| when i was in middle school, i trained myself to be able to lucid dream, and a side effect of this was sleepwalking and sleep paralysis. i haven't had a case of sleep paralysis since then, but the other night it happened and made me wonder how many people have had it happen to them and what their experience is like. for me, someone asked me a question and then started laughing. i opened my eyes and felt but couldn't see a figure standing directly over me. the laughing kept getting louder, and when i tried to move i heard a screeching noise, and i wasn't able to move at all. |

| I had that many times in the past. It's one of the worst feelings ever. You're clearly awake, but you can see a horrible black shadow monster standing at the end of your bed, and it comes slowly closer and you can't move or make any noise at all. It's like being sucked into hell. This is what hell feels like. |
If life ain't just a joke Then why are we laughing? If life ain't just a joke Then why am I dead? |
| Yes It was terrifying I was calling out for help but couldn't say anything I use to have them a lot, but I havent had one in a year. |
| yes, I bet it's funny if you're looking at the person having it but experiencing it was damn scary. |
    |
| no, i havent and thanks god. it seems so terrifying. to anyone, who went through that. i got such a big respect for ya. could not imagine experiencing that. |

| I've waked up with a paralyzed hand a couple of times |

| I don't know if this counts as sleep paralysis because I didn't see any hallucinations or hear anything out of the ordinary, but when I was a kid I once woke up unable to move, open my eyes, or talk. I was aware I was awake but my eyelids and body just refused to move no matter how hard I tried, and that also meant I couldn't open my mouth to let out even the slightest sound. This went on for about a few minutes, I guess? Eventually I was able to move my body, starting with my feet. This only happened once but it spooked me so much as a kid lol |
  Even as we miss each other, always stay as you are Because I'll surely come and see you ♫♫♫ |
| fortunately i haven't experienced sleep paralysis. i hear the dreadful stories about it and it sounds horrible |
| I always experienced sleep paralysis and it was scary af.. waking up sweaty and can't even move or make a noise for help but I found out the trick. sleep while your head on the right/left position |

The last time it happened was 2 years ago, I was on the bus with my friend, I fell asleep and end up in sleep paralysis, my head fell on her shoulder, luckily I had already talked to her about this and she knew what was happening. |
| I experience it around every 3 months or so. Really spooky but I am used to it now. I learned to wiggle my toes to break me out of it. |

| im only 13, but its common for me to get sleep paralysis. i dont get nightmares but twice every week or so I'll experience it. its honestly frightening and I dont know why i get it so much. the noises in ur head gets louder and louder, and thats probably the scariest part for me. one time the "demon" sat on my hand so it could press harder onto my chest, its the worst 3 minutes of ur life |

| No, my nightmares are really unexplainable tho |
| Less than 8 percent of the general population experiences sleep paralysis - PennState I have experienced it before, this small guy was just infront of me and I couldn't do anything. |
| I have sleep paralysis quite often, It's not scary anymore and I have learned how to get out of it. |
 |
| Yes I couldn't move and a shadow demon was choking me, I could barely breathe |

| I've been here way too long... |
| Yes alot during lockdown, they then toned down when I started going to school. |
 just wanna feel wanted by someone other than the police 😫 |
| Yeah, the first time I experienced sleep paralysis, I thought I was dying or something. Spooky stuff. |

Ah ok phew, for a second I was worried I got cursed. Good to know it was just uncle Rondey molesting me. |

| No sleep paralysis and no for nightmares. |

| Few times semi-conscious but unable to move or get myself to fully awake felt like lasted a long time, family member also experiences it and claim they have blurry vision of a person near them sometimes, while is hard to believe but I once had glimpse of a cloudy figure shaped like person standing next to the bed my parents while I got to the bedroom trying to wake them from sleep paralysis struggle, but I immediate lost track of the figure as it blended into the background, kind of freaky because parents say they saw it before I woken them. Not really sure when but we stopped getting paralysis for maybe a decade now. |
| once or twice, wasn't that big of an odsrhfdhfgdhbz |
  |
| No, and I don't want to experience having it. Hope it won't ever happen to me. |

beanie_weeny said: sawdust337 said: no, but I often experience this feeling of falling down and fastly waking up thats something normal and happens to everyone bro. It's def not "normal" as it comes and goes here. Didn't have that happen to me regularly in almost a decade. However from 10 to 25, I'd sometimes kick out so hard thinking I was falling that I'd get massive cramps. Like, cramps you can't get any other way. Legs so hard they felt made of stone. And the pain... Woke up the whole house screaming a fair amount of time. |

| I have not but I know people who have and it seems scary but i still want to experience it first hand just to know what it feels like |
 |
| yes, i have experienced sleep paralysis. it was like a living hell. |
 |
| Is been months, but it used to happen frequently |

| Only once. I was about 3 years old. There was a photo of an eagle above my brothers bed and I had a sleep paralysis where it broke through my window and it was 10x bigger than myself. It was clawing into my upper back and cawing at me. The only thing I said to it was "no...?" and it flew off. I layed there in bed face down for what seemed like hours after it left. I had no idea that sleep paralysis was a thing at the time so I just brushed it off as a nightmare. |
| Yes I have, it's definitely one of the scariest shits I've ever gone through The last time I experimented it I think I literally saw the face of the devil himself |
| Yes I do, and I bloody hate it! I would sometimes wake up, unable to move, talk, not even being able to open my eyes for like 10 seconds before being able to move a limb and get out of it. It’s a pretty scary feeling really, it’s almost as is if you were going to be stuck paralysed forever with no one to help you get out of it. |
 |
| Thankfully I don't think I have. At least according to my memory |
 ManWild |
| No and I'm really glad that I never did |
| My cats sleep on top of me, this should ward off sleep paralysis... I think. |
| Once. It was a very unpleasant experience. |
 |
| Nah never have. Saw a shadow creature on my wall when I opened my eyes one night, but I was still able to fully move. |
 |
| No I haven't. I think certain sleeping positions affect it though. |

| Never. That would be scary. It would be really really weird. |
| I LICK POTATOES. O__O |
| Yeah, I have had that happen to me many times. |
 |
| Yes, sadly I have had it all my life. I never even knew what it was back when I was little, but I would would always wake up crying at night from it. Sometimes after dealing with it even as an adult I still feel like responding to it that way. XD |
