I don't know if anyone has ever heard of this but I've had it since I was very young. I made my mother take me to the doctor when I was about 13 and of course he chalked it up to a bad dream. If you've ever experienced it - IT IS NOT LIKE A DREAM.
I had no idea anyone else had this until the internet and I could look it up. I am not alone!
Experts say it is a form of sleep disorder related to narcolepsy. Paranormal types say it can be the beginning stages of out of body travel. I've always been too scared and too freaked out while I'm in it to think of anything else except to wake myself up NOW because I feel imminent death. It is accompanied by a humming, very strange vibration of the body feeling, the presence of a dark entity, pressure on my head like a vice and last year it progressed into being touched by something. The presence stayed a distance and started to come closer as I got older.
I tried so many things to get out of this; waiting it out (not possible); counting to three and using all my strenght to open my eyes and wake up (too weak most of the time); Visualizing Bright Light (worked OK but if you are out of practice with the visualization it's really hard) and once it takes hold it feels like I'm being pulled downward through the bed and I can't fight it - well until I found something that kind of works.
After watching the A&E show Paranormal State, I noticed how they get aggressive somtimes and command spirits to leave and get out or whatever - they go on the offensive. I've always been begging and scared while in the paralysis. So I tried just going all PMS rage pissed off aggressive and it works. I just start yelling at it in my head and trying to say it and really yell it but can't from the paralysis, but often come out of it yelling finally.
It's just a really weird and interesting thing to experience. I'm not as scared of it as I used to be but I also started to develop the "exploding head" syndrome too where right before you fall asleep, or for me, before I get sucked into sleep paralysis, I hear loud, and I mean LOUD noises...sometimes a bang, sometimes a crash. I've made mr. zig get up and check to see what happened before.
Just interested to know if anyone else has this weird affliction.
