      Blackout

      Hey guys,

      i've read the site, and abit of the forum tonite (this morning really i guess) and i've been wondering (maybe it was said but i've missed it) if something that has happeneed to me quit e a few times can be connected to Ld'ing etc etc.

      What happens is i seem to wake up, and i can't move at all and its insanely hard to move a finger or anything like that. its like my brain hasn't told my body im awake now.

      it takes alot but eventually i'll move a finger or a toe and i'll be wide awake as soon as it moves, back to normal.

      Can anyone explain this odd expirence i've had atleast 15 times?

      also i must add its quite scary the first few times, as i had no idea what was happening, i thought i was paralyzed or something along those lines.

      has anyone expirenced this?

      You were paralyzed. The condition you are in is call sleep paraylsis and is a normal part of the sleep process.

      When you sleep, there is a structure at the base of you brain that shuts off all motor impulses. This keeps you safe and secure while you sleep, no matter how intense your dreams become.

      You should count yourself lucky! When you are in sleep paralysis, it is very easy to enter into a lucid dream!
      you must be the change you wish to see in the world...

      Related to this topic in a way I guess is something I have often wondered. Does sleep paralysis have anything to do with those moments in your dream when you can't seem to move? It most often happens in nightmares when I seemingly freeze from fear and cannot move a single muscle no matter how hard I try. Could this be related to the fact that the body is paralysed at that time?

      I don't know about your question Dream Seal, but I get sleep paralysis every once in a while and it can be a pretty freaky ordeal. Sometimes when it happens a can feel a presence in the room as well and also even see figures around me. I understand that this is also fairly common and is where alot of alien abduction stories arise from.

      Sadly, I've never been abducted, I wish though. Maybe someday.
