Nowadays I struggle from sleep anxiety and that my friends, is a bitch.

a couple of times the next morning when I was very drunk. I would "dream" I was lying there in my bed trying to get up and go but couldn't move or talk, now I'm realizing this was sleep paralysis. Must hav been brought on by extreme exhaustion in my case.

My ex wife had that. Holy shit, what a mess. Huge strain on the marriage. I'm the type of person who's asleep about .2 seconds after my head hits the pillow. She on the other hand would sit there and worry and cry and get mad because I wouldn't stay awake with her. She would resent me for sleeping, and it was just the worst.
