Thread: Was I in a HI?

Okay so one night before going to bed I tried to relax and WILD, and I felt myself shaking back and forth on bed, i was like there was a kid on each end of me and they were each pulling me, and then When I was thinking about it it would stop, this happened a few times...

Also when you guys try to WILD, do you guys feel your eyes getting heavy?

The shaking was sleep paralysis. It's fun isn't it?

I feel my eyes try to open with I WILD, not get heavy, but I guess it's different for everyone.

No it wasn't.

There's just so much confusion around this. To get things straight

Sleep paralysis is your body's muscle getting paralysed to prevent you from acting out your dreams. It's not a sensation, it's not a vibration, it's just what the word says: paralysis.

Now sleep paralysis is often accompanied by certain sensations. These however are not a part of your sleep paralysis. They are the sensations you feel when your body is falling asleep. They often include vibrations, tinglings, the feeling of numbness or heavyiness, altered breathing, or even the feeling of something sitting/pushing on your chest.

On top of that, when your body goes to sleep, people often begin to see/hear/feel hypnagogia. They are basically the onset of dreaming. And they're yet a third seperate thing from the other two. Most usually hypnagogia take the form of images and/or sounds that you experience. (I deliberate skip away see/hear because you don't see or hear these things with your normal senses).

Now, people often confuse the three. These three things: Sleep Paralysis, the sensations of your body falling asleep, and hypnagogia, are highly correlated. But a correlation is NOT a condition. This means it's perfectly possible to get into sleep paralysis without any strange sensations at all, or any hypnagogia. It's possible to experience sensations, but not get hypnagogia, and never go into sleep paralysis. Etc etc etc... They CAN happen independantly of each other.

In your case, from the way you described it, I'm guessing what you experienced where the second: simply the sensations you feel when your body is falling asleep.

Hope that clears things up,
