    There's this process in the brain that essentially paralyses you while you sleep, when that doesn't work people sleepwalk. But when it happens and you're awake, your mind starts panicking because you can't move. Some people only hear things, others see or even feel things that aren't real. I've seen shadowy figures, one time even had some eldritch abomination jump on top of me and make this horrible sound. Turns out that was just my dog, snorting.

      It's our brain that needs sleep, not our body. And even then, the brain isn't exactly...sleeping. It just goes into MSDOS and does "stuff" which you then interpret as sleeping as a whole. Some people don't have the right programs installed or the operator isn't skilled enough and well, this happens.
      The brain is the most powerful computer ever observed...and we have nearly no clue into its deeper working past really basic stuff.

And I willed my arms to move and fought against their strength to back the spear out of my chest and then I threw all my will at them and they blew up into embers, while laughing. I woke up and my chest still hurt the rest of the next day.

    My episodes are usually more visual. My worst one was when I woke up on my side and I heard a sound coming from my door, which was behind me at the time. It sounded like a mix of horrendous screams, grunts and loud wind like a tornado. I was fully awake but the fear had me frozen. I then seen a bright light start enveloping my room as my door was opening and the screams and stuff got louder. After a few mins it stopped and my door was shut. I could move and I knew what it was even in the middle because I've had them so much but it really sucks. Even if you know it's fake and a hallucination you just cant NOT shit yourself in the moment lol. I'm not sure If mine are sleep paralysis because I can slightly move during them I'm just so scared that I dont want to.

      Mine is also visual, but less using the environment, and more actual hallucinations. I was once on my bunk, sleeping to some videos, when it hit. Could turn my head or anything as I heard clicking and saw a giant spider crawl down in front of my face. It then crawled off the side of my bed, and a white hand slowly grasped my guard rails. At this point I realized what was going on and closed my eyes to completely let sleep take me.

      My experience was extremely weird and scary.
      I was 7 at the time and was sleeping in my room. I woke up but I didn't. I can see but at the same time my eyes are closed. My whole body is frozen and I can't move. So I look around with my half opened eyes and suddenly I spotted a red man. He's just entirely red. I stared at him for awhile and then he duplicates. He keeps on multiplying until the room is nothing but faceless red mens. And the same as gura, I tried screaming but I couldn't. Luckily my mom wakes me up and it was all over.

    Fun fact, Sleep Paralysis (and the associated 'demons') are a side effect of unintentional consciousness while dreaming.
    See, when you're in a deep sleep your brainstem is affected by a chemical release that blocks bioelectrical signals. This normally wears off when returning to consciousness, but sometimes it's accidentally bypassed, leading to the temporary paralysis.
    As for the...things...you see, well most of your brain is in a dream state, and since that's controlled by your feelings, feeling scared brings out the scary monsters. If you 'go with it ' you can be calmer leading to not so scary hallucinations.
    Basically your dreaming up scary shit on accident because you're panicking over being paralysed.
    Personally, I've never experienced it. Sounds fun.

    I can't stress enough how important it is for folks experiencing similar episodes to discuss with your doctor about potential sleep apnea. Not getting oxygen is an extremely bad thing. It helps if you have someone else in the house that can observe your sleep for things like severe snoring, choking, and the like too. At the very least you can do an overnight recording. It can be very telling.

    Storytime:
    I'm not sure if this is actually sleep paralysis mainly cuz it was my first time expiriencing this kinda thing..
    Anyways, this happened like 2-ish years ago and I was sleepong on the sofa bed at my grandma's place (we live like next door to eachother) and I remember waking up one morning and everything was dim and I tried to move but I couldn't, I was lying on my belly with my head faceing toward the kitchen sink, then I saw what I could only describe was a Hellhound looking shadow thing just walking around the room, I paniced, tried to scream for help but nothing was coming out, the thing always walked near me but never did anything to me, like it was trying to check me if I was alive or something, then after what felt like a day, I fell asleep again and woke up soon after.
    I told my younger brothers this and they were creeped out about it, dont think I ever told anyone else tho....
    I dont know what caused this but I think it was cus we had lost a lot of our dogs at the time as well as some newborn pups that didnt make it and I was still depressed about that. then being a believer of the supernatural, I thought to myself "what if that Hellhound was one of our dogs' spirit that came by and checked to see if I was okay". I never had an experience like that afterwards, 'cept for some dreams that came close.

    • @wessltov

      Sleep paralysis often causes hallucinations (often dark, shadowy figures), as your still waking mind is reaching into every corner of your knowledge to think of a reason why you'd be unable to move/breathe.
      Of course, since you can't think of anything normal that could be restraining you (which, since you're partially awake, you would have been able to see and hear anyway), people's mind often jump to the supernatural of religion

    That is absolutely sleep paralysis. I've done some research on it for one of my classes in medical school. Usually, the sleeper is mostly awake but still partially dreaming, and hallucinates a shadow, demon, etc, pinning them to the bed. Some doctors think one thing that can trigger it is not sleeping much at nights. I think I remember Gura saying before that she usually sleeps about 4 hours a night, so that could definitely be part of what's going on.

      I almost always wake up facing down, so when I get paralysis it feels like I’m suffocating (which I was), so I made something up while my face is in a pillow. First I try to move my finger, until I actually can. Then I start to try to move my arm. After that I can pretty much move my entire body. But sleep paralysis happens when you’re alstroemerias, but your consciousness is awake. So your body stops itself from moving to prevent danger(like falling off the bed). So if you stop moving because you think you “fixed” it, don’t stop moving, because your body will go back to sleep. No matter how early I wake up I wake up because I hate that feeling of suffocating in memory foam

    My experiences with sleep paralysis are rather different from most. For one they never happened after waking up - I would just lay down and my body and brain would disagree on whether I was asleep or not - so no hallucinations or strange sensations, just extreme difficulty moving or speaking. Still terrifying, especially the last episode I had in which my mother nearly killed me - she didn't believe me when with all my might I squeaked out "can't move" and in a fit of rage flipped me face down into my pillow, nearly suffocating me. I will never forgive her for that.

    Man I remember when I lived at uni and woke up frozen but knew and heard something pacing in my room next to my bed and I just knew it was angry, was making some low guttural noises. went on for about an hour, was awful. Another one i felt a hand crawling up from my hand to my shoulder and again, it was no gentle or happy.

    I actually experienced two similar events to hers. When I moved into the place I’m in now, I was waiting for one of the housemates to move out and then I would have a room to live in, but for the meantime I slept on the couch. One night, I sort of just laid down to sleep earlier than usual because I was exhausted that day, and fell asleep in a way that I literally felt myself gradually fall transition into the state of being asleep. After this, I was basically sleeping like normal, unaware and all, when maybe thirty minutes later I woke up and quite simply could not move for maybe 30 seconds to a minute. I was not panicked and actually thought it was a move experience, but if I had seen a spooky boi I would prbably have felt different about the experience.
    The other one was basically the same as Gura’s second story. I woke up and couldn’t breathe for maybe a few seconds until I made the same ugly ass loud noise in an effort to wake my self up all the way.
    I feel like... maybe I am gura.

    I always thought sleep paralysis was super interresting, so i tried purposefully inducing it. When you are prepared for it, it isn't scary at all. It wasn't as strong as a regular episode though, and i didn't see any hallucinations, because my brain wasn't in a REM phase.
    I know it's kinda weird, but i hope that i can experience a real episode soon.

  • @Itsallover57

    It's just being in a state of half asleep. Your breathing is shallower than when you're awake and anyone that has slept on their arm terribly knows what its like to have it so asleep you can't use it at all, that's the pinning feeling. The "people" or shadows are the things/thoughts that were going through your head while you were asleep. I had this happen to me before, that's all it is. Just go back to sleep if it happens. It'll come a lot easier than you might think but if you don't freak out it's easy.

    I had a recent strange form of sleep paralysis I haven't experienced before. I have sleep paralysis maybe once every 6 months or so nowadays so not that bad, and usually not too scary besides a few incidents. The one I had recently was that I woke up and saw the left side of my bed, not too bad, but I only saw that still image. I guess maybe not sleep paralysis in fairness since I could move, or so I thought, but my eyes only saw the still image I saw when first waking up. I was worried I went blind for a bit since I only saw that, even after turning my head and trying to push up from my bed, still same image. Figured I'd share in case anyone was interested, I am alright now and was fine after what felt like 30 seconds when I actually woke up. May have just been a layered dream but it felt a little real comparatively.

At the end of the dream they reached out and touched my chest, and for an instant there was an electric buzzing sensation in my head and flash of light, and then I woke up.

My hallucination was a cat making horrible, otherworldly vomiting noises and it scared the shit out of me so bad I jolted awake. I’m pretty sure this happened because I was sleep deprived and super duper exhausted and stressed cuz it hasn’t happened again since.
