Hi there, I’m new here. I was given this URL by someone on another forum, because I was speaking about having sleep paralysis. I get this A LOT and it’s quite distressing to me because I don’t understand what it is and why I’m having it. [possible irrelevant info: I’m 21].

So far this site is quite interesting. Dreams interest me, although I have to admit I don’t remember much of my own but when I do they are soooo real that I actually believe I’ve done what I’ve done in the dream!

The sleep paralysis: I see this hooded reaper like thing either sitting in the corner of my bedroom, or it comes at me slowly, laughing or pointing. It sometimes attacks me and I can’t breathe.

A lot of people tell me that I am quite active whilst still asleep. I shout, talk, get up, walk around, climb over things, I even eat food in my sleep -chuckles-…

I day dream A LOT too…just switch off, go to different places, meet people I’ve never seen before do things I would love to do…at one stage I thought I was going crazy but apparently it’s a good thing? Wow. Makes me feel less mental! =]

I was wondering if this is significant to anything?

I have Insomnia and have had it since I was 3 years old [first diagnosed] sleep disorders are common in my family, Insomnia being the most common and Narcolepsy.

I am new to this dream thing but always wondered what it is about, does anyone have any answers?

Thanks =]

Tc.
