I have occasionally suffered from this. It's absolutely horrifying, these hauntings produced from some dark place within. And, I've always known they weren't real... But when the attacks are occurring, they might as well be - because I hear, feel, and smell them. This disorder has at times made my life Hell on Earth.
At least you knew it wasn't real. I actually thought I was haunted by a demon and didn't really open up about it.....when I did people would just reply that it's a nightmare to which I'd argue that I'm awake, etc. once I finally did some research and found that I was suffering from sleep paralysis, it happened less and although it's still scary, it isn't as terrifying. I see you had audio....I usually didn't have audio episodes, but the one time it happened, it scared the crap out of me...actually that episode led me to talk to friends and research it. In short, it was repeating things like "Die, kill yourself!"
People actually strive to achieve that state of mind, to be in a more mindful space. The reason you're experiencing an unpleasant experience is because the first thing that consumes you is FEAR. You must learn to overcome this, to have what you may consider a curse into a blessing. To cut your journey short, understand your dreams are a reflection of your spirit.
I experienced this a lot growing up but less now as an adult. It usually happens if you are groggy and napping during the daytime. It is a frightening and frustrating experience as you are completely paralyzed and unable to move but aware that you are in a state of half awake and half asleep. You can hear voices of people in the house but to them you are asleep. You try to move a finger or force yourself to fall off of the bed or sofa to wake up. I usually break the paralysis by concentrating really hard on waking up and moving a pinky. It feels like 30 minutes or longer but it is not. Sometimes you are unable to break paralysis and will end up back in REM deep sleep because you are too tired to fight it.
You can do a lot more then that. You can leave your body if you want. I always worry about the shadow people taking over my body though. I threw a punch at one once and i haven’t seen one for over a decade now. They used to drag me out of my bed and whisper weird stuff to me.
This happened to me once 30 years ago. I was shocked awake by a sense that someone had jumped on top of me, pinning me to the bed. I couldn't move a muscle, I was struggling to breathe, and the feeling of a malevolent presence was very strong. It lasted about a minute and then the weight was suddenly gone along with the feeling of another presence. It was a truly horrible experience.
@nisharoka Once was bad enough for me! You have my heartfelt sympathy for having it so often. 😢 Does it become even slightly less horrific with experience? Or is it just as bad every time?
@@nisharokanot every night but definately episodes where I can have it consecutively for days, then a week later can come back. Yeah it’s definately scary…
I had once too at age 13 couldnt move but eyes open saw that shadow thing tried to strangle me i named god it left in fog never had again sleeping paralysis and my uncle had buyed a haunted house we got a priest sleeped in hotel in that haunted house i had the sleeping paralysis some call it man with hat hatman kikimora night hag aliens incubus succubus so it has many names over the Globus
I want to get it again 😂😂 I've had a so many times I'm now aware of it every time it occurs, it still scary through.. people say you can lucid dream but haven't experienced that yet
It is actually demonic - so repeat the name of Jesus when its happening, again again and slowly you wake up - it always works for me and its stopped - secret -plus if you sleep on your front you will not get sleep paralysis - if you sleep on your front when you nap you won't get it
@lelskiiii19 same bro it happened to me two days i decided to take a nap during the day in my room and it was bright. I thought I had woke up as as I could see my bright room and my ceiling clearly, I could hear my brother and my mum talking in the room beside me. As I tried to get up I realised I was paralysed and this created an unexplainable sense of fear. I started to feel like i couldn’t breathe properly. I looked at my ceiling and demon faces started appearing. I felt a strange force that started to pull me down my bed from my feet but it didn’t feel like hands. The force was overpowering and I felt useless. I ended up on the floor but the woke up to reality that it was a dream. Seriously scared to go to sleep incase this happens again.
I was severely traumatized years ago as a teenage, got diagnosed with cptsd. Spent my whole life fighting cptsd. Not until my husband recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
I experience this a few times a week. I don’t have visual hallucinations, but I get auditory and tactile ones. I can usually “feel” things on top of me, or grabbing at me, and I can “hear” voices or things rustling around me. It feels like my heart rate is going crazy, and my whole body is vibrating. I usually have to concentrate really hard on waking up, and will try to move my hand. Truly a horrible experience
Me to I don't see stuff but I feel a evil presence as if there breathing in my ear it's fkg horrible If I sleep on my back on the couch I will definitely slip into paralysis I'm actually scared to go to sleep because of it
I have this but I can choose to control or not control my body I can also choose to go to my dream and it was hard to control at first but I can choose to either control my real body and become awake or my dream body which feels just like my real body go to kind of like a half sleep state where I can dream but also acknowledge that I am in a dream giving me full controll of my dream
See if you can have a sleep study done. I no longer experience SP since I started wearing a cpap. Your symptoms were exactly like mine. It's causing stress to your heart and you might even start to experience short term memory issues. If you dream that you're underwater and can't breathe, or you have gum stuck down your throat, that's your subconscious telling you that you are having an apnea during sleep.
Wanna ask you a question while this is still fresh. So i think i can frequently recreate sleep paralysis (self proclaimed) by intentionally keeping my self as conscious as possible when i am extremely sleepy. This cannot always happen it has to be during midnight. So before i am able to fall back to sleep if i force my consciousness to be around i will enter sleep paralysis. At this point i can be totally awake, not feeling sleepy but i just cant move. Is this SP? I am also not seeing ghost but i just cant move. I either fall asleep as is, or force myself extremely hard to break it, usually in less than what feels like 30 seconds. I cant always break it sometimes i will just stay paralyzed so i just fall back asleep just so ghost image wont start appearing. Usually ghost only appears in unintended SP (after i wake up from a long time sleep) for me, if i force myself into SP, i wont see any ghost (this is induced SP shortly after i wake up midnight, and force myself to be conscious while feeling sleepy) Please lmk if any of this sound logical
CORRECT!! It is actually demonic - there is something about being open laying on your back and closed spiritually when your on your front - Plus I repeat the name of Jesus when its happening, again again say the name Jesus and you will slowly you wake up - it always worked for me and its stopped - You have nothing to lose so you should try it - thats if your on your back we live in a spiritual world, no one talks about this truth
In elementary school I was bullied to the point of considering any way out, also I was experiencing Sleep Paralysis episodes nearly every night. I was about 14 years old and I hadn't told anybody about that at the time, I didn't really trust anybody back then. My first experience was such a trauma that it happened for a few more nights. I woke up, couldn't move, breathing was hard and I saw a dark figure that faded to nothing in that dark room, I tried to look up and I remember it appearing on my chest and directly looking into my eyes from a very close distance. I knew that it should not be possible to experience such similar situations night by night, I thought i was the one that induced it by being afraid of the episode happening again. Eventually, I tried to interact with the "creature" and when I figured out how to make it "talk" by just thinking about it, was such a strange experience, scary and exciting at the same time, shortly after the first few words I recover. About 6 years ago i left that school and continued my studies elsewhere, the problem seems to be solved and i did not experience any episodes randomly, but I can still induce one If I am subject to high levels of stress but almost every night, I have Lucid dreams and as soon as i wake up, I have a recollection of what i was dreaming about.
This just happened to me and I had the need to investigate this because it is the second time it has happened to me. The first time was too scary, I couldn't move, I felt a terrible weight on me as if they were sinking me into the bed and I felt that someone was watching me even though no one was in the room. And now the sensation was different because I was lying on my back. I didn't feel the weight on me, but I heard whispers as if someone was speaking very softly and the sounds were getting closer to me. I heard it twice and looked at my window thinking it was a sound from outside, but it felt very close to me. It scared me a lot because I didn't want to feel like that for as long as it happened the first time, so I tried to say the name of God and I said Jesus and although I couldn't move I did have the sensation that my lips were moving and in a few seconds I was able to move completely. It's amazing that just doing that woke me up so quickly and I wanted to share it with you. Thank you for reading.
I had one of my more extreme episodes a minute ago on-and-off right after I had a dream so I knew what was happening to me. I can’t even count the times I’ve had it, it’s been continuous for years and sometimes I can go over a month without it then get it consecutive nights in a row or multiple times in one day. Generally if I am disturbed in some way or THINK about getting it gets me my highest chances. I think I may need to see a doctor 😂😅
I too have had that. I always sleep on my back and it was always whispers but it got so bad that I couldn’t even say Jesus. I couldn’t move at all and the whispers started to say things like I’m going to kill you. Eventually I saw the thing in my room to the right of me. The aura it gives off is what I think paralyzes you. It filled me with dread and terror and I genuinely thought I was going to die but I can never truly convey to someone who hasn’t experienced it themselves, what it really feels like. It eventually spoke its name to me but I don’t remember it anymore and I couldn’t find it online back then. The first time it happened, I ran out of my house down the street and stood there while I tried to figure out what to do. I was 19 at the time and in a very dark place. Once I started taking adderrall is when it went away.
Surprisingly, I have not felt paralyzed since I commented here. I've abandoned my penchant for scary movies and violent video games like Call of Duty. Embracing prayer at least twice a week has become a newfound source of solace, drawing me closer to God. While medications may be beneficial for some, my remedy has been this spiritual shift. I share my experience in the hope that others may find inspiration to explore alternative paths toward well-being.
My therapist told me to say out loud before bed “I am going to sleep well and have good dreams and no sleep paralysis. I am going to wake up happy and energized. I am going to sleep peacefully.” I thought it was dumb so it took awhile for me to do it eventually I was so desperate I tried it and the sleep paralysis finally stopped. Antidepressants can help too
Its actually demonic - so repeat the name of Jesus when its happening again again and slowly you wake up - it always works for me - secret -plus if you sleep on your front you will not get sleep paralysis - if you sleep on your front when you nap you won't get it
I’ve had this off and on for the last two years. Im lucky in that my hallucinations are always pretty mundane rather than supernatural. The amount of times I’ve hallucinated a conversation between me and my mom and not known upon waking whether it had actually happened or not…

as someone who've had a lot of sleep paralysis, here is the cure! step 1. close your eyes back step 2. breath in deeply then breath out step 3. repeat step 2 step 4. when you know the timing of your own breath, open your eyes super quickly while breathing out heavily! step 5. (if you know its sleep paralysis, just laugh it out lol) think of "not this shit again lol". your welcome!
I have this a lot and after going through it so many times I've learned that the more you try to fight it and get out of it the more stuck you become. All I can really do is focus on breathing and start with trying to move your fingers and toes and as soon as you start to feel yourself getting out of it don't try to get up fast because it will just start all over. Stay calm and very slowly keep moving your fingers until it feels like the weight on your chest is completely gone before getting up and changing sleeping positions.
Oh man, I am suffering because of it. I want to move my body, but I cannot hear the sounds around me, and I feel pain in my head like electricity. When I wake up, I fall asleep again, and it repeats itself again, and I wake up and fall asleep, and it repeats itself until I no longer want to sleep.
I think everyone shoud be taught what sleep paralysis is and how to quickly recognize it. When it happens the first time and you don't know what's happening, its terrifying. However, when you know what it is and relax into it, it's an incredible experience.
I only ever experienced sleep paralysis once, and it was at a friend's house. I had an auditory hallucination and heard a terrifying demonic voice keep saying blood...blood... blood. It was every 5-10 seconds and sounded like it was in the next room getting closer and closer to me. I was able to look around but it felt like a blanket was overtop of me and my body was asleep. I tried so hard to get up and managed to sit up a few inches. I tried again as hard as I could and sat up probably about 6-12 inches then made a loud groan which was actually hilarious. That groan, combined with falling about 6-12 inches, woke up my body and I was about to move again, I laughed at the sound I made and just went back to sleep. I knew what sleep paralysis was at that time but was still truly afraid when it happened. It was like a sense of dread washed over me when woke up and looked around but felt my body was asleep and could still hear everything around me, and then that creepy voice sealed the deal. I couldn't imagine experiencing that as a kid and not knowing what it is! That would give me nightmares for months! Anyway, the next day I told my friends about my sleep paralysis and reenacted what happened to me and they died laughing 😂 I was sleeping in their livingroom on a futon couch they had, and if someone were to walk past me at that time, they would have probably thought I was posessed! The weird thing was we bought a Ouija board the time before that when I stayed over previously, but never used it and idk where they put it but maybe I was almost attacked that night by a ghostie 👻
@@426F6F Haha. That is a bit creepy about the Ouija board. Who knows... I had a similar one with something approaching me and holding me down and another time where I could hear a child screaming like it was being murdered in the next room. It was so realistic how it sounded perfectly like it was muffled through the walls and coming from a particular room to my right. Crazy shit
First time when I had sleep paralysis, I got so afraid but then researched about it and it never came since then but today I experienced it one more time and I came to know what was common in that time and today's time. I have a habit of covering myself with sheets.But today and that day I was sleeping without any cover.. And it only comes whenever I sleep alone.. So I have reached to conclusion that I can avoid it. And one more thing when today I got sleep paralysis I was sleeping sideways.. So there was no demon, not any voice.. And I only had one thing in my mind.. Move, move yourself.. Get the hell out of this state.. You can do it.. No one can make me afraid.. I also realized no matter how much I moved.. There was not even an inch difference but then also I believed myself, kept trying and fell into deep sleep again and when I woke up I felt so refreshed.
Exactly so iam. I thought it first my soul leaving my body or is it like demon, I tried very hard 😮💨 but in my case I did move and wake up then covered my bed sheet. My grandma said its a demon sometimes come, but I got it now what it is actually 🤯.
This constantly happened to me for the first few months after I became homeless. I didn't experience the feeling of dark creator-like objects or pressure on my chest, but I definitely was awake and unable to move for a few seconds/minutes. The sleep paralysis stopped when I began sleeping on top of roof tops or underneath bridge ledges, places where I felt I could rest without being interrupted.
secret - if you sleep on your front you will not get sleep paralysis - its actually spiritual - if you sleep on your front when you nap you won't get it
I experience this a lot. It’s not really scary at all to me. I can usually break myself out of it by concentrating on moving my head. You start by slowly rocking your head from side to side. Once you have a little bit of momentum you whip your head like you’re trying to flip your hair. If you do that hard enough it snaps you out of it. I just don’t have the balls to allow myself to go back to sleep with the dark shapes and weird noises. So I always wake myself up and re-fall asleep. This happens to me very often. I imagine it’s because of my random wake and sleep times. I am a Paramedic and don’t really have the best sleep schedule. It’s part of the job though.
It's a natural thing. Your brain cease your body's ability to move to prevent sleep walking. And to talk, so that you don't speak out your dreams. However there are two things that the brain doesn't paralyse. The eyes and the diaphram. This is why your eyes can still move when you are asleep and dreaming. You are also able to breathe. If you open your eyes, you will hallucinate, so it's better to keep them closed. There is also nothing on top of you, but because you are aware, you are able to sense your body's weight plus your inability to move, it feels as though there is something on you, but there is actually nothing.
This is something I get regularly. I used to get it every night, but nowadays I get it every 2-4 days. If this info helps at all I also get a lot of Lucid dreams and nightmares. I also tend to be more tired on days that I get more sleep. I do also have some mental issues that I'm going through and on weeks where it's worse I tend to have more sleep paralysis. Hope that info helps anyone.

I get sleep paralysis very rarely maybe once every 3 months but the experience is absolutely terrifying, I hallucinate and see things I would usually see in dreams, Its the feeling of no matter how hard you try you can not lift your body up.
I’ve been experiencing this more frequently. Like three times in the past two weeks. I’ve been unable to open my eyes during these ‘episodes’ no matter how hard I try and can’t move a single muscle. I try to shout out to my family, and in these episodes I sometimes think I manage to let out a really quiet cry, but I have no idea if I actually manage it. In my most recent one (this afternoon), I couldn’t open my eyes but I could sense that there was two dogs in my room. I knew this was wrong because we only have one dog. Then I felt teeth around both of my hands and no matter how much I tried to shake them off I couldn’t move them. Yay!
I get this many many times a month upwards to multiple times a week. I am one of the lucky ones that does not experience hallucinations, but I do experience major anxiety and ears ringing during the experience and immense drowsiness after the experience.
Yep. Many many times I've experienced this. I took the time to try and figure it out. The sensation of having something or someone on your chest... that's not the best description. I know exactly what that is. It's the fact that you're in a panic... and even though your heart might be racing (or at least it SHOULD be from your point of view), you're rate of breathing remains as it does in your sleep. When you want to scream but have no control of your breath, that's a problem and it severely compounds the overall sense of horror. I could never open my eyes, or speak, or move... unless I concentrated for all I was worth. Once I could move just a bit (like when you twitch from a dream), then I'd wake. And ya, you CAN learn to control it "from the inside"... if you can calm down, just come up with a scenario and let your mind take over. Invent your own dream... and it works. Then all of a sudden your waking up hours later. Unfortunately, it had to happen almost nightly for me to get ahead of it. But, once I did it was no longer anything to fear. In fact, I enjoyed it.
That wasn’t sleep paralysis. That was a spiritual encounter. I despise how these “specialists” want us to think otherwise with word salads. It just happened to me 30 minutes ago. I stayed calm and did not react. Just laid still and aware. It kissed / brushed my lips and departed.
@@PassportDialectic meh... never once encountered or even thought I encountered another entity. It was completely physical right down to being able to hear everything going on around me.
Useful info, especially the breathing issues, thank u. I force myself to be thrown out of bed & then make a big effort to sleep walk to the toilet. The next big challenge is not falling back into freeze mode in bed, but going to make a hot drink / coffee, which really helps overcome the forced breathing and wheezy issues. Then I’m often scared to go back to sleep.
craziest experience of today, i went to bed at 3:30 and some time around then i was listening to ASMR and closed my eyes. I froze and couldnt move then i heard some giberish being whispered into my ear like some demon language or something i could faintly hear the video then. It started and i was concious becuase i knew what this was, my legs were stuck and i couldnt move them and i forced my self to close my eyes becuase i opened it once and its like a zoomed out FOV like in minecraft. And i saw a small dark figure like a goblin or somethjing and i shut my eyes. and then i started to scream for help for my parents in the next room i thought they could hear me but i guess not. i was screeming and my voice sounded distorted and muffled. I forced my eyes shut again and then i woke up. Maybe it was a nightmare or something and i was stressing out 2 hours before. Thanks for reading and sorry for the spelling mistakes.
When this usually happens to me its when I'm in physical pain after a long day,like walking a lot in a theme park or something.at first it's a regular dream but it escalates when something happens.ive always had a strong will but it is still hard to get out of them to this day.every time I move in this state,a chill goes down my spine,10x worse then the wiggle you get when you pee,but this happens every time I move. Everytime I move the shock/chill that goes down my spine is painful.im thinking of writing a book or something on fictional "or real"people in my brain that don't like it when I talk back to them because they don't know when your lucid dreaming. It is real,never tell someone your in a dream,in a dream,because they will swipe you away and torture you like they did to me.a blue guy in suspenders and a sun dude and a short white boy with sort black hair are common occurrences.
prazosin worked for me. vivid dreams, feeling things crawling around in my bed, stuck between states.... dont really miss them at all, but some of those vivid dreams were WILD

just experienced sleep paralysis. while i was facing it, the period was frightening. i was trying to wake up from lying by leaning sideways (just a typical way of waking up) but couldn't. i was like i was glitched. half of the movement was made and finally instead of being in seating position, i got myself again lying. reapeated 2-3 times then it got frightening. i felt dizzy lying there. then suddenly my vision got clearer. i was able to look the environment and feel the surrounding, but still it was not as clear as we normally see the world. after i saw the change in vision, i was relieved the okay now i am fine. i tried moving my leg, and it moved!!! wow. then i woke up and i realized that it was sleep paralysis, a term that i was previously familiar with but today got to experience it. Although it was frightening, the experience was so wholesome and i enjoyed it. i had a smile in the face and whispered to my self, "wow maja aayo" (in english it translates to "wow that was fun")
“Important: If you’re frequently experiencing sleep paralysis, take this seriously. Don’t try to move when it happens. Instead, focus on closing your eyes. This method can make it much easier for you to wake up faster. Stay safe!”
It happened to me again today during a nap in the morning, but this time was different I did not felt the weight of something. I felt like a was falling so rapidly it was so scary. I fought so hard to move that I felt exhausted and just gave up, after an eternity in my mind finally I woke up completely.
I used to get it a lot when I was dealing with PTSD. If you get this occuring more often and you experienced something traumatic, get therapy. I didnt go for 3 years and had to deal with every night, a 50 50 of either very realistic dreams about life (escaping real life) or had very bad sleep paralysis. I have learned that if you struggle with sleep paralysis, however terrified you are, it helps to walk around the house after you woke up. Check every room.. see that theyre empty and not scary (preferably with a pet).. and do that every time you wake up from it. Itll calm you down during the upcoming paralysis, and be more aware of when it happens. For me it lessened(idk) through time.
Its one of the most awful sensations ever, sometimes you cant even breathe, you can be fully aware and you somehow try to beg for help and you try to scream but in reality you are just moaning hoping someone can hear you and wake you up. Last time it happened to me I thought I was going to die, no joke
Sadly I experienced this and woke everyone up 1-2am in the morning yelling… thought someone was watching me standing by the door and I couldn’t move lol scary what our minds can do this to us.

I started getting SP when I was a kid, which led to sedative/alcohol abuse in high school. I had to quit everything when I was pregnant, and my episodes were so bad I couldn't sleep at all. They would happen riiiight as I was falling asleep, and I'd have to wake up. They initially thought I had {?} post-withdrawal syndrome {?}, and then they blamed the stress of having 2 babies. No one would listen to me that this had been a lifelong problem. My dad and brother also have it. Finally in 2007 I got hospitalized because I was was awake for so long my body shut down. They put me on Ambien, which miraculously stopped the episodes and helped me sleep, and scheduled me for an intake at a sleep clinic to see if I had apnea. Long story short, after 2 tests I was diagnosed with Recurrent Isolated Sleep Paralysis, which means I don't have any disorder causing it. The doctor said I just have "bad sleep architecture", and also that being a back-sleeper was triggering my episodes. I went though Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which was immensely helpful, and trained myself {mostly} not to sleep on my back. From what I was told, back sleeping, sleep deprivation, and stress are the trifecta triggers that almost guarantee an episode 😕
I remember having my first paralysis when I was around 11 years old, my big sister was baby sitting me at the time and I was screaming her name but without sound, for like 10+ mins straight, couldn't move a muscle, couldn't do anything, etc seeing this tall guy, demon, whatever the hell it was just standing, looking at me like he was about to kill me or something, I eventually "woke up" in dripping in sweat and I yelled after my sister, she came storming in and asked what happened, I told her and she just took me to her room, fell asleep like 10 mins later, it was one of the most scary things i've ever encountered.

I suffer from this from time to time, I stil don’t realize if stress/tiredness factors are factors for me. One thing I observed that were common in all of them is having one member (arm, leg, etc.) being “stuck”, e.g.: sleeping over my arm, putting my feet between the desk and wall if sleeping in the office, etc. Today was the first time I felt most in control of the situation, the only issue was I felt like I was going to flip backwards on my chair lol, but I realized right away that was a sleep paralysis.

Been having these issues for around 4 years since covid in 2020 & then a massive dog attack from behind in 2022. Very bored of it now! Often I miss a morning off my life & a whole day off work as so disoriented and have depersonalisation. Lots of head pressure and ear popping. Some happy places in knowing deeper the meaning of consciousness.

I experience sleep paralysis very frequently and I’m watching this video right now bc I’m so sleepy but every time I attempt to fall asleep I keep having sleep paralysis. I remember first having it freshman year of high school, since then it hasn’t gone away.
I suffer from this 2-3 times a week! The scary stuff eventually goes away because you know what it’s happening. The only horrors are trying to get yourself to wake up. The best way is to trying to move my toes first then leg. I’ve fallen off the side of the bed many times from trying to wake myself up and the worst ones are when your on your back because it feels like your choking.
Had this regularly as a teen. It started after I tried lucid dreaming for a while (don't know if it was related). Was scary as hell. I ended up finding out that if I ignore it and don't try to wake up, it vanishes quickly. It became way less scary and eventually never happened again.
Wouldn’t say it’s pain, but it does feel like total shit, and for like 1 or 2 mins, you’re just stuck looking around your room and wall feeling like shit and can’t move your head and body, I dunno the feeling sucks, but of course I’ve had worse pain, not trying to sound like a badass or anything
I just went through this situation 30 minutes ago And I felt as if someone was above my head. I was not able to move my body even if I wanted to. And I also felt some noise as if someone was above my head. It was a very scary experience.
It is actually demonic what you are experiencing - so repeat the name of Jesus when its happening, again again say teh name Jesus and you will slowly you wake up - it always worked for me and its stopped - secret -if you sleep on your front you will not get sleep paralysis - if you sleep on your front when you nap you won't get it - you live in a spiritual world, no one talks about this truth
I've had so many episodes of sleep paralysis even if i wake up, i feel so sleepy that sometimes i would fall back to sleep, i think i could die if i didn't wake up, i would pull myself up and wet my head to make me feel awake, it's so hard, it's terrifying, sometimes i could tell I'm going to have an episode even before i fell asleep
I have been experiencing sleep paralysis frequently & trust me keeping the music on from your phone or any device the whole time prevents it from happening.
Just had this happen to me last night but I was somehow able to know what was happening and that helped me calm down and just wait for it to stop. Still it’s terrifying.

I suffer with SP. Just had an episode 2 mins before watching this. But I've never been able to open my eyes when it happens. I can hear everything around me like the youtube video I was just watching as I fell asleep but can't move or open eyes. For anyone that's never experienced it, it's scary at first as you're paralysed but conscious. Trying to move but can't. Luckily it only lasts maybe 10 seconds but feels like a lifetime.
Happened to me for the first time the other day. Woke up and thought I was paralyzed. Felt a crazy rush of immense fear and anxiety. Scariest shit ever.
I’ve had this for like 15 years. I can astral project and look at my body from the ceiling and move around as like an energy cloud. Science doesn’t really explain all that and it doesn’t explain what the shadow people are that almost everyone sees at least once.
neurology can explain both of those phenomen, and there are various, credible hypotheses that provide logical insight into the cause of both the perception of "shadowy figures" and out-of-body experiences. you simply haven't looked in the right places.
It because science hasn't yet realised there is a spiritual world in this planet and it is actually demonic what you are experiencing - so repeat the name of Jesus when its happening, again again say the name Jesus and it will lose it grip, bit by bit - and will slowly you wake up - it always worked for me and its stopped - You have nothing to lose so you should try it Plus secret -if you sleep on your front you will not get sleep paralysis - sleep on your front - when you nap you won't get it - you live in a spiritual world, no one talks about this truth
@@iammazen 100 %. Space doesn’t’ t allow here - it’s all easily accessed. Astral -projection = atonia (paralysis to prevent hurting yourself or someone else during REM sleep), which means loss of bodily perception of the body, which is experienced as floating as you know longer feel the pressure of gravity, bedding etc. And shadow people - we’re like a kid with a fever in a dark room, so a coat becomes a moving figure etc. as we have REM activity while in a conscious state.
I had my first experience this moring. I am 21 years old and as i already know about sleep paralysis and what happenes i didn't panic. I was terrified and my heart rate increased but I assured myself this will end soon. I was sleeping on my back with my right arm on my forehead. I couldnt move but i had this electric feeling as if like i was a machine or if something electric just weighed on me. There was a strange buzzing noice too. Every inch of my body wanted to react to it but couldn't. I saw a shadow looming over me not clearly but i did, i could close my eyes . So i closed my eyes and waited.

Okay. I need to get it out via TH-cam because it's 2am and I'm freaked out. I've struggled with sleep paralysis before during times of trauma / depression. It's just been a little over 1 year since I've had one. Last semester a friend of mine had a tonic clonic seizure that I witnessed / called the ambulance for. I guess with finals / summer my brain just stuffed it down and didn't process it. Tonight I was caught in a 3 cycle loop. I dreamt I was walking around campus, in a dark moody atmosphere and my facial expressions mimicked hers. I felt my body distort similar to a demonic force taking over me. It felt like hell, and I kept thinking what is happening and why I keep coming back here. It was so painful. Anyways. Google/ videos like this help. The brain is crazy, and would love to get some real rest 😮💨

I've suffered sleep paralysis for over 3 years now. The first time I had a episode was so frightening, I felt like I was gonna die. Now it's nothing and I do not fear it at all. I did find a way to prevent it however usually when I'm bored whilst going to sleep I purposely let it happen so I can watch the show. To prevent it you have to sleep on your side, not your back. Apparently sleeping on your back prevents it much more. This method works for me, too. I'm still kind of scared when I get sleep paralysis since the latest time I've got one 3 weeks ago, and 2 days I think one of the hallucinations walked up to me and jumped on my chest 😳 I immediately opened my eyes because I was relaxing and then boom i felt the pressure of something or someone standing on my chest, opening up my eyes to finding some tall pale man on my chest. After a few seconds it got out luckily. I really thought I was gonna die. I am never gonna experience this again... it's scary even after 3 years of experience..😫
@@VNLEntertainm1nt yeah I hear slight wiggle to the fingers or toes is the best way to regain the strength to come out of it. So that's what I've been trying
Living with it for 20+ years, usually get it atleast once a month sometimes more but we still here and still fighting the bad djinns. Dead awake is a pretty cool movie about sleep paralysis btw worth a watch
I get this all the time and it’s quite different from the way sleep paralysis is often explained. I cannot open my eyes and there are absolutely no ghostly/demonic hallucinations. Sometimes it happens to me during a dream/nightmare which usually manifests itself as me being paralyzed (stuck in a tiny claustrophobic space or smothered in something that’s incredibly heavy) or feeling too intoxicated (like being super drunk, but being fully aware of the mistakes you’re making) to move properly, like you’re uncontrollably stumbling everywhere until you finally fall and cant get up. If it happens in between sleeping and being awake, I have it sometimes happen at the point of going to sleep as well as at the point of waking up. I’m just stuck with my eyes closed trying to desperately move a limb enough to get the momentum to fall off the bed because I know that will wake me up… Although it never works. 😐

I dont know what I saw years ago is a sleep paralysis or not- I was sleeping on the top of a bunk bed and I woke up randomly at night. It wasnt pitch dark. Then I called out my youngest sister's name and asked her to bring me a glass of water (while I was doing this I didnt know why I was doing it- Like why would I call someone's name while my whole family is asleep??) Then someone entered from the door, it was my youngest sister but it was more like a black shadowy figure that looked like my sister and the figure had a faint green glow to it. It didnt have eyes or anything like that. It approached me and held to the side of my bunk bed. It didnt have a face but it was staring at me. I freak out, I still feel kind of scared when I remember it. I hid under my blanket and tried my best to hold my breath. I dont know how I fell back to sleep but yeah- Ive tried searching something about this but I couldnt really find anything that's the same as mine. I was able to move so it wasnt a sleep paralysis? One of my friends told me that it might have been an evil skinwalker because of the green aura and all. Idk man, it's weird
Sounds like an early state of awareness of an lucid dream bro mine wasn’t exactly the same i was in the dining room playing with a controller then I guess i got mad or something then i threw the controller down but it was orange and o noticed it was orange Ive never had a orange controller then i relized everything was very very slow and I said to myself it’s a dream an asoon as I said that my whole body feel backwards then i woke up with very loud ringing in my ears that type of stuff happens to me regularly when i don’t get enough sleep i know imma have sleep Paralysis or something sometimes i do it on purpose just to explore the human mind it’s amazing on how much we don’t know and i feel gifted that i can do ot whenever i want i just need to get very tired
It’s when you realize you’re in sleep paralysis that you can leave your physical body and astral project. Instead of focusing on moving your body and fully waking, instead allow your body to remain in paralysis and instead, rise out of it
I have figured out that forcing yourself to stay awake late and then trying to sleep causes me to slip into paralysis. When I maintain a healthy sleep schedule I never have the issue. Otherwise when I’m up all night as late as 2am or later I’m almost guaranteed to have it hit me. Lately my wife and I have been up to feed our newborn baby throughout the night and at times it’ll hit me when I’m trying to go back to sleep in the early am. When it hits me I have all kinds of experiences such as seeing shadow monsters, I can hear ear-splitting screams in my ears, I’ll have out of body adventures where I’m running through endless corridors being chased by raging zombies, ill even hallucinate breaking out of it just to find out I’m still stuck and can’t move over and over again. Sleep paralysis is torcher. So just get to bed on time and let your mind rest. Cheers!
Whenever I have sleep paralysis I call in the name of Jesus, I dont have fear while I have the sleep paralysis episode, I feel so much better.. Honestly I haven't had it for a long time
I had sleep paralysis so so often before I converted into Islam. I think somehow it is connected to faith in god and weak spirituality to the point it attracts creations we call Jhins in islam. I praise Allah for stopping all my sleep paralysis
i decided to take a nap during the day in my room and it was bright. I thought I had woke up as I could see my bright white room and my ceiling clearly, I could hear my brother and my mum talking in the room beside me. As I tried to get up I realised I was paralysed and this created an unexplainable sense of fear. I started trying to shout for help into the other room but it felt like I was shouting into a vacuum. Started feeling like i couldn’t breathe properly. I looked at my ceiling and demon faces started appearing. I felt a strange force that started to pull me down my bed from my feet but it didn’t feel like hands. The force was strong and overpowering and I felt useless. I ended up on the floor but the woke up to reality that it was a dream. Seriously scared to go to sleep incase this happens again.
Just had it a few minutes back and I realised what I experienced was sleep paralysis I am still shit scared but being a science girl, science always calms me down so I just came here to know about it and is feeling better knowing that i am not the only one to experience it and even if there is any evil spirit behind it I hope it wards off I renounce it! So that it never comes to me back again
I Had sleep paralysis from the age of 8 to 26 at one point i was able to start speaking thru it but not as clearly calling someone to wake me up still a wild experience everytime it happens
I suffered from this every 4th or 5th day, I don't know how to deal with this.. it has been 15 years but it go for 2 3 month and came back !! It's very very horrifying, normal people can't understand this never ever !!
I was definitely a spiritual entity. I despise how these “specialists” want us to think otherwise with word salads. It just happened to me 30 minutes ago. I stayed calm and did not react. Just laid still and aware. It kissed / brushed my lips and departed.
About the same amount people that have a cold at any one time (which is known to be 1/3 of the worlds population) is the same amount of people that have sleep paralysis. And it can last for hours when you keep thinking you've woken up but really haven't and are actually dreaming. There is sleep paralysis where your wide awake and there's sleep paralysis in an actual dream and you can bounce back and forth unable to truly wake up for however long
I experienced this before, and i still remember it as a kid. it was hard to survive sleep paralysis, heres how it happened i was just watching a episode of garu and pucca [okay im a fan so dont judgei i liked it when i was a kid okay] after i watched it, My mom told me its bedtime, after that i started dreaming that i was garu running away from pucca in my house. after that i couldnt move while my brain was active i was thirsty at that time but i couldnt move while that was happening,but i forgot the rest of what happened but it was true. please dont sleep on ur back it happens to me alot, and this is just one out of many sleep paralysis
I'm suffering from this continuously,, but when I got this very first time, i was just having a normal dream then suddenly a lady came to me and whispered my name and said come with me which boat will you choose to come,, ohh you are denying it then she literally came to my face and said deny it now.. I tried to wake up but I was not able to move after some minutes I came back in my sense... It was terrifying.. Then I searched about this,, and now I'm facing it 1-2 times a week..now the dreams are more horrifying I can't even tell.. But I think that it is because of sleeping schedule whenever I try to sleep in the morning or day time I get them.. And also I'm a overthinker so I don't sleep fast usually but when those dreams wants to come,, I get in sleep in 2 min and that's the plus point because I get to know that they are coming so I salp myself and try to wake me up so I don't get them because when you sleep in this shit this thing will happen with you again and again and you can't wake up easily because the sleep don't let you.. 😮💨
I have experienced this severally now. My hallucinations seem so real. One time i saw and felt someone wrestling me and today its like i was being sucked into a portal i think. It's so scary. The feeling that there's someone else in my room is also so real but for me although I'm aware my eyes never open its like my entire body shuts down while there's an entire war going on inside of me
I am on my 30s. And last night was the first time in my life for me to experience sleep paralysis. And its absolutely horrific. I thought i was about to die. Since i’ve heard so many things (peoples screaming, bell’s ringing, someone praying, etc) and every sounds and voices that i’ve heard feels like real. The worst part is i can understand every word that „this person” is praying for. Eventually i tried to get up. In my mind i was already standing still, but in reality i was still laying in bed💀💀
I have always been able to get out of a nightmare by holding my breath when I know I’m dreaming, but when I had this thing call it what you want, I saw everything in the room but like with a gray filter and a dark shadow thing came and picked me up, I tried holding my breath but nothing worked. It took me outside in the dark and I woke up all sweaty and traumatized
41 years ago I had woke up and couldn't move my body. Thinking I heard my husband downstairs, I began calling for him. I could move my neck and my voice worked very well. My body was totally paralyzed. Never happened again
If someone goes through it say the name ofJesus again and again and again!! you will wake up. Trust me, its just demonic - it stopped once i did this when it happened - you wake up as you repeat the name of christ
It’s almost everytime when I’m laying on back. The craziest one was I heard hovering noises so I opened my eyes to see greys standing over me with my bed levitating and bright flashes moving my whole house to the sky yelling from the top of my lungs for Jesus and they disappeared but for years now i actually don’t know if was just tripping that I called out to god or if it’s all in my head.
I was plagued by SP very frequently from age 17 to age 36. It went away once I started using a cpap. The base of my tongue is enlarged so sleep apnea happens. The lack of O2 to the brain creates a similar effect as the hallucinations that fighter pilots have when they pull too many G's and pass out. It has something to do with the brain suddenly being unable to locate the body due to lack of oxygen. RadioLab had a hood episode on this phenomenon although it didn't include Sleep Paralysis.
Sleep paralysis can become less scary the better you understand it and more experienced you are. In fact it can even benefit you if you're wanting to lucid dream
i had sleep paralysis last week and it was very scary, i had it a couple times back then but this time it was way different, when i got sleep paralysis i obviously couldn’t move or talk but i also couldn’t open my eyes, (btw i was sleeping in my stomach) i didn’t even know i was having sleep paralysis until i found out that i couldn’t move and i was having a hard time breathing, but it was scary because i couldn’t open my eyes and i thought that i was dying in my sleep, in that moment i just said to myself “am i really gonna die here without no one even knowing?” i tried to open my mouth and scream for help but i couldn’t. i was just so scared and terrified that i was gonna die but i ended up waking up and i just started to breath in and out fast.
I just experienced this the other day, thankfully nothing horrifying. I was aware that I was sleeping/dreaming and tried my best to wake up but I really couldn't. I then tried to move my fingers and then pinched my stomach as hard as I could, that's when I finally woke up... it felt like I was able to breathe normally again. Experiencing this sucks a lot!!!

I’m only 15 and for the past few weeks there are times when I can’t move and breathe at night or early in the morning. I have to physically remember how to jerk my body awake so I can breathe and wake up. This can happen to me multiple times a day.
I had one episode years ago...it was an Encounter of the 'Third Kind'. 👽 I also suffer from serious insomnia/disruptive sleep after I was run over by a semi truck at 19 yrs old. My guess is a traumatic shock to my hypothalamus as I've had hormonal disruption since. Some Drs.think there's a connection between brain trauma and fibromyalgia based on a good amount of circumstantial evidence. It occured to me that advancements in neural augmentation efforts(like Neuralink) might be the most productive route to understanding brain dysfunction mapping?
i used to be into spooky occult things, but as i got older i ended up getting more into psychedelics. a lifelong struggle to amend a problematic childhood. 🙏

I have occasionally suffered from this. It's absolutely horrifying, these hauntings produced from some dark place within. And, I've always known they weren't real... But when the attacks are occurring, they might as well be - because I hear, feel, and smell them. This disorder has at times made my life Hell on Earth.
I have same problem. .
At least you knew it wasn't real. I actually thought I was haunted by a demon and didn't really open up about it.....when I did people would just reply that it's a nightmare to which I'd argue that I'm awake, etc. once I finally did some research and found that I was suffering from sleep paralysis, it happened less and although it's still scary, it isn't as terrifying.
I see you had audio....I usually didn't have audio episodes, but the one time it happened, it scared the crap out of me...actually that episode led me to talk to friends and research it. In short, it was repeating things like "Die, kill yourself!"
People actually strive to achieve that state of mind, to be in a more mindful space. The reason you're experiencing an unpleasant experience is because the first thing that consumes you is FEAR. You must learn to overcome this, to have what you may consider a curse into a blessing. To cut your journey short, understand your dreams are a reflection of your spirit.
Once you stop being afraid you can leave your body and do all kinds of shyt. The shadow people don’t appear to you either for some reason.
I get this from astral projection, imagine floating up ward
I experienced this a lot growing up but less now as an adult. It usually happens if you are groggy and napping during the daytime. It is a frightening and frustrating experience as you are completely paralyzed and unable to move but aware that you are in a state of half awake and half asleep. You can hear voices of people in the house but to them you are asleep. You try to move a finger or force yourself to fall off of the bed or sofa to wake up. I usually break the paralysis by concentrating really hard on waking up and moving a pinky. It feels like 30 minutes or longer but it is not. Sometimes you are unable to break paralysis and will end up back in REM deep sleep because you are too tired to fight it.
You can do a lot more then that. You can leave your body if you want. I always worry about the shadow people taking over my body though. I threw a punch at one once and i haven’t seen one for over a decade now. They used to drag me out of my bed and whisper weird stuff to me.
Same experience with me
I'm experiencing it during my adulthood and almost never in the past except one time I had bad UTI fever when I was 13 or so any thoughts why?
When this happens so u hallucinzte
@@KeyserSoze-mw9kmwhat the actual fuck did I just read
This happened to me once 30 years ago. I was shocked awake by a sense that someone had jumped on top of me, pinning me to the bed. I couldn't move a muscle, I was struggling to breathe, and the feeling of a malevolent presence was very strong. It lasted about a minute and then the weight was suddenly gone along with the feeling of another presence. It was a truly horrible experience.
Once, 30years ago! Ur lucky, i get it almost every night. It's hell , like tripping on some delirium
@nisharoka Once was bad enough for me! You have my heartfelt sympathy for having it so often. 😢 Does it become even slightly less horrific with experience? Or is it just as bad every time?
@@nisharokanot every night but definately episodes where I can have it consecutively for days, then a week later can come back. Yeah it’s definately scary…

I had once too at age 13 couldnt move but eyes open saw that shadow thing tried to strangle me i named god it left in fog never had again sleeping paralysis and my uncle had buyed a haunted house we got a priest sleeped in hotel in that haunted house i had the sleeping paralysis some call it man with hat hatman kikimora night hag aliens incubus succubus so it has many names over the Globus
Sleep paralysis is so frightening, but somehow, knowing the (possible) neuroscience behind it makes it sound less scary
Right
I want to get it again 😂😂 I've had a so many times I'm now aware of it every time it occurs, it still scary through.. people say you can lucid dream but haven't experienced that yet

@lelskiiii19 I've also had it so many times, just try your best to make small movements in your finger tips
@lelskiiii19 same bro it happened to me two days i decided to take a nap during the day in my room and it was bright. I thought I had woke up as as I could see my bright room and my ceiling clearly, I could hear my brother and my mum talking in the room beside me. As I tried to get up I realised I was paralysed and this created an unexplainable sense of fear. I started to feel like i couldn’t breathe properly.

I was severely traumatized years ago as a teenage, got diagnosed with cptsd. Spent my whole life fighting cptsd. Not until my husband recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

@@waitwhat7164 Druggies though, they're predictable.
I experience this a few times a week. I don’t have visual hallucinations, but I get auditory and tactile ones. I can usually “feel” things on top of me, or grabbing at me, and I can “hear” voices or things rustling around me. It feels like my heart rate is going crazy, and my whole body is vibrating. I usually have to concentrate really hard on waking up, and will try to move my hand. Truly a horrible experience
i have this too but i have narcolepsy
Me to I don't see stuff but I feel a evil presence as if there breathing in my ear it's fkg horrible If I sleep on my back on the couch I will definitely slip into paralysis I'm actually scared to go to sleep because of it
I have this but I can choose to control or not control my body I can also choose to go to my dream and it was hard to control at first but I can choose to either control my real body and become awake or my dream body which feels just like my real body go to kind of like a half sleep state where I can dream but also acknowledge that I am in a dream giving me full controll of my dream
See if you can have a sleep study done. I no longer experience SP since I started wearing a cpap. Your symptoms were exactly like mine. It's causing stress to your heart and you might even start to experience short term memory issues. If you dream that you're underwater and can't breathe, or you have gum stuck down your throat, that's your subconscious telling you that you are having an apnea during sleep.
Hi! I'm a neuroscience phd student and I love your videos!! They're super helpful and not time consuming. Thank you for your efforts
Wanna ask you a question while this is still fresh.
So i think i can frequently recreate sleep paralysis (self proclaimed) by intentionally keeping my self as conscious as possible when i am extremely sleepy.
This cannot always happen it has to be during midnight.
So before i am able to fall back to sleep if i force my consciousness to be around i will enter sleep paralysis. At this point i can be totally awake, not feeling sleepy but i just cant move. Is this SP?
I am also not seeing ghost but i just cant move. I either fall asleep as is, or force myself extremely hard to break it, usually in less than what feels like 30 seconds. I cant always break it sometimes i will just stay paralyzed so i just fall back asleep just so ghost image wont start appearing.
Usually ghost only appears in unintended SP (after i wake up from a long time sleep) for me, if i force myself into SP, i wont see any ghost (this is induced SP shortly after i wake up midnight, and force myself to be conscious while feeling sleepy)
Please lmk if any of this sound logical
@@Hi_howrudoin Hi
To avoid sleep paralysis don't sleep on your back.
I get it mostly when I sleep on my stomach or my back. Never get it when I sleep on my sides.
It really dosent matter I get it while sleeping on my side
CORRECT!! It is actually demonic - there is something about being open laying on your back and closed spiritually when your on your front - Plus I repeat the name of Jesus when its happening, again again say the name Jesus and you will slowly you wake up - it always worked for me and its stopped - You have nothing to lose so you should try it - thats if your on your back
we live in a spiritual world, no one talks about this truth
@@rubspriceeBut it is less scary when we sleep sideway.
@@anshikayadavbhs9802 not for me it's terrifying
In elementary school I was bullied to the point of considering any way out, also I was experiencing Sleep Paralysis episodes nearly every night.
I was about 14 years old and I hadn't told anybody about that at the time, I didn't really trust anybody back then.
My first experience was such a trauma that it happened for a few more nights. I woke up, couldn't move, breathing was hard and I saw a dark figure that faded to nothing in that dark room, I tried to look up and I remember it appearing on my chest and directly looking into my eyes from a very close distance.
I knew that it should not be possible to experience such similar situations night by night, I thought i was the one that induced it by being afraid of the episode happening again.
Eventually, I tried to interact with the "creature" and when I figured out how to make it "talk" by just thinking about it, was such a strange experience, scary and exciting at the same time,
shortly after the first few words I recover.
About 6 years ago i left that school and continued my studies elsewhere, the problem seems to be solved and i did not experience any episodes randomly, but I can still induce one If I am subject to high levels of stress but almost every night, I have Lucid dreams and as soon as i wake up, I have a recollection of what i was dreaming about.
This just happened to me and I had the need to investigate this because it is the second time it has happened to me. The first time was too scary, I couldn't move, I felt a terrible weight on me as if they were sinking me into the bed and I felt that someone was watching me even though no one was in the room. And now the sensation was different because I was lying on my back. I didn't feel the weight on me, but I heard whispers as if someone was speaking very softly and the sounds were getting closer to me. I heard it twice and looked at my window thinking it was a sound from outside, but it felt very close to me. It scared me a lot because I didn't want to feel like that for as long as it happened the first time, so I tried to say the name of God and I said Jesus and although I couldn't move I did have the sensation that my lips were moving and in a few seconds I was able to move completely. It's amazing that just doing that woke me up so quickly and I wanted to share it with you. Thank you for reading.
I had one of my more extreme episodes a minute ago on-and-off right after I had a dream so I knew what was happening to me. I can’t even count the times I’ve had it, it’s been continuous for years and sometimes I can go over a month without it then get it consecutive nights in a row or multiple times in one day. Generally if I am disturbed in some way or THINK about getting it gets me my highest chances.
I think I may need to see a doctor 😂😅
@@SQUID10boyit can be Removed but Spirutually definitely
Guys do any of you experience hallucinations during these episodes?
I too have had that. I always sleep on my back and it was always whispers but it got so bad that I couldn’t even say Jesus. I couldn’t move at all and the whispers started to say things like I’m going to kill you. Eventually I saw the thing in my room to the right of me. The aura it gives off is what I think paralyzes you. It filled me with dread and terror and I genuinely thought I was going to die but I can never truly convey to someone who hasn’t experienced it themselves, what it really feels like. It eventually spoke its name to me but I don’t remember it anymore and I couldn’t find it online back then. The first time it happened, I ran out of my house down the street and stood there while I tried to figure out what to do. I was 19 at the time and in a very dark place. Once I started taking adderrall is when it went away.
Surprisingly, I have not felt paralyzed since I commented here. I've abandoned my penchant for scary movies and violent video games like Call of Duty. Embracing prayer at least twice a week has become a newfound source of solace, drawing me closer to God. While medications may be beneficial for some, my remedy has been this spiritual shift. I share my experience in the hope that others may find inspiration to explore alternative paths toward well-being.
My therapist told me to say out loud before bed “I am going to sleep well and have good dreams and no sleep paralysis. I am going to wake up happy and energized. I am going to sleep peacefully.” I thought it was dumb so it took awhile for me to do it eventually I was so desperate I tried it and the sleep paralysis finally stopped. Antidepressants can help too
Its actually demonic - so repeat the name of Jesus when its happening again again and slowly you wake up - it always works for me - secret -plus if you sleep on your front you will not get sleep paralysis - if you sleep on your front when you nap you won't get it
I’ve experienced this so much that I’m now aware it’s happening and can snap out of it. The fear is gone though
I’ve had this off and on for the last two years. Im lucky in that my hallucinations are always pretty mundane rather than supernatural. The amount of times I’ve hallucinated a conversation between me and my mom and not known upon waking whether it had actually happened or not…

as someone who've had a lot of sleep paralysis, here is the cure!
step 1. close your eyes back
step 2. breath in deeply then breath out
step 3. repeat step 2
step 4. when you know the timing of your own breath, open your eyes super quickly while breathing out heavily!
step 5. (if you know its sleep paralysis, just laugh it out lol) think of "not this shit again lol".
your welcome!
I have this a lot and after going through it so many times I've learned that the more you try to fight it and get out of it the more stuck you become. All I can really do is focus on breathing and start with trying to move your fingers and toes and as soon as you start to feel yourself getting out of it don't try to get up fast because it will just start all over. Stay calm and very slowly keep moving your fingers until it feels like the weight on your chest is completely gone before getting up and changing sleeping positions.
Oh man, I am suffering because of it. I want to move my body, but I cannot hear the sounds around me, and I feel pain in my head like electricity. When I wake up, I fall asleep again, and it repeats itself again, and I wake up and fall asleep, and it repeats itself until I no longer want to sleep.
I think everyone shoud be taught what sleep paralysis is and how to quickly recognize it. When it happens the first time and you don't know what's happening, its terrifying. However, when you know what it is and relax into it, it's an incredible experience.
It's a free dmt trip
@Zethos next time you'll enjoy it. For sure
I only ever experienced sleep paralysis once, and it was at a friend's house.
I had an auditory hallucination and heard a terrifying demonic voice keep saying blood...blood... blood. It was every 5-10 seconds and sounded like it was in the next room getting closer and closer to me. I was able to look around but it felt like a blanket was overtop of me and my body was asleep.
I tried so hard to get up and managed to sit up a few inches. I tried again as hard as I could and sat up probably about 6-12 inches then made a loud groan which was actually hilarious. That groan, combined with falling about 6-12 inches, woke up my body and I was about to move again, I laughed at the sound I made and just went back to sleep.
I knew what sleep paralysis was at that time but was still truly afraid when it happened. It was like a sense of dread washed over me when woke up and looked around but felt my body was asleep and could still hear everything around me, and then that creepy voice sealed the deal. I couldn't imagine experiencing that as a kid and not knowing what it is! That would give me nightmares for months!
Anyway, the next day I told my friends about my sleep paralysis and reenacted what happened to me and they died laughing 😂
I was sleeping in their livingroom on a futon couch they had, and if someone were to walk past me at that time, they would have probably thought I was posessed!
The weird thing was we bought a Ouija board the time before that when I stayed over previously, but never used it and idk where they put it but maybe I was almost attacked that night by a ghostie 👻
Dang that was a long comment, my bad!
@@426F6F Haha. That is a bit creepy about the Ouija board. Who knows...
I had a similar one with something approaching me and holding me down and another time where I could hear a child screaming like it was being murdered in the next room. It was so realistic how it sounded perfectly like it was muffled through the walls and coming from a particular room to my right. Crazy shit
First time when I had sleep paralysis, I got so afraid but then researched about it and it never came since then but today I experienced it one more time and I came to know what was common in that time and today's time.
I have a habit of covering myself with sheets.But today and that day I was sleeping without any cover.. And it only comes whenever I sleep alone.. So I have reached to conclusion that I can avoid it.
And one more thing when today I got sleep paralysis I was sleeping sideways.. So there was no demon, not any voice.. And I only had one thing in my mind.. Move, move yourself.. Get the hell out of this state.. You can do it.. No one can make me afraid.. I also realized no matter how much I moved.. There was not even an inch difference but then also I believed myself, kept trying and fell into deep sleep again and when I woke up I felt so refreshed.
Exactly so iam. I thought it first my soul leaving my body or is it like demon, I tried very hard 😮💨 but in my case I did move and wake up then covered my bed sheet. My grandma said its a demon sometimes come, but I got it now what it is actually 🤯.
This constantly happened to me for the first few months after I became homeless. I didn't experience the feeling of dark creator-like objects or pressure on my chest, but I definitely was awake and unable to move for a few seconds/minutes. The sleep paralysis stopped when I began sleeping on top of roof tops or underneath bridge ledges, places where I felt I could rest without being interrupted.
secret - if you sleep on your front you will not get sleep paralysis - its actually spiritual - if you sleep on your front when you nap you won't get it
@@BlueRose-k5dOk. I'm really a-sleep- on-stomach type, but I'll try it.
@@BlueRose-k5dhow do I sleep on my front? Like on my stomach?
@@esmeraldmusaku1017 correct, sleep on your stomach with your head obviously facing either side. Let me know what happens, I’ve never had it like that
I experience this a lot. It’s not really scary at all to me. I can usually break myself out of it by concentrating on moving my head. You start by slowly rocking your head from side to side. Once you have a little bit of momentum you whip your head like you’re trying to flip your hair. If you do that hard enough it snaps you out of it. I just don’t have the balls to allow myself to go back to sleep with the dark shapes and weird noises. So I always wake myself up and re-fall asleep.
This happens to me very often. I imagine it’s because of my random wake and sleep times. I am a Paramedic and don’t really have the best sleep schedule. It’s part of the job though.
It's a natural thing. Your brain cease your body's ability to move to prevent sleep walking. And to talk, so that you don't speak out your dreams.
However there are two things that the brain doesn't paralyse. The eyes and the diaphram. This is why your eyes can still move when you are asleep and dreaming. You are also able to breathe. If you open your eyes, you will hallucinate, so it's better to keep them closed. There is also nothing on top of you, but because you are aware, you are able to sense your body's weight plus your inability to move, it feels as though there is something on you, but there is actually nothing.
Oh dang a scientific explanation that makes sense, thank you good sir
What about scratching bite marks or strangle mark around neck or than the eyes are open seeing a shadow person that happend to me
I mentioned god it left in fog force hallucination it harms you physical
Had this many times but was never able to open my eyes.
I couldn’t open my eyes. I didn’t hear anything either. I remember telling myself 3,2,1 MOVE! And I was up 😂
This is something I get regularly. I used to get it every night, but nowadays I get it every 2-4 days. If this info helps at all I also get a lot of Lucid dreams and nightmares. I also tend to be more tired on days that I get more sleep. I do also have some mental issues that I'm going through and on weeks where it's worse I tend to have more sleep paralysis. Hope that info helps anyone.

I get sleep paralysis very rarely maybe once every 3 months but the experience is absolutely terrifying, I hallucinate and see things I would usually see in dreams, Its the feeling of no matter how hard you try you can not lift your body up.
I’ve been experiencing this more frequently. Like three times in the past two weeks. I’ve been unable to open my eyes during these ‘episodes’ no matter how hard I try and can’t move a single muscle. I try to shout out to my family, and in these episodes I sometimes think I manage to let out a really quiet cry, but I have no idea if I actually manage it.
In my most recent one (this afternoon), I couldn’t open my eyes but I could sense that there was two dogs in my room. I knew this was wrong because we only have one dog. Then I felt teeth around both of my hands and no matter how much I tried to shake them off I couldn’t move them.
Yay!
I get this many many times a month upwards to multiple times a week. I am one of the lucky ones that does not experience hallucinations, but I do experience major anxiety and ears ringing during the experience and immense drowsiness after the experience.
I think something that's overlooked is the link between hallucinations and ongoing trauma/stress - just speaking from personal experience.
I'm think the same because mine were very demonic and it's from reading the bible.
Yep. Many many times I've experienced this. I took the time to try and figure it out. The sensation of having something or someone on your chest... that's not the best description. I know exactly what that is. It's the fact that you're in a panic... and even though your heart might be racing (or at least it SHOULD be from your point of view), you're rate of breathing remains as it does in your sleep. When you want to scream but have no control of your breath, that's a problem and it severely compounds the overall sense of horror. I could never open my eyes, or speak, or move... unless I concentrated for all I was worth. Once I could move just a bit (like when you twitch from a dream), then I'd wake. And ya, you CAN learn to control it "from the inside"... if you can calm down, just come up with a scenario and let your mind take over. Invent your own dream... and it works. Then all of a sudden your waking up hours later. Unfortunately, it had to happen almost nightly for me to get ahead of it. But, once I did it was no longer anything to fear. In fact, I enjoyed it.
That wasn’t sleep paralysis. That was a spiritual encounter. I despise how these “specialists” want us to think otherwise with word salads. It just happened to me 30 minutes ago. I stayed calm and did not react. Just laid still and aware. It kissed / brushed my lips and departed.
@@PassportDialectic meh... never once encountered or even thought I encountered another entity. It was completely physical right down to being able to hear everything going on around me.
Useful info, especially the breathing issues, thank u. I force myself to be thrown out of bed & then make a big effort to sleep walk to the toilet. The next big challenge is not falling back into freeze mode in bed, but going to make a hot drink / coffee, which really helps overcome the forced breathing and wheezy issues. Then I’m often scared to go back to sleep.
craziest experience of today, i went to bed at 3:30 and some time around then i was listening to ASMR and closed my eyes. I froze and couldnt move then i heard some giberish being whispered into my ear like some demon language or something i could faintly hear the video then. It started and i was concious becuase i knew what this was, my legs were stuck and i couldnt move them and i forced my self to close my eyes becuase i opened it once and its like a zoomed out FOV like in minecraft. And i saw a small dark figure like a goblin or somethjing and i shut my eyes. and then i started to scream for help for my parents in the next room i thought they could hear me but i guess not. i was screeming and my voice sounded distorted and muffled. I forced my eyes shut again and then i woke up. Maybe it was a nightmare or something and i was stressing out 2 hours before. Thanks for reading and sorry for the spelling mistakes.
When this usually happens to me its when I'm in physical pain after a long day,like walking a lot in a theme park or something.at first it's a regular dream but it escalates when something happens.ive always had a strong will but it is still hard to get out of them to this day.every time I move in this state,a chill goes down my spine,10x worse then the wiggle you get when you pee,but this happens every time I move. Everytime I move the shock/chill that goes down my spine is painful.im thinking of writing a book or something on fictional "or real"people in my brain that don't like it when I talk back to them because they don't know when your lucid dreaming. It is real,never tell someone your in a dream,in a dream,because they will swipe you away and torture you like they did to me.a blue guy in suspenders and a sun dude and a short white boy with sort black hair are common occurrences.
prazosin worked for me. vivid dreams, feeling things crawling around in my bed, stuck between states.... dont really miss them at all, but some of those vivid dreams were WILD

just experienced sleep paralysis. while i was facing it, the period was frightening. i was trying to wake up from lying by leaning sideways (just a typical way of waking up) but couldn't. i was like i was glitched. half of the movement was made and finally instead of being in seating position, i got myself again lying. reapeated 2-3 times then it got frightening. i felt dizzy lying there. then suddenly my vision got clearer. i was able to look the environment and feel the surrounding, but still it was not as clear as we normally see the world. after i saw the change in vision, i was relieved the okay now i am fine. i tried moving my leg, and it moved!!! wow. then i woke up and i realized that it was sleep paralysis, a term that i was previously familiar with but today got to experience it. Although it was frightening, the experience was so wholesome and i enjoyed it. i had a smile in the face and whispered to my self, "wow maja aayo" (in english it translates to "wow that was fun")
“Important: If you’re frequently experiencing sleep paralysis, take this seriously. Don’t try to move when it happens. Instead, focus on closing your eyes. This method can make it much easier for you to wake up faster. Stay safe!”
It happened to me again today during a nap in the morning, but this time was different I did not felt the weight of something. I felt like a was falling so rapidly it was so scary. I fought so hard to move that I felt exhausted and just gave up, after an eternity in my mind finally I woke up completely.
I used to get it a lot when I was dealing with PTSD. If you get this occuring more often and you experienced something traumatic, get therapy. I didnt go for 3 years and had to deal with every night, a 50 50 of either very realistic dreams about life (escaping real life) or had very bad sleep paralysis.
I have learned that if you struggle with sleep paralysis, however terrified you are, it helps to walk around the house after you woke up. Check every room.. see that theyre empty and not scary (preferably with a pet).. and do that every time you wake up from it. Itll calm you down during the upcoming paralysis, and be more aware of when it happens.
For me it lessened(idk) through time.
Its one of the most awful sensations ever, sometimes you cant even breathe, you can be fully aware and you somehow try to beg for help and you try to scream but in reality you are just moaning hoping someone can hear you and wake you up. Last time it happened to me I thought I was going to die, no joke
Sadly I experienced this and woke everyone up 1-2am in the morning yelling… thought someone was watching me standing by the door and I couldn’t move lol scary what our minds can do this to us.

I started getting SP when I was a kid, which led to sedative/alcohol abuse in high school. I had to quit everything when I was pregnant, and my episodes were so bad I couldn't sleep at all. They would happen riiiight as I was falling asleep, and I'd have to wake up. They initially thought I had {?} post-withdrawal syndrome {?}, and then they blamed the stress of having 2 babies. No one would listen to me that this had been a lifelong problem. My dad and brother also have it. Finally in 2007 I got hospitalized because I was was awake for so long my body shut down. They put me on Ambien, which miraculously stopped the episodes and helped me sleep, and scheduled me for an intake at a sleep clinic to see if I had apnea. Long story short, after 2 tests I was diagnosed with Recurrent Isolated Sleep Paralysis, which means I don't have any disorder causing it. The doctor said I just have "bad sleep architecture", and also that being a back-sleeper was triggering my episodes. I went though Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which was immensely helpful, and trained myself {mostly} not to sleep on my back. From what I was told, back sleeping, sleep deprivation, and stress are the trifecta triggers that almost guarantee an episode 😕
I remember having my first paralysis when I was around 11 years old, my big sister was baby sitting me at the time and I was screaming her name but without sound, for like 10+ mins straight, couldn't move a muscle, couldn't do anything, etc seeing this tall guy, demon, whatever the hell it was just standing, looking at me like he was about to kill me or something, I eventually "woke up" in dripping in sweat and I yelled after my sister, she came storming in and asked what happened, I told her and she just took me to her room, fell asleep like 10 mins later, it was one of the most scary things i've ever encountered.

Take my word for it... it's frightening, even when you know whats happening.
I suffer from this from time to time, I stil don’t realize if stress/tiredness factors are factors for me. One thing I observed that were common in all of them is having one member (arm, leg, etc.) being “stuck”, e.g.: sleeping over my arm, putting my feet between the desk and wall if sleeping in the office, etc.
Today was the first time I felt most in control of the situation, the only issue was I felt like I was going to flip backwards on my chair lol, but I realized right away that was a sleep paralysis.

Been having these issues for around 4 years since covid in 2020 & then a massive dog attack from behind in 2022. Very bored of it now! Often I miss a morning off my life & a whole day off work as so disoriented and have depersonalisation. Lots of head pressure and ear popping. Some happy places in knowing deeper the meaning of consciousness.
When this happens to me around once a week it is TERRIFYING. The suffocating is 1,000,000 % on point as well as the hallucinations.

Sleep paralysis is awesome. I've had it chronically for years. It allows me to start lucid dreaming because instead of panicking, I relax.

Don't sleep on your back, don't do it.
I experience sleep paralysis very frequently and I’m watching this video right now bc I’m so sleepy but every time I attempt to fall asleep I keep having sleep paralysis. I remember first having it freshman year of high school, since then it hasn’t gone away.
I suffer from this 2-3 times a week! The scary stuff eventually goes away because you know what it’s happening. The only horrors are trying to get yourself to wake up. The best way is to trying to move my toes first then leg. I’ve fallen off the side of the bed many times from trying to wake myself up and the worst ones are when your on your back because it feels like your choking.
Had this regularly as a teen. It started after I tried lucid dreaming for a while (don't know if it was related). Was scary as hell. I ended up finding out that if I ignore it and don't try to wake up, it vanishes quickly. It became way less scary and eventually never happened again.
it happened again yesterday after ages, most terrifying experience ever.
Have suffered from this since childhood.the pain is horrible
Pain?
@@MNWildFan57 yes i exp pain in neck area
@@Pixietink that doesn’t seem related to sleep paralysis

Wouldn’t say it’s pain, but it does feel like total shit, and for like 1 or 2 mins, you’re just stuck looking around your room and wall feeling like shit and can’t move your head and body, I dunno the feeling sucks, but of course I’ve had worse pain, not trying to sound like a badass or anything
I just went through this situation 30 minutes ago And I felt as if someone was above my head. I was not able to move my body even if I wanted to. And I also felt some noise as if someone was above my head. It was a very scary experience.

I've had so many episodes of sleep paralysis even if i wake up, i feel so sleepy that sometimes i would fall back to sleep, i think i could die if i didn't wake up, i would pull myself up and wet my head to make me feel awake, it's so hard, it's terrifying, sometimes i could tell I'm going to have an episode even before i fell asleep
I have been experiencing sleep paralysis frequently & trust me keeping the music on from your phone or any device the whole time prevents it from happening.
Yes ! I do the same !
its absolutely horrifying. A lady just jumped in front of me, i close my eyes, and i felt her breath while she was saying "look at me"
Its really really scary sometimes i cant even go back to my sleep cos am afraid i wont wake up again.
Just had this happen to me last night but I was somehow able to know what was happening and that helped me calm down and just wait for it to stop. Still it’s terrifying.
i am all right with it as long as they dont talk near my ear thats kinda annoying

I was thrilled when I watched a documentary on this. I thought I was going crazy. I suffer from this
I got this since i meditate every day. You can move if you focus to escape this state
I suffer with SP. Just had an episode 2 mins before watching this. But I've never been able to open my eyes when it happens. I can hear everything around me like the youtube video I was just watching as I fell asleep but can't move or open eyes. For anyone that's never experienced it, it's scary at first as you're paralysed but conscious. Trying to move but can't. Luckily it only lasts maybe 10 seconds but feels like a lifetime.
Happened to me for the first time the other day. Woke up and thought I was paralyzed. Felt a crazy rush of immense fear and anxiety. Scariest shit ever.
I’ve had this for like 15 years. I can astral project and look at my body from the ceiling and move around as like an energy cloud. Science doesn’t really explain all that and it doesn’t explain what the shadow people are that almost everyone sees at least once.
neurology can explain both of those phenomen, and there are various, credible hypotheses that provide logical insight into the cause of both the perception of "shadowy figures" and out-of-body experiences. you simply haven't looked in the right places.

@@iammazen 100 %. Space doesn’t’ t allow here - it’s all easily accessed. Astral -projection = atonia (paralysis to prevent hurting yourself or someone else during REM sleep), which means loss of bodily perception of the body, which is experienced as floating as you know longer feel the pressure of gravity, bedding etc. And shadow people - we’re like a kid with a fever in a dark room, so a coat becomes a moving figure etc. as we have REM activity while in a conscious state.
Who is coming after sleep paralysis
I had my first experience this moring. I am 21 years old and as i already know about sleep paralysis and what happenes i didn't panic. I was terrified and my heart rate increased but I assured myself this will end soon. I was sleeping on my back with my right arm on my forehead. I couldnt move but i had this electric feeling as if like i was a machine or if something electric just weighed on me. There was a strange buzzing noice too. Every inch of my body wanted to react to it but couldn't. I saw a shadow looming over me not clearly but i did, i could close my eyes . So i closed my eyes and waited.

I also get this buzzing /vibration as a sign in that SP could on its way. It’s like the fuzz/buzz of a childhood fever.
sleeping paralysis might be scary but please know you're not alone and it's not that terrifying when you know what is happening. it's normal. ❤
Okay. I need to get it out via TH-cam because it's 2am and I'm freaked out. I've struggled with sleep paralysis before during times of trauma / depression. It's just been a little over 1 year since I've had one. Last semester a friend of mine had a tonic clonic seizure that I witnessed / called the ambulance for. I guess with finals / summer my brain just stuffed it down and didn't process it. Tonight I was caught in a 3 cycle loop. I dreamt I was walking around campus, in a dark moody atmosphere and my facial expressions mimicked hers. I felt my body distort similar to a demonic force taking over me. It felt like hell, and I kept thinking what is happening and why I keep coming back here. It was so painful. Anyways. Google/ videos like this help. The brain is crazy, and would love to get some real rest 😮💨

I've suffered sleep paralysis for over 3 years now. The first time I had a episode was so frightening, I felt like I was gonna die. Now it's nothing and I do not fear it at all. I did find a way to prevent it however usually when I'm bored whilst going to sleep I purposely let it happen so I can watch the show. To prevent it you have to sleep on your side, not your back. Apparently sleeping on your back prevents it much more. This method works for me, too. I'm still kind of scared when I get sleep paralysis since the latest time I've got one 3 weeks ago, and 2 days I think one of the hallucinations walked up to me and jumped on my chest 😳 I immediately opened my eyes because I was relaxing and then boom i felt the pressure of something or someone standing on my chest, opening up my eyes to finding some tall pale man on my chest. After a few seconds it got out luckily. I really thought I was gonna die. I am never gonna experience this again... it's scary even after 3 years of experience..😫
@@VNLEntertainm1nt yeah I hear slight wiggle to the fingers or toes is the best way to regain the strength to come out of it. So that's what I've been trying
@@mgmegt5920 I have too and it has worked, but not recently...
Living with it for 20+ years, usually get it atleast once a month sometimes more but we still here and still fighting the bad djinns. Dead awake is a pretty cool movie about sleep paralysis btw worth a watch
I get this all the time and it’s quite different from the way sleep paralysis is often explained. I cannot open my eyes and there are absolutely no ghostly/demonic hallucinations. Sometimes it happens to me during a dream/nightmare which usually manifests itself as me being paralyzed (stuck in a tiny claustrophobic space or smothered in something that’s incredibly heavy) or feeling too intoxicated (like being super drunk, but being fully aware of the mistakes you’re making) to move properly, like you’re uncontrollably stumbling everywhere until you finally fall and cant get up. If it happens in between sleeping and being awake, I have it sometimes happen at the point of going to sleep as well as at the point of waking up. I’m just stuck with my eyes closed trying to desperately move a limb enough to get the momentum to fall off the bed because I know that will wake me up… Although it never works. 😐
I don't have ghost/demon hallucinations either; just "urgent" things I have to wake up from, like my phone ringing or my sink being left on.
It is actually demonic what you are experiencing - so repeat the name of Jesus when its happening, again again say teh name Jesus and you will slowly you wake up - it always worked for me and its stopped - You have nothing to lose so you should try it
Plus secret -if you sleep on your front you will not get sleep paralysis - sleep on your front - when you nap you won't get it - you live in a spiritual world, no one talks about this truth
I suffered from this while listening to music and I was sweating so bad that when it stopped I cried
I dont know what I saw years ago is a sleep paralysis or not- I was sleeping on the top of a bunk bed and I woke up randomly at night. It wasnt pitch dark. Then I called out my youngest sister's name and asked her to bring me a glass of water (while I was doing this I didnt know why I was doing it- Like why would I call someone's name while my whole family is asleep??) Then someone entered from the door, it was my youngest sister but it was more like a black shadowy figure that looked like my sister and the figure had a faint green glow to it. It didnt have eyes or anything like that. It approached me and held to the side of my bunk bed. It didnt have a face but it was staring at me. I freak out, I still feel kind of scared when I remember it. I hid under my blanket and tried my best to hold my breath. I dont know how I fell back to sleep but yeah- Ive tried searching something about this but I couldnt really find anything that's the same as mine. I was able to move so it wasnt a sleep paralysis? One of my friends told me that it might have been an evil skinwalker because of the green aura and all. Idk man, it's weird
Sounds like an early state of awareness of an lucid dream bro mine wasn’t exactly the same i was in the dining room playing with a controller then I guess i got mad or something then i threw the controller down but it was orange and o noticed it was orange Ive never had a orange controller then i relized everything was very very slow and I said to myself it’s a dream an asoon as I said that my whole body feel backwards then i woke up with very loud ringing in my ears that type of stuff happens to me regularly when i don’t get enough sleep i know imma have sleep Paralysis or something sometimes i do it on purpose just to explore the human mind it’s amazing on how much we don’t know and i feel gifted that i can do ot whenever i want i just need to get very tired
I had this for years now and what’s helped me is just having my dog in my bed. Though sometimes I still see stuff, it’s never been really terrifying.
It’s when you realize you’re in sleep paralysis that you can leave your physical body and astral project. Instead of focusing on moving your body and fully waking, instead allow your body to remain in paralysis and instead, rise out of it
I have figured out that forcing yourself to stay awake late and then trying to sleep causes me to slip into paralysis. When I maintain a healthy sleep schedule I never have the issue. Otherwise when I’m up all night as late as 2am or later I’m almost guaranteed to have it hit me. Lately my wife and I have been up to feed our newborn baby throughout the night and at times it’ll hit me when I’m trying to go back to sleep in the early am. When it hits me I have all kinds of experiences such as seeing shadow monsters, I can hear ear-splitting screams in my ears, I’ll have out of body adventures where I’m running through endless corridors being chased by raging zombies, ill even hallucinate breaking out of it just to find out I’m still stuck and can’t move over and over again. Sleep paralysis is torcher. So just get to bed on time and let your mind rest. Cheers!
Whenever I have sleep paralysis I call in the name of Jesus, I dont have fear while I have the sleep paralysis episode, I feel so much better.. Honestly I haven't had it for a long time
I had sleep paralysis so so often before I converted into Islam. I think somehow it is connected to faith in god and weak spirituality to the point it attracts creations we call Jhins in islam. I praise Allah for stopping all my sleep paralysis
Don't worry much just pray and keep it up
i decided to take a nap during the day in my room and it was bright. I thought I had woke up as I could see my bright white room and my ceiling clearly, I could hear my brother and my mum talking in the room beside me. As I tried to get up I realised I was paralysed and this created an unexplainable sense of fear. I started trying to shout for help into the other room but it felt like I was shouting into a vacuum. Started feeling like i couldn’t breathe properly. I looked at my ceiling and demon faces started appearing. I felt a strange force that started to pull me down my bed from my feet but it didn’t feel like hands. The force was strong and overpowering and I felt useless. I ended up on the floor but the woke up to reality that it was a dream. Seriously scared to go to sleep incase this happens again.
Just had it a few minutes back and I realised what I experienced was sleep paralysis I am still shit scared but being a science girl, science always calms me down so I just came here to know about it and is feeling better knowing that i am not the only one to experience it and even if there is any evil spirit behind it I hope it wards off I renounce it! So that it never comes to me back again
I Had sleep paralysis from the age of 8 to 26 at one point i was able to start speaking thru it but not as clearly calling someone to wake me up still a wild experience everytime it happens
I suffered from this every 4th or 5th day, I don't know how to deal with this.. it has been 15 years but it go for 2 3 month and came back !! It's very very horrifying, normal people can't understand this never ever !!
I was definitely a spiritual entity. I despise how these “specialists” want us to think otherwise with word salads. It just happened to me 30 minutes ago. I stayed calm and did not react. Just laid still and aware. It kissed / brushed my lips and departed.
About the same amount people that have a cold at any one time (which is known to be 1/3 of the worlds population) is the same amount of people that have sleep paralysis. And it can last for hours when you keep thinking you've woken up but really haven't and are actually dreaming.
There is sleep paralysis where your wide awake and there's sleep paralysis in an actual dream and you can bounce back and forth unable to truly wake up for however long
I experienced this before, and i still remember it as a kid. it was hard to survive sleep paralysis, heres how it happened i was just watching a episode of garu and pucca [okay im a fan so dont judgei i liked it when i was a kid okay] after i watched it, My mom told me its bedtime, after that i started dreaming that i was garu running away from pucca in my house. after that i couldnt move while my brain was active i was thirsty at that time but i couldnt move while that was happening,but i forgot the rest of what happened but it was true. please dont sleep on ur back it happens to me alot, and this is just one out of many sleep paralysis
Last night I got a sleep paralysis someone jump one and saw shadow in my shoulder
Ive learned to keep my eyes closed when it happens and just wait for it to pass
I'm suffering from this continuously,, but when I got this very first time, i was just having a normal dream then suddenly a lady came to me and whispered my name and said come with me which boat will you choose to come,, ohh you are denying it then she literally came to my face and said deny it now.. I tried to wake up but I was not able to move after some minutes I came back in my sense... It was terrifying.. Then I searched about this,, and now I'm facing it 1-2 times a week..now the dreams are more horrifying I can't even tell.. But I think that it is because of sleeping schedule whenever I try to sleep in the morning or day time I get them.. And also I'm a overthinker so I don't sleep fast usually but when those dreams wants to come,, I get in sleep in 2 min and that's the plus point because I get to know that they are coming so I salp myself and try to wake me up so I don't get them because when you sleep in this shit this thing will happen with you again and again and you can't wake up easily because the sleep don't let you.. 😮💨
I have experienced this severally now. My hallucinations seem so real. One time i saw and felt someone wrestling me and today its like i was being sucked into a portal i think. It's so scary. The feeling that there's someone else in my room is also so real but for me although I'm aware my eyes never open its like my entire body shuts down while there's an entire war going on inside of me
I am on my 30s. And last night was the first time in my life for me to experience sleep paralysis. And its absolutely horrific. I thought i was about to die. Since i’ve heard so many things (peoples screaming, bell’s ringing, someone praying, etc) and every sounds and voices that i’ve heard feels like real. The worst part is i can understand every word that „this person” is praying for. Eventually i tried to get up. In my mind i was already standing still, but in reality i was still laying in bed💀💀
I have always been able to get out of a nightmare by holding my breath when I know I’m dreaming, but when I had this thing call it what you want, I saw everything in the room but like with a gray filter and a dark shadow thing came and picked me up, I tried holding my breath but nothing worked. It took me outside in the dark and I woke up all sweaty and traumatized
i just expereince this for the first time couple of days ago
41 years ago I had woke up and couldn't move my body. Thinking I heard my husband downstairs, I began calling for him. I could move my neck and my voice worked very well. My body was totally paralyzed. Never happened again
If someone goes through it say the name ofJesus again and again and again!! you will wake up. Trust me, its just demonic - it stopped once i did this when it happened - you wake up as you repeat the name of christ
I have these episodes every time i break sleep cycles, like take a nap in the day or something
It’s almost everytime when I’m laying on back. The craziest one was I heard hovering noises so I opened my eyes to see greys standing over me with my bed levitating and bright flashes moving my whole house to the sky yelling from the top of my lungs for Jesus and they disappeared but for years now i actually don’t know if was just tripping that I called out to god or if it’s all in my head.
I was plagued by SP very frequently from age 17 to age 36. It went away once I started using a cpap. The base of my tongue is enlarged so sleep apnea happens. The lack of O2 to the brain creates a similar effect as the hallucinations that fighter pilots have when they pull too many G's and pass out. It has something to do with the brain suddenly being unable to locate the body due to lack of oxygen. RadioLab had a hood episode on this phenomenon although it didn't include Sleep Paralysis.
Sleep paralysis can become less scary the better you understand it and more experienced you are. In fact it can even benefit you if you're wanting to lucid dream
i had sleep paralysis last week and it was very scary, i had it a couple times back then but this time it was way different, when i got sleep paralysis i obviously couldn’t move or talk but i also couldn’t open my eyes, (btw i was sleeping in my stomach) i didn’t even know i was having sleep paralysis until i found out that i couldn’t move and i was having a hard time breathing, but it was scary because i couldn’t open my eyes and i thought that i was dying in my sleep, in that moment i just said to myself “am i really gonna die here without no one even knowing?” i tried to open my mouth and scream for help but i couldn’t. i was just so scared and terrified that i was gonna die but i ended up waking up and i just started to breath in and out fast.
When i had sleep paralysis while my blaket was on my head
I always take a very deep breath whenever i experience this and it works wonders i dont know how.
I'm surprised you can control your breath in this state
I get it a couple times a week. It almost always happens when I’m falling asleep. Only occasionally do I wake up into it.
I just experienced this the other day, thankfully nothing horrifying. I was aware that I was sleeping/dreaming and tried my best to wake up but I really couldn't. I then tried to move my fingers and then pinched my stomach as hard as I could, that's when I finally woke up... it felt like I was able to breathe normally again. Experiencing this sucks a lot!!!

I’m only 15 and for the past few weeks there are times when I can’t move and breathe at night or early in the morning. I have to physically remember how to jerk my body awake so I can breathe and wake up. This can happen to me multiple times a day.
I had one episode years ago...it was an Encounter of the 'Third Kind'. 👽
I also suffer from serious insomnia/disruptive sleep after I was run over by a semi truck at 19 yrs old.
My guess is a traumatic shock to my hypothalamus as I've had hormonal disruption since.
Some Drs.think there's a connection between brain trauma and fibromyalgia based on a good amount of circumstantial evidence.
It occured to me that advancements in neural augmentation efforts(like Neuralink) might be the most productive route to understanding brain dysfunction mapping?
i used to be into spooky occult things, but as i got older i ended up getting more into psychedelics. a lifelong struggle to amend a problematic childhood. 🙏

Try moving/wriggling your toes and fingers, it helps you to wake up. It worked for me.
