i get this when im on my back whenver i fall asleep, idk what to do. at least im used to it

The only time I've heard anything was a couple of voices talking. They were having a conversation in a different language that I didn't recognize. I remember asking "who are you?" One of the voices told me to turn around and find out. I was in my bed so I don't know what that meant exactly. But needless to say, it was fucking freaky.

I go lucid. Can float. See shadow apparition and cycle between floating and paralysis. Always ends with some sort of break where my brain says something moved in the real world. Like a person standing on my mattress. I awake in genuine jolt of fear.

Going lucid in dreams legitimately awakens some force that hates me being there. Turns my dream against me like in inception.

The shadow figure is universal and I saw it before I ever read about it. Freaks me out honestly.

I find it so interesting, but I always kind of panic when I get paralysed. Never seen anything because I'm too afraid. I always force myself to wake up after I get paralysed by moving my fingers and toes.

Auditory hallucinations. Got my first major episode after watching a nightmare on elm street marathon. Was on my side, back facing my open door, heard footsteps, then the noise of claws grinding against metal pipes like Freddy does in the movie, felt warm breathing on my ear until I gained movement again and flipped myself off my bed.

Saw visual hallucinations like light explosions on my turned off TV, words written into the wall, heard a creepy woman speaking in tongues directly into my ear. See my body and don't recognize it. My arm extended in front of me as I'm consciously trying my hardest to turn myself over and when I'm about to I "fall" and am back in the same position I was. Etc etc. Those are some of the worst, abridged though. Other times it's just me waking up , realizing I can't move, and just waiting it out until I can. I do sometimes get anxious when it takes longer than usual to be able to move though .

To me it's not scary at all. I have this same semi-lucid dream, and I'm in the same city.

It starts out in a room with 2 old scales in it and a wooden floor. I walk out the room and it has a sort of wooden hospital room with people coughing and a staircase. When I take the stairs down I can see a train station and a cinema.

When I go near the cinema I meet my girlfriend, even though I don't have one irl it feels very very real, like it's real life.

We then hold hands, and go sightseeing. Then I wake up, paralysed and she just talks to me. Tells me just random stories. She even told me her e-mail address one time, I sent an e-mail to it but haven't gotten a response.

I sometimes feel like it's an alternate universe, because I have memories of the place and the girl like they are real life.

I wonder what's up with this tongue language. Do you thinks it's Latin?

People always say there's a demon that appears but for me the worst is just hallucinating family members who live with me trying to wake me up. Always happens when I don't get enough sleep and take a nap.

I'm a lucid dreamer though so I've been getting better at shaking myself awake from it. Sometimes it leads me into a lucid dream though. Led me to a sleepgasm two days ago, shit was tight.

I get sleep paralysis a lot. It's never any visuals, but I hear a group of very loud and echoing screaming, sounding like it is getting closer and closer.

Scares the shit outta me.

i see the devil.

>First time I can recall it happening
>Can look around room but can hardly move. Everything is heavy. Can't yell out.
>Old woman with long stringy grey hair covering most of her face is hunched over me on the side of the bed.
>When I look at her she loses her shit and jumps on me, clawing at my chest and face.
>Wake up.

>Second time
>little girl in a yellow flower dress stands at the side of my bed.
>At first think it's my little cousin whom is staying with us at the time.
>She moves closer and her face begins to turn skeletal.
>I freak out and yell but nothing comes out.
>She seems to find it amusing and moves back and forth (her face switching from normal to skeletal as she does).

In between this and the next one I had several more but kept my eyes closed and concentrated on wiggling my toes to wake up out of it. This usually resulted in a feeling in my chest and stomach/sides similar to how it feels when your arm/leg falls asleep and it begins to get blood flow back to it.

>Move to a different house.
>Sleep paralysis hits.
>Man in a black overcoat and wearing a hat similar to op picture.
>Just stands in the corner watching me as he smokes a cigar.

Interesting. I've been trying to get lucid for a couple of months now without success.
Any tips?

When it started I'd see and hear random things, sometimes frightening. The worst was when I woke up from a nightmare and it had followed me out into my room, probably the most scared Ive ever been in my life.

Now whenever I wake up with the rush in my ears I instinctively screw my eyes shut until its over so I can't see anything.

On the few occasions when I haven't, there's thankfully been no hallucination or it's been quite minor shit.

It happened to me only once while I was napping on the couch. I didn't really hallucinate. I just thought I was dying. I could barely move and moan and I eventually fell back to sleep.

Not sure. To me it was like barely a language, but mostly just guttural sounds of someone trying to breathe and talk at the same time. It's what I imagine some demon would sound like if they were attempting to sound coherent, but failing.

sleep paralysis is not real, if you think you have it you are honestly pathetic, grow up.

A lot of /x/ posts on here today
>turn around and find out
That's pretty fucked up

I wouldn't be able to tell you. For me it's seeing something that's off. I am very observant in real life and can easily tell. Like I can see a person in my dream but which ever way I turn I can never see their face? That's when I go: Alright, this is a dream. And that is when I gain control.

I was having a dream once where one o the girls in my class was riding me. I woke up before I came, but couldn't move my arms or legs. Weird thing was, I kept getting closer to orgasm. It felt like something was still sliding up and down my dick. After a couple of minutes of this I can't take it anymore and cum everywhere. Then my arms and legs started to work again.

I think I got my dick rode by a ghost.

Right, I'll try doing more reality checks during the day. I've been told counting your fingers is effective too.

Thanks!

Can you change it ? Or Is it the same Every time? Try to fuck her

for me spiders, which is odd because I'm not scared of them when I'm awake.

Last time watched a massive one on the wall across from the end of my bed, eventually it crawled up the wall across the ceiling and dropped onto me, obviously I couldn't move.

Scared me shitless at the time

Might not be the best since I did i naturally and have like 5+ dreams per night but I'll try and help. First is if you haven't done it, keep a dream diary. Remember at least one dream every night and document all you can remember quickly after waking up. As the other guy said, realizing you're in a dream is finding something that's off.

For example, many of my dreams take place at home, so it becomes really easy to find what's off.
>wait there shouldn't be a party today
>people from college wouldn't visit my house.
so in your dreams, try to find some common theme which makes it clear it's a dream and then you will eventually notice is subconsciously while dreaming.

Not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for, but I've found a way to get into sleep paralysis state. I can usually invoke it when I first wake up from sleep and in my mind make a conscious decision that I want to get up, but inevitably am overpowered by my desire to fall asleep again, and so I let myself drift off and as soon as I feel I'm about to fall completely asleep I then with all my might try to get up and then I'm usually locked in, paralyzed.

This happened to me when I was 24

I'm 33 now and have never had anything like that happen since. The last couple of times I experienced paralysis, I knew immediately what it was and was able to wake myself up. That actually fucked with me for some time.

I was 7 or 8 i had been playing the og black ops 24 7 skipping school to play it and when i went to sleep i woke to the tv and the guy in the bacl banging on my window

It's the same every time, I can move freely and I do have full control but it's like moving in between cutscenes. The talk after is different though. Not sure what that would be based on.

Yeah it's things like that, something just seems off. I would suggest not thinking too hard about anything you're going to try because your mind has a way of incorporating that into your dream, basically making it not work.

Interesting! I'll try it tonight. Hope I don't meet a giant fucking spider when paralyzed.

Happens to me at least once a week for the past 3 years. At first it was alarming. No I just have to sit there until I "wake up". Fucking sucks. Sometimes it feels like I'm just stuck for hours. I started keeping a digital clock display on my ceiling, to see how long it lasts for. Longest so far was about 15 minutes. I can never go back to sleep after either.

You should tell her to respond to her email. Ask her What year it is in that universe, etc. What is the popular phone out at the time, who's the President. Sounds interesting as fuck

just feel like my eyelids weight a ton, or realize im dreaming, i don't even get scared anymore.

Happened to me when i was 17 and had small pox. Because of the fever and headache one night i started dreaming, but it was just like I was awake and didn't sleep at all. In my bed, same position, eyes open. Then i started seeing a lot of figures and scary faces on the ceiling, and all of the sudden i heard the loudest scream imaginable in my ears and head. It was so loud i opened my mouth, but couldn't talk. I also couldn't move. After a bit it stopped, so i went to my mom to ask her to stay with me, but as i returned to my bed i paralyzed again and fell. I realized shortly after that i was still dreaming, and panicked again as i was again in my bed as before. I went to my mom, but this time i was awake. The only time it happened to me.

I have this thing where I wake up and get out of bed, leave my room, go to the bathroom etc...but it is just a dream, and then it "resets", and I realise I am back in bed, waking up again.
It then repeats, but it seems more real than the time before, so I'm convinced I have actually woken up.
It then repeats again and again. The loop can go on 10, 15 times, and each time it seems more real and goes on for longer -- sometimes I even end up leaving my house and getting in my car, only for me to realise right at the last second that I'm dreaming again and it "resets".
Most of the time, after a certain amount of times, I wake up for real, and I just feel a little bit confused and hazy, I end up laughing to myself cos it feels a bit like being on some mild drugs. But there has been occassions where it resets so many times and my brain gets so entrenched in it that I get paniced that I will get stuck in it and not be able to wake up. Actually, I'm convinced that that is how I'm going to die and I will just die in my sleep, stuck in the loops.

Some tips if you do start lucid dreaming. The easiest way to keep the dream going (doesn't work all the time) is to look at your hands every few seconds. If you ever feel that foggy dream state coming on look at your hands immediately, and both sides of them. For whatever reason it keeps the dream going.

That's one thing I've always wondered when it happened to me. If my eyes are truly open, or if what I'm visually seeing is just my brain painting a picture of what I know from past experience . Like if someone was to walk into my room and look at me, they would just see me frozen with my eyes open? If you're seeing your clock increase in time I guess that's true huh, interesting.

I'm a somewhat good but not amazing lucid dreamer. I've experienced textbook sleep paralysis only one time that I can recall. Fell asleep and wasn't entirely sure that I was asleep. Looked around my room and it looked the same except with the really vivid hues typical of the dream world (well my dreams anyway). Couldn't move and wasn't sure if I was asleep or not. Shadow figure beside my bed scared me for about 2 seconds until it turned out to be Dana Scully. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror and saw that my pupils were pentagrams and realized it was a dream and that's all I remember

I can't talk back, that's the thing. It's like waking up but she is in the dream and I am not. It's like she's telling me a story thinking I'm still with her there if that makes any sense. I tried asking her stuff or get her attention but it's just like a file is being played you know.

It's never specific information either, the e-mail was the most specific thing I've ever heard her say. I've tried to get access to my e-mail within the dream, but there is no message there.

Someone's underage

I can always feel it coming on and would force myself to roll around until I wake up.

However, a few years ago I rolled with it and just let it happen, I heard a loud ringing in ears like after a grenade goes off. When I say loud, I mean it was unbearable, it is so powerful I had trouble breathing.

Next I heard what sounded like multiple voices all talking at the same time, But i couldn't distinguish any words. It was hard to tell if it was actually english.

Then I had flashes of different events in my life and a warm glowing feeling overcome my entire body, like I was surprised merged into water.

Then I snapped out of it. Since then I haven't haven't had it happen again.

Something similar to my case, but way worse for you.

Also, spinning around your own axis with your hands on your chest is very helpful

*BANG

"Wake up you stupid cunt!"
>ok

fuck yes user, keep that dream going

I am a clinically diagnosed borderline personality disorder / psychotic depression person and I have never had sleep paralysis. I've always wondered what it was like though. I have moments at night when I am trying to go to sleep, primarily during the final few minutes of fading to sleep, that are filled with panic. I hear people talking 24/7 so I drown it out with a big HEPA air filter and it helps a lot as I got more and more used to it. Other things I can't stop experiencing though. I will hear a footstep beside my bed, feel someone touching it like they rushed into my room and got beneath it, and some nights like last night, I feel like my bed is moving, shaking a little like one of those vibrating beds from the 80's.

When I look up, I whip my covers back and glare at the door and I will see an elbow or an ankle disappear into the hallway. I'll lay down again and it'll happen every time until at some point my brain drops the ball due to exhaustion and I just fall asleep. I sleep pretty peacefully, once I'm there at least.

What bothers me the most is that I have PTSD from my childhood, I had an abusive mom and sister who would do all kind of shit. No matter if they were beating me, calling the police on me, or coming into my room to scream at me for four or six hours, it all started with one thing : My door opening. So every 10 minutes of being awake, I hear my bedroom door open from the house I lived in at 10, I hear that damn door open and my heart stops and my body fills with adrenaline because my body knows, I am done for the next 6 hours, 4 if I'm lucky, to these two abusive women who hate dicks and think I am the whipping boy / stress ball they need in their lives.

God damn I hate women.

>Play The Simpsons Tapped Out way too much
>Think I hear the voices of simpsons characters as I'm falling asleep one night (this was the notification sound for the game)
>Go to reach for my phone and realise I can't move
>ohshit.png
>Realise my phone isn't making any noises at all
>Remember reading about sleep paralysis and think that must be what's happening to me
>ignore all the noises and demons that are definitely surrounding and taunting me until I can move again

That too. Another cool thing I've found is you can pretty much have literally anything appear before you. But you need to state it very clearly and with confidence, can't just think it into existence.

For me I love huge tits and titty fucking, so I like making pic related appear in my dreams. And it usually works, though for me I have to say "so and so will appear when I turn around" and 9/10 times it works. But one time it didn't after stating it over and over so I announced a different chick would appear and the new chick appeared.

Now, I'm still having problems when the actual sex bits arrive. For some reason after a few seconds they kind of just deform or soon disappear entirely. Anyone have advice on keeping that going?

Never had lucid dream, but entered paralysis few times. For me it's always same, position I find myself in is really uncomfortable and I hear loud noise, like if youtube.com/watch?v=AguPH0XBxdw&t=663s was playing inside my head at top volume. It takes eternity to break out of it (imagine it like scene from Kill Bill, where she tries to move her finger).

A figure walked into my room this morning. Believe i was awake. Not sure. The door opens but nothing is seen. An outline of a human body slowly strides towards me. It is slightly see through, with a patern i can only explain as TV static like. Cant hear myself speak, or think. Hear my mothers voice speaking to me that its time to wake up. Havent seen her in years.
I hate medication

holy shit are you me.. I do almost the exact same thing in my lucid dreams to will things into existence.

Like you said, you can never just make it appear, so what I always do is hold my hands behind my back reaching for it. It's like my brain won't logically let anything just appear, but it can render it out of frame? lol

I do this for people, objects and food. I find my mind is extremely good at recalling the taste sense in my dreams so I can literally go on an insane binge that wouldn't be possible in real life.

Do you frequent porn? Watching porn will slowly take away the sort of "need" or desire if you will. I like to only nasterbste every two weeks or so. It helos with controlling sexual desires and with doing so i can usually have it realeasd while i am in a dream state. So try not to for about a week and slip into it and try again

Yeah it's great to be able to get literally anything you want lol.

Frequent would be an understatement. Hmm, I'll looking into no fapping for a bit and see how it works. Thanks!

I started having sleep paralysis way back in elementary school and because of that, even now that I'm 23, I still sometimes have the same dream and I'm trapped in my old house/room.

In the dream I wake up in bed and I look over at the clock, but since it's a dream and my vision isn't perfect I instantly know I'm dreaming and then bam, I'm frozen in bed.

Sometimes I get "attacked" by unseen forces, just like invisible entities jabbing me with their hands and fingers. Over the years I've been able to free myself from the bed and slowly get further away. Originally once I escaped into the hall I would just sort of "respawn" back in bed. Now I can usually make it outside.

...

I dont want to be "that guy" but the longer you space out masterbating the mire clear your mind becomes. Dream wise and while awake. It also helps with woman. When you know that you wont jerk of until next week. Your mind creates a want for that significant other. You begin to become more confident and more apt to talk to another person. Flirting etc. Works really fucking well. When you say to yourself "fuck it ill just go home and jerk it" it makes you want the real thing less

I usually get sleep paralysis if I haven’t slept much then crash out into a nap (like another user) when I wake up from the nap I’ll have this odd feeling of sinking, not being able to move and the overwhelming thought that I’m stuck forever.

It’s actually quite frightening. Eventually I can get up but if I go back to sleep, and usually I feel like I want to, I re-enter paralysis so I usually want to stay awake. I don’t normally see anything although I’m mostly too afraid to open my eyes. Any sounds usually scare me awake because of all the horror stories about it I’ve read lol.

I’ve been trying to get lucid for years but I can no longer lay perfectly still long enough, I end up needing to swallow saliva.

I’ve only managed lucidity once and it was so awesome, I remember running up to a dream character like “HOLY SHIT I DID IT LOOK!” Then waking up. Fuck. Lol.

I need lucidity again.

solid bait mate

Holy shit imagine you get a reply from that email one day, that'd freak me the hell out.

/x/ posts like this are always both hilarious and creepy as shit, top shelf stuff

You need to play the ghostbusters theme tune on loop when you sleep.

It will protect you, do it!

>wiggle nig

kek

I used to get sleep paralysis and lucid dreams at least 3 days a week for like 5 years.
I normally just people I knew talking to me worried about me. Or I would see my gf next to me. Then when I actually woke up, she wasnt there.

I got it when I slept in the day time, which was often since I get uncontrollable sleepiness.
It all went away, I think do to have a more normal sleeping schedule.

Forgot to add the more interesting experiences.

I saw feathers falling from the ceiling and what looked like christmas lights there too.

One time I saw the door open slowly, then woke up in fear.

The last few times Ive seen the ceiling or wall look like blank jigsaw pieces.

Ive learned to control it at this point and not freak out. I realize Im just on the other side of a lucid dream, if that makes sense. I can almost kinda control it.

Never seen any shadow people though.

I feel the same way. I sometimes wonder if we are experiencing some alternate version of ourselves.

Fuck off with this normie shit. Those are the three most common hallucinations faggot.

>wiggle nig

Nice one user

They are, but it's still interesting to hear other people's stories. My best friends sees the shadowy-apparitions and it freaks me out when he tells me about it.

Ive had people see me while I actually experience it. They said my eyes were partially opened.. But this is like 2 times out of too many to remember events.

You know those creepy black ghost from harry potter from the prisoner of asscanban or whatever.. I wake up and it looms over me. I'm conscious though I can't move or speak. I have no control over my body. Though I can feel him looming over me watching me sleep. and I can feel where he's at while he does it. if it's floating over me or standing over me. or at the doors or the corner. He watches me and I can feel and sense his intent to kill. There is never anybody to found at the times that I open my eyes though he's there for some dreams at the process of me waking up.

Funny you say that, because I often dream about Harry Potter, and the dreams always end up in a bad way like the fucking snake from the second movie eating me, or one of the ghost apparition things takes my soul, and whenever they take me; I get paralyzed.

I love HP though so no hard feelings there.

It's a basilisk retard, not a snake

And they're called dementors

>I love HP

Apparently not

It used to happen to me occasionally a couple of years back. I always kept my eyes shut tightly, because im a faggot and i aint gonna die from a heart attack

Its very auditory for me, and the sounds are very much dependent on whether im afraid or not

One of the most frightening times was when i heard like a giant ass hornet, hovering behind me, slowly getting closer to my heard BZZZZZZZZ

But the noise has also been lowkey mumbling from my friends or other people that im around everyday

My trick is just to try and calm your mind, its only gonna get more nightmarish if you panic

head*

I see Millie

...

ITT edgy reddit tier faggots pretending they saw big spoopy goats and skellingtons and heard the screaming of a banshee, you don't see/hear shit with sleep paralysis

>being this angry for no reason

What the fuck is this

Nvm I just had to read it

Nearly had a panic attack the first time I heard about sleep paralysis and the hat man/shadow people.

I used to see the hat man when I was like 8. I remember seeing him once late at night and screaming "go away." That was the last time I ever saw him. Still, it freaks me out because I know for a fact I'd never heard of him before. I can't explain why I've seen the same thing so many others have.

I remember he was solid black, outlined by my nightlight with glowing red eyes.

some autistic dude is fantasizing about the girl from stranger things. he has posted yesterday and today. I hope there's more tomorrow

Alright so I read the shit and I'm back to: what the fuck is this

...

>no reason
I just fucking hate people larping m8

That explains it

The dementors are trying to stop you from entering the dream world. What are they keeping from us?

Also, what does someone who is awake see when they look at someone who is paralysed and hallucinating? Frozen with their eyes open? Creepy.

never heard of hallucinations while waking up or falling asleep.
Either youre some underage kid or semi retarded guy.

when i was little i had my worst episode,, i was facing the wall and all i can really remember is something stroking my back.... it felt like really long skinny ass fingers and as i turned to face it... it was this shadow with the fucking creepiest smile no eyes no fucking nose eithr just a fucking mouth like y?

i got a few of those
usually i lie still with my hands at my side and not move, after a while i start hearing noises
>opened my eyes and see this girl from the ring just at the edge of my bed with her hair static
>opened my eyes and see this huge spider with long thin legs move on the ceiling and dispersal behind the back of the bed
>actually threw a pillow at it and screamed
>when i was little i experienced one where i was feeling like "my hands were like two balloons" they lifted and i woke up
pretty scary shit, if you can get past the auditory stage
for me it goes like: numbness, partial paralysis, auditory stage, full paralysis, (open your eyes) visual stage

>pic related
oh here's the thing to add. I can see past my eyelids like that raven kid from game of thrones. though I can't open my eyelids. He grows so close though it's like being awake. it's like my light and vision is that expecto patronum thing. He can feel that presence of dominant view for the 30-40 minutes it takes me to wake up from my paralysis

Pizza hut?

HOLY SHIT DUDE THAT FUCKING MOVIE.

"The Nightmare" or whatever, on Netflix, that your picture is from, is what fucking triggered sleep paralysis for me. Holy shit I wish I never watched that movie. It's terrible, don't get me wrong, but it's literally spot fucking on when it comes to the different shit you see when you're paralysed. Fuck.

Wait a minute.

How the fuck did this shadowy dude in a hat show up as part of the experience?

It's never happened to me.
