Hello there!
I have been having some strange experiences while sleeping, too. It's not sleep paralysis 100%, but hypnagogia. I wake up while dreaming, but I can't move my body and all too often I can barely open my eyes. Most of the times I also experience intense pain in my head as if someone is squeezing it.
I remember an interesting experience I had that is related with the above. I was dreaming (sadly I don't remember the content of the dream anymore) and during the end of the dream I started feeling in the dream strangely. I remember that at the end of the dream I was walking down the street in my neighbourhood when I started feeling very dizzy and disoriented, my head felt heavy and I also started experiencing everything moving faster. After a while the experience became more intense and I started feeling pain in my head and then I fell down (all these happened in my dream). Immediately after my fall, I felt as if I was instantly transported to a surgical room and doctors where doing a surgery on me. It all felt as if were happening in super accelerated time so after a while it all ended and I woke up and was feeling very disoriented and exhausted.
Some times I also have those beautiful dreams where I am on interplanetary travels and I get to see planets and other celestial objects and it feels so good or that I am on Earth and look up on the sky and see all those beautiful nebulae and galaxies. It all feels so magical and special...

Hey Alexander,
I've had similar experiences too!! I wake up while still dreaming, can't open my eyes and can't move legs at all!! It is a wierd but great experience since I'm pretty sure it has something to do with ET and contact so I wouldn't worry about it too much. Good to know that others out there have similar experiences.
It's weird, but during those dreams just when I'm about to wake up I feel like I'm in control of the dream partly towards the end but then I just wake up, eyes closed, can't move my legs....might scare the crap out of some people but it's pretty cool.

A couple of years ago I became conscious that I was about a foot above my sleeping body looking down at it in the bed. It actually scared the bejeezus out of me and I tried to wake up but I was paralyzed. Couldn't move a muscle, yet awake. From the place where I was floating I reached down and grabbed the arms of my body in the bed and started to hit my face with them. I finally woke up punching myself in the head. ;D

Hello purduegrad05!
At first, it was frightening for me, but now that I know that nothing's wrong it excites me, too. It is interesting to note that most of the times that this happens I am dreaming of extraordinary things. For example, I remember once when I was dreaming that I was telekinetic and it happened, or that I was flying and it happened again. The experience that I mentioned in my previous experience, though with my head and the impression of being operated was very strange and somehow different...
Love, Alexandros

Hello All, It's been great to read everyone's experiences, some really cool, and funny ones. I am so glad I'm not the only one suffering from these temporary bouts of insanity.

last night, upon waking up, i was paralyzed for a few minutes. i even tried to yell for help but was unable to speak; i could only see; didn't see anyone in my room though.
It's happened to me a lot in my life. Correct me if i'm wrong, but I was under the impression that sleep paralysis is a natural occurrence.

Whether it's natural or not, when it happens, relax. Let go of your fears.

Yeah same thing happens to me all the time, except I never yell for help ;D I remember once I woke up to a black, foggy, smoky circular looking cloud thing on the ceiling that was apparently lifting me up so I can go through it. I don't know if I was dreaming, half way up or all the way up, all I know is that it seem very real

Eevee That's crazy that you should mention the buzzing in the ears. The same thing happened to me last night.
I was having a dream where I was driving down the road and was suddenly pulled out of the car and lifted upward. I instantly woke up but couldn't move at all. I tried calling my girlfriend's name but my mouth wouldn't work, but at the same time i was breathing heavy like I was terrified. While this was all happening I kept hearing a buzzing or humming in my ears. It all seemed to stop at one time and I was able to talk to move and finally call out to my girlfriend who was oblivious to anything going on.
I've never experienced anything like that before.

I'm not a skeptic or anythign (just a total insomniac, )--even Stephen Hawking has suggested that there's probably something else out there bigger than us, but this could just as easily be a natural medical thing like someone else metioned. I heard it has to do witht he chemicals in your brain that are normally released when you die--apparently it's like a comforting acid trip. Wish i could find that article now...anyways, here's another somewhat less exciting/1970s article that i was reading recently and maybe has something to do with it? www.purematters.com/healthy-mind/sleep-fatigue/less-than-optimal-sleep-may-age-the-brain Perhaps having abnormal sleep patterns for whatever reasons ca;uses strange imbalances? I just wonder...maybe I'm humanizing them too much, but I'd expect aliens to come in like the British in the 19th century and just take over, and maybe to be nice decided to teach us to play alien cricket or something. Silly image, I know...

I've had sleep paralysis alot, some nights it's terrifying others I'm not really afraid just worried that I won't be able to move again.
I quite often hear things or feel 'things' most of the time I can't open my eyes and I spend what seems like forever trying to make my body do what I'm mentally telling it too, eventually I get my eyes open and the rest slowly responds.
