Hi 1st time poster here, love the site.
Whilst this isn't conspiracy its something i believe people on this site might have an opinion as it involves an unusual phenomenon.
Has anyone experienced sleep paralysis and what views do you have on it, I've experienced it twice recently and the 1st experience was a scary and unnerving experience, however the 2nd was still scary but i remained much more calm as i had read up on it after the 1st experience.
Sorry for the non conspiracy post but i would love to hear opinions.

I have experienced it once. I was having a nightmare and woke up suddenly, only to see something that looked like a face across the room.
It wasn't a face, but a picture on the wall, but i failed to recognise that maybe because the nightmare was so vivid.
Anyway I couldn't move at all. Once I realised that it was in fact a picture, I was able to move my arms to turn on a light. (I was on my back with my arms by my side)
Scary stuff
merka.

Can recall my mum telling me it happened to her about 30 years back,remember her telling me how she was froze to the bed totally awake yet being unable to move and also my aunties voice telling her to go back its not your time....she described it as a terrible experience.

Strange you should mention that as i had this a few weeks back, i woke up and my body was just stuck and i could see at the bottom of my bed some sort of bigfoot thing just kneeling down, i was trying to shout for help but nothing was coming out, it's really scary to be honest, but then after about 10seconds i "woke up", dunno if i woke up or if i was already awake and just coming out of the paralysis.

I can remember wking in the night thinking that there was a snake in my room. That's horrible because it's hard to disprove. You turn on the light but it could be hiding somewhere!

Interesting stories, mine have thankfully never been accompanied with hallucinations, ive just been lay awake, paralysed only being able to move my tongue slightly, I also found it difficult to breathe, then after straining to move after 30 seconds or so I manage to burst up.

This is so weird, it only happened to me two weeks ago and it followed a 'dream' where somone was in my house - i was awake eyes open and could hear the banging about of stuff but couldn't move - felt like someone was holding me down because i was trying. Afetr about 10-20secs i was moving and all the noise stopped........i rolled over and went back to sleep, i hadn't been burgled!! Any ideas what it could be?

ive only ever had one but like i said it had some sort of bigfoot thing kneeling over the bottom of my bed, real scary, it only lasts for about 10 seconds maybe a little longer but it is the scariest thing i have ever had/witnessed, knowing your helpless and just lay there, can't move can't shout for help, it really is a scary thing to have especially if you hallucinate and have a big hairy creature just sat(kneeling) there looking at you.
sorry forgot to sign off last time.

After reading up about it more ive seen stories about people seeing "greys" when their paralysed and its been linked to abduction theories, maybe it has a conspiracy side to it after all :)

{Ed033's Note - Allegedly MILABS and the "greys" do abductions but most people who have strange abduction like experiences while "sleeping" are actually experiencing sleep paralysis.}

Ed, i watched something on the discovery channel a few months back and it was on about sleep paralysis and they were saying most abductions are just sleep paralysis, think the program was weird or what.?
JK (i do believe in abductions but i believe most of the time it's just sleep paralysis.)
{Ed033's Note - Yeah, I think you're correct.}

I think the science behind is that you actually enter a state of paralysis when you fall to sleep, otherwise you would be all over the place when you're dreaming, as supposedly we dream every night regardless of whether we can remember it or not.
When you wake up naturally in the morning you would never know you were in such a state. Apparently you not 100% until about 15 minutes after waking up, however if you wake up suddenly in the middle of the night, you're not going to have the 'waking up' period.

I have had the same experience, like someone pushing down my shoulders and neck im pretty sure i was awake not 100% tho, i wanted to shout for help and grab hold of what was holding me but i could'nt do either then what felt like ten seconds or so i sprang up, if it was a dream it dint feel like one, very scary.
