AP?
K, im gonna start studying it. I love risky stuff

OMG when I was younger I almost had an OOBE and it scared the he'll out of me^^. Good Luck-

This was happening to me often when I was young...I often had weird hallucinations like seeing an 8-bit dog on my coach. Or hands flipping near the door, but those hallucinations lasted like 5 seconds and were very unclear. (almost unobservable sometimes)
The most vivid hallucination I ever had was when my mom appeared right at the door from nowhere. When I went to see what the hell is going on she disappeared. O_O

Lol one time I was just watching the hallucinations and one looked like a cat on my bed,I swated at it.
Turned out it was my cat and it attacked me.

At least you know your limits Katniss, thats the first step to pushing them further =].
Nito.

Now those are words of wisdom

Oh and lol with th cat^^

I wasnt scared until i starting seeing like whriling in my mind and what really freaked my out was a extremely entense vibration all over my body it got really strong that i had to snap myself out of it. I wont be doing anything like this for a wile. Lol even if you are not scared the vibration is so intense it will freak anyone out at first time, I have spoke to people with same experience as what i did, so made me feel better that its wasnt just me.. im 23 - 24 next month good diet good health etc. Lol im just into paranormal stuff like

You might be seeing arua's

I've seen auras before. Or I think i have.

Kat, I wish you can get well soon--or maybe you will enjoy SP eventually. I have SP since this year, I usually have horrible vibrations, my whole body trembles, and there are noisy sound in my head. Today I just had two strong SPs which lasted 15 minutes separately, and a little bit of hallucination.

Speak of color changing walls, I used to see them when I was a child without experiencing SP, or any other altered state of consciousness. I also saw the whole room morphing, which freaked me out.

I am just a beginner of SP, and I don't want to have any further scary hallucinations. And I believe I have narcolepsy. I have to see a doctor I think. Do you guys see a doctor? Is it very expensive?

Thank you Pink^^ Everyone here is so supportive. I still suffer from it, and the worse part is when I feel my eyes opening, they get extremely heavy and when they shut I feel like I'm falling into blackness. I have had all the symptoms you put up there. I have heard children screaming and loud waves crashing along with buzzing noises. I haven't really brought it up with my doctor. It's to weird to talk about anywhere else. But doctors are doctors they cost money.

I feel sorry for you for hearing children screaming, I only hear buzzing and waves. I hate seeing doctors because they ARE very expensive, but if your condition worsen, you should see a doctor to check your health(there may be other problems of you causing your condition) I am not an expert, but health is more important than money.

I don't think I have other conditions...or I hope not. A few minutes ago I took a nap. I immediately started to dream and then it seemed to stop and I was surrounded in blackness and it felt like my whole bed and body were going uphill and then I crashed downwards and then I heard this kid scream Rice Cakes and woke up. I've only ever heard screaming once before last year during my first episode of Sleep Paralysis. It wasn't loud, but very very soft and it was coming from above me and lasted only a few seconds so don't worry^^ Thank you very much though^^

i comprehend the anxiety. i've had rest paralysis throughout modern times, but the lately the periods have been getting horrific. however, if you want clear thinking, i am informed that rest paralysis is actually a advantage as it can help you recognize when you're almost asleep/asleep. just try to rest and know that it won't harm you, though i know it's tough.

The hallucinations freak me out too, don't worry you're not alone. I only really experienced it fully once. And it was scary as anything, I tried to scream too but nothing happened. I didn't open my eyes though, instinctively, as I realised what was going on: WILD. So I calmed down and just braced for the ride. A few seconds later I was up and about, in a dream.

I'd suggest NOT seeing a dr about this issue honestly. If they are not familiar with SP (which this is the most perfect example of I can find) they may give you medications that you do not need. My first SP experience had me shaken and probably as scared as you (I was a 21 year old male at the time so it's a bit more embarrassing for me lol). I just had one last night. I recommend you do what I did last night to end the scary part. The "demon or ghosts" or whatever negative presence you feel is NOT real. It is a part of your brain fabricating that. Now that I knew what to expect I thought to myself "Come get me you demon and I will beat you up worse than you can imagine" and I waited and actually WANTED it to come show itself. As soon as you challenge the feeling it will start to go away. The "demon" left last night and I was able to sit there with sleep paralysis and it was actually quite relaxing now that I knew what to expect.

I know right now you are trying to avoid it, but instead try to control it and it can be very enjoyable. Good luck!

Don't worry at all. This is all quite normal and I STRONGLY suggest you do not take any kind of medications or anything like that. The first time I had sleep paralysis I heard a noise that was so incredibly loud it felt like it would explode my eardrums. This obviously won't happen because the noise is in your head. I am really into the science behind why all this stuff happens but I am trying to reassure you that it is all perfectly ok. Try thinking of it this way... you know how in a dream crazy things that make no sense can happen like someone having 3 heads or flying through the air? Think of your brain as being "half awake" so these feelings you get simply feel more real than a dream. In the end they are still 100% false and just part of the dreaming mind, but the rest of your brain is partially awake to make them seem more realistic. You are 100% ok and have nothing to worry about, so you should just keep telling yourself that it will happen but try to enjoy it. When I was younger I would get the feeling of falling into a deep dark hole forever and ever while I was sleeping. It was horrible and I wanted it to stop so bad. Eventually you can control it on your own. It would happen and suddenly I would convince myself I was falling into a "warp tunnel" and that hole would eventually end and take me somewhere happy. Then I'd fall and learn to enjoy it because it meant I was about to enter a happy dream.


You are absolutely healthy and normal. You don't need to see anyone about strange things happening in your sleep. The human brain is full of surprises. If anything I'd say be proud that you have an active and intelligent brain. You just need to get used to how smart it is

WOW! Thanks so much that really helped. It's been a while since I've had another Episode which i'm happy, but my Lucid Dremas have decreased due to stress. I thinks that is really cool how you are studying this and interesting stories. I know that feeling of falling, though the whole Rice Cake thing kind of made me laugh. Thank you for your advice and tips
