Sleep Paralysis
I had a sleep paralysis attack yesterday.
For those who don't know, this is what sleep paralysis is: Quote:
I had just finished lunch at home, and I'm now lying on the couch. Tired from a combo of lack of sleep and a hard day at the school/gym, I promptly collapsed just as my sister was heading out, leaving me in the house all alone, and I quickly nod off with the TV on. I'm not sure of how long I was asleep for, but all of a sudden I remember being "conscious". I was awake, yet not awake. I could hear the TV, but it was all hazy. I fully remember not being able to move, I couldn't even turn my head, all I could do is rotate my eyeballs back and forth. I tried to yell out, no go. I tried to "will" my limbs to move, that did shit. I started panicking. I thought I kept hearing "footsteps", and I remembered that my sister left me all alone, so I got all these images of aliens, home invaders... I finally awoke, and 4 hours had elapsed from when I first dozed off to when I woke up, so I'm not sure at what time the attack happened, how long it lasted, or how it ended. All I remember was I was scared as fuck. Not being able to move at all is the worst feeling in the world. Add to that your panicking mind, and it could drive anyone mad. When I woke up I didn't make much of it. It was only later on at 1:30am when I was about to hop into bed that I realized what had happened that afternoon, and I freaked out and didn't want to go to sleep anymore because I didn't want to experience that nightmare again. It was bad, really bad. I think it may have to do something with my super fucked up irregular sleep pattern, so I'll have to correct that. Anyone have any similar experiences? |

That kinda sounds like when I'm trying to wake myself up from a bad dream. I try to move or open my eyes but I can't even though I'm kind of awake. I can usually get my eyes open and then a few seconds later I can move. The only freaky part is the dream I'm trying to get out of as fast as I can.
But what happened to you sounds insane. I hope I never have to go through that. |

Getting shot behind the barn might be exciting and all, but an experience I would rather do without at this time... Give me 60 or so years, and ya got yourself a deal. |
