Well, I've never experienced it myself but what you're describing sounds like sleep paralysis that you experienced when waking up when a large amoun of cases reported is about how people feel it when falling asleep instead (especially for WILDs). |

Yeah could be so I guess. I have only ever had it before waking up. And I dont know about less intense, I mean I have woken in cold sweats not know why the **** I couldn't wake myself up, seeing my partner (at the time) leave the room to go to the bathroom, and not be able to even move my fingers for her to wake me up, almost like I was in a coma, was so scary - I thought I would never wake up and the panic and terror was second to none. |

For me it seemed to last about 10 minutes or so... I wish I could have it now, knowing what it is!!! |

Hey there, |
|
Well i am a very light sleeper and i have had sleep paralysis many times and it normally occurs when i wake up in the middle of the night and try to go back to sleep. The next thing i know i am paralysed and i hallucinate, either hear people calling me like my mother or something or people talking, footsteps, or i see things like someone standing over me (very scary). I read up on the internet about this that alot of people experience hallucinations of demons standing over them, walking around their room or even sometimes attacking u. Sleep paralysis can occur for various reasons, one of which is not getting enough sleep, or waking up in the middle of the night and letting your mind wander and others. |

I am a very heavy sleeper, would take a world war to even come close to waking me up lol |

AdamA, my experiences are the same as yours, it feels like there is a terrific weight upon me, I cannot move and since I am borderline on dreaming, I have HI, hear sounds, all that cool stuff... |

Yeah I know that now seeker, and its annoying because before I joined this forum I had it all the time and was terrified by it, now I know what it is, and know I can induce lucidity from it, I cannot get into SP |
|
I've said often, do not focus on inducing sleep paralysis. I've only experienced it twice. Focus instead of dreaming and let SP take care of itself |
