Not sure if I had Sleep Paralysis or dreamt it

**Wolf2** · 08-12-2010 11:48 PM

I set my alarm for 6.30 this morning, got up, went toilet, sat on my bed for about a minute trying to wake my brain up in my head (doing maths etc) then went back to bed. That's that last thing I know for sure. However I do remember a crazy sound in both my ears, I can't even describe it, really loud as well. I snapped out of it the first time for some reason but them I got back into it. And that's the last I remember.

However is it possible that was a dream? I could've went back to bed and fallen straight asleep I was really tired. Is dreaming you are in SP common? Or did I most likely actually fall into SP (only 2nd time I've ever tried, although tbh I wasn't really "trying", just trying to fall asleep)

If it really was SP, then wow that was crazy. Don't remember what my body was like but that sound was unbelievable. Oh and I didn't have any lucid, nor any really vivid dreams

It's very possible that it was a dream. If it seemed unrealistic for SP, or something wasn't right, it was probably a dream, but don't take my word for it.

Can you remember what the sound was like? Was it a quick, sharp noise or a more backgroundey thing?

Wasn't quick, but wasn't background. Completely filled my head. Kind of maybe a buzzing/whistling/high pitched maybe. Wish I could remember it better

Hmm, i don't think I've ever experienced anything like that. it might be tinnitus or something, but I think I'm the wrong person to ask.

Ok so when most enter SP they don't hear any sounds like I described?

Like I said I broke out of it for some reason but then got back into it and it started again then I can't remember what happened.

If you have SP you will know for sure, because your mind starts playing out halucinations & your fully awake. most of everyone panics at this point & struggle to wake up. But all they can control is there breathing. You can tell if your in paralysis by the fact that you are completely conscious & can feel the air in your throat. The problem is that your subconscious is still grabbing dark figures & playing erie sounds, because you are consciously adding panic to the frequency.

I do. Sometimes it's a high pitched ringing sound like those old CRT TVs make. Sometimes it's a low buzzing sound that I can feel in my head, it can sometimes get so strong that it feels like blood vessels are going to burst.

Also I have tinnitus, I always hear a high pitched ringing sound (Like crt tv). When it's quiet enough I can also hear a lower buzzing noise that I can actually feel in my ears. I asked other people about it and they say they never hear anything like that even when it's quiet. I had always thought it was normal.

It is very evident of the strange sounds while we sleep & things like tinitis effect us, but there is one called brain zaps that is from antianxiety/deppressants that is a low power voltage in our brains, much like a camcorder running on low power. This is evident in public water supplies which contain many toxins & prescription drugs. Stick to a stricked regiment of steam distilled water & the brain zaps go away. I have tested this theory & it is very evident that this anomaly will increase from drinking store bought beverages. So good buy coke & pepsi or any purified waters that are actually high in flouride & not purified at all.... Try it, you will hear the truth.
