Thread: Cant Complete Sleep Paralysis

Ive experienced the old hag feeling many times and I know exactly how scary it is. Ive woken up convinced that there was an person standing right next to me ready to take my soul or do something horrible to me. But to get to that point, I have to first become paralyzed. I find that I am only able to wake up paralyzed.

Consciously slipping into sleep paralysis is my problem. I am only able to consciously get to the point where I can still resist the feeling of my body or soul being dragged underneath my bed. Its the feeling of your head being sucked into your pillow with the loud ringing/train rushing noise. The kind of sound one would hear during an intense flashback like in the movies. My natural reaction was to resist it but Ive learned to just let it happen.

Still, knowing that nothing is going to happen and trying my best to just let whatever happen happen, I find myself breaking free from that feeling even though I dont want to. Thats the problem. My body/mind naturally rejects it, while Im consciously trying to keep it from doing so by relaxing.

I assume if I am able to allow my body to get sucked into my bed, I will enter sleep paralysis.

My question for you guys is, do you guys experience the terrifying feeling of being sucked into your bed while going into sleep paralysis or do you guys just find yourself in sleep paralysis after lying still for a while?

Most people talk about the old hag feeling when theyre in sleep paralysis. No one ever mentions anything about the phase before sleep paralysis completion. The phase where the feelings are most violent for me.

Ill explain a little more just in case. I first feel my head getting very numb and light and thats when I instantly know whats coming up next. Then I get the feeling of being on a rollercoaster but only on my head. It feels like my brain is being pulled right out of my skull and into my bed. Then about 5 seconds later, I get that feeling but on my entire body. Like my entire body is being pulled into the bed. The feeling is accompanied by a sound that sounds exactly like standing next to a passing train. Sometimes a loud ringing noise is mixed right in, the kind you hear when a gun goes off right next to your ear.

I experience all this in about 10 to 15 seconds intervals. After about 5 failed attempts to enter sleep paralysis, assuming what happens after really is sleep paralysis, I am too awake to induce the feelings again. And since the best time to do WILDs is during a nap or waking up at night, I dont have so many chances to try.

Same here
