Thread: Firghtening Paralysis

Why did you make another topic?

because man...i want as many people to see it as possible...i need to resolve this...it isn't a fun experience...i'm hoping that someone else has experienced this and can offer me some insight...

Dude, one of the fundamental rules of forums: Don't post your topic more than once. Even if it's really scary, you just don't. I think you'll get away with it this time, so you are spared from the pit of horny old women who have been dead for 500 years. Just.

EDIT: I have the anwser. You are in your bed, right? Now, what I think right, is that you accidentaly put your bed on the ceiling. It's quite normal (I've done it before). Now, when you closed your eyes, you forgot to strap yourself in...so you landed on the floor (which happens to be green), and couldn't move because falling off the roof is kind of painful and disorentiting.

See, quite simple really. Now disregard my anwser.

Actually dude....this is the answer....and an informed one at that. I've posted it here so that it may help anyone else understand this...who has experienced it. Peace out! And sorry about the double post.

Isolated Sleep Paralysis and Lucid
Dreaming: Ten-Year Longitudinal Case
Study and Related Dream Frequencies,
Types, and Categories
Jorge Conesa, Ph.D.

A final summary of a ten-year case study focusing on the dream experiences of a 47-yearold
subject (the author, JC) who has suffered from Isolated Sleep Paralysis (ISP) is detailed.
This study was undertaken in an attempt to contribute to the understanding of long-term
dream naturalistic information about dream events associated with the ISP condition. A
total of 5,761 dream events were recorded during 3,519 nights during the period starting
on August 13, 1992, and ending on August 13, of 2002.

ISOLATED SLEEP PARALYSIS (ISP)
ISP is an atonic state occurring in nonnarcoleptic and otherwise normal sleepers. During the sleep paralysis episode dreamers become conscious of their dreaming condition with the realization that they cannot move
(1,15-17). Dreamers then struggle to wake up
from this paralyzed state, and some develop
arousal techniques to make this possible. The case subject (JC) experienced his first episode
of sleep paralysis concurrent with a so-called
out-of-the-body-experience (OBE) in 1969.
The indelible experience occurred while in
preparation for going to sleep. The subject
closed his eyes as if merely resting them, and
opened them only to realize that a rough
surface was proximal to his face. This surface,
he realized, was the texture of the ceiling in his
bedroom. Upon realizing this, instinctively, the
subject "turned on his belly" and thought he
"saw" his physical body sleeping about two
meters below. The impression of perceiving
himself to be "floating" above his sleeping body
caused the subject to awaken in a sudden jolt.
The rest of that evening was punctuated by
several ISP episodes. Since that evening, and for
the following thirty-three years until the
present, the subject has lived with ISP inregular to chronic epochs. The regularity of
these events and related dream experiences
coupled by the real need to begin a science of
observing and quantifying these regularities
prompted this study. In the next section I will
summarize the methodology used since 1992 as
well as changing criteria that needed to be
adopted as the study progressed.

This is "exactly"...what happened with the "green carpet" in my original post above...
