There was a thread made about this subject back in 2004, but it can no longer be posted in.
I had my second experience with sleep paralysis only about an hour ago. The first time I had it was back in 2008. What a scary and helpless feeling this gives you.
For those who don't know what sleep paralysis is, it is something that happens while falling asleep or waking up. Your mind is awake, but your body isn't. Thus making you unable to move. Hallucinations and hearing things are also common with this. A lot of people have said they sense an evil presence in the room as well.
It's a very strange, scary, and interesting thing to have happen to you. Two times in four years this has happened to me. Both times while my wife wasn't home too. I can't stop thinking about what happened to me. I was absolutely terrified. I had been in and out of sleep most of the night because my 8 month old son kept waking up in his crib. Not sure if the messed up sleep pattern during the night caused it. I woke up to a strange sound that I can only describe as the spaceship type or beaming up sound you hear in movies. The next thing I know, I can't move or hardly breathe. It feels like something is sitting on your chest with their hand over your mouth. I really felt like there was some kind of evil presence in the room. It is physically exhausting to try to move your body when you can't. I had tunnel vision and I saw one of my black tattoos on my arm turn white during this experience. I haven't been able to get back to sleep since.
I called my wife at work a few minutes after I woke up to tell her about it.
Just curious if any of my fellow OS'ers have had experiences or deal with this frequently, and how you handle it?

The human mind is an incredible thing.
