Sleep Paralysis or similar

[The Original Muzza]

Any sufferers/experiences?

I get it on occassion. Usually just short paralysis accompanied by hallucinations of giant spiders or the like in front of me or on the ceiling. Once went absolutely mental when I could move again and Sarah recounted me jumping from the bed, shutting the door, swatting at the ceiling then checking under the bed/ behind curtains etc. She said I was most convincing I had seen a spider approx 1 foot wide and had her scared too.

Had a worse experience 2 nights ago though when I dreamt that I was getting jiggy with her, and then she suddenly grabbed my cock and balls and squeezed really hard in anger. Was in pain for a few seconds after waking and couldn't move to caress them. Should note that that time I was sleeping alone so no-one else grabbed my dick and then ran away laughing. Weird part was I had a semi when I could move again.

When I used to get really smashed I would often wake up in the night being unable to breath - couldn't work my lungs. That used to scare the shit out of me. Never went the docs so haven't a clue what the condition was.

Yup I get SP. I normally get it once I've been awake for a bit tho. Like awake for a few mins and then sometimes I can feel it sneaking up on me as I drift back to sleep. I can then choose to shake it off or just go with the flow.

I normally just choose to roll with it, it's something unusual so I just enjoy it. First time I got it was just after I woke up from a horrible dream where I was being crushed so I couldn't breathe. I woke up and after a few seconds I felt this horrible crushing force pin me down in real life freaked me out for a bit but I've learnt just to go with it.

I sort of get the "spiders", I sort of see rough spider shapes running round at warp speed on the ceiling in random directions like they are going berserk. Strangely first encountered them in a dream when I dreamt I was on drugs, then found the spiders in real life when on mushrooms, now still see the spiders in SP and occasionally just in the dark.

That waking up not breathing is called sleep apnea. Certain drugs do this to me..... Not fun especially when it appears you are trapped in a time loop

During stressful times my missus suffers from this.
The first time it happened we had moved into our flat one week before our tenency started, we weren't meant to but we had brought all of our stuff there and didnt fancy going home.
In the middle of the night she woke me up almost hyperventalating, she couldn't wake but her eyes were open....she had dreamt that the landlord had come in the front door, come to our room, switched the light on then left.
It totally freaked me out as i had been fast asleep, i had to check the flat and then after that she didn't sleep well.lol
Since then similar things have happened, usually on a Sunday where her head can't rest, must be pretty freaky.

I got a quick blast just last week, first in a long time, I was lying in bed and heard my girfriend leave for work, then I think the postman put something through my letterbox, and for some reason I had the feeling that someone was trying to get in, so I got out of bed to try to walk towards the hall, but it was like I was incredibly dizzy and couldn't walk straight, I stumbled into the hallway and looked around before being blasted off into some normal dream type stuff, though all along I was thinking "what the hell is going on here?".

Next thing I know I'm back in bed, and I hear the door going again, I go to get up again, but then I feel a presence behind me and a weight pressing down on my back, smothering me, I started trying to force myself up with all my strength but nothing was happening. Then I woke up for real.

This wouldn't be that interesting but for that fact that a few ago later my girlfriend decides to try to say goodbye an give me a kiss before she leaves for work. She had tried this previously by slowly pulling the cover off my head, but I'd woke up suprised and recoiled and cocked my fist back ready to deck something, so I said to her she prob shouldn't do that as next time there's a good chance I'd right hook her into next week. Now you can tell that she didn't listen, and this time she decided (in a logic that only a woman can process) to quickly rip the cover off me and get up close to me all as quick as possible in order not to disturb me.

What actually transpired was that I woke up with the covers over my head and felt a "presence in the room" and thought, shit, here we go again, next time I know the covers are ripped off me and all I see is a black figure coming right towards me getting up in my face (the room was dark). Que me screaming like I'm being murdered and scrambling to crawl backwards whilst my girlfriend starts grabbing my face saying "it's me it's me" (this did not help one bit at all, because as far as I was concerned it was some demonoid bastard clawing at me). Needless to say she ended up in tears, she said she was trying to bury her head into the covers because she figured that any second I was going to swing for her hahaha. What a great way to wake up on your birthday eh?

I've told her to stop doing that shit, I think the message may have got through this time.

I've been tripping in a fair few dreams lately (whilst straight IRL) - full on rainbow spectrum glorious technicolour. Which is strange really as I've never got those effects of drugs IRL.

Sleep paralysis is fun once you know what it is! Well most of the time, I don't like it when I hear a high pitch whistling and hear voices in a strange language.

I'm scared it's aliens Irrational fear

When I was munchin pills like pacman every weekend a few years ago I had sleep paralysis quite a lot, Scary at first then you learn to enjoy it and even managed to take control of the dreams sometimes.
I found leaving the tv volume louder than usual and lying still with my eyes closed and you start to feel the SP coming on, usually dreaming that im a part of whatevers on the TV! Had some amazing dreams where i'm able to fly and completly aware that im dreaming!

Always seen dark man like figures with very loud screeching noises until I realise i'm dreaming.
Still get it occasionally but tend to shake myself out of it now.

I used to suffer these when I was younger. Not pleasant.

They are also referred to as 'Hag attacks'.
