It is so weird. I am paralized but I feel like my body is lifting up in the air and I am thrashing around the room. The feeling is so real and I am techinally awake while it is happening however I can;t move. I also get a pulsating ringing in pressure in my ears when this is going on. \nThis state will on for quite awhile until I can will myself awake..which is hard because I am in a very foggy daze which even lasts for awhile afterwards. \nHas this happened to anyone else? \nI really feel like aliens are trying to snatch me. Its quite disturbing

I had an out of body experience.  I floated above my body and watched my friends try to wake me up.  They were yelling at me to breathe and I was alright after a short time.  When I came down, I realized what a low existence we live in.  Reality is a very low existence.  It's hard to put in words.....)(

yes.  I had my first one of those when I was in college. I was so dizzy and a bit nauseated.  It was horrible!  I am sorry you are going through that.  I hope you get to feeling better soon!

It has happened to me. I have woke up and cannot move or speak. I try to scream and nothing comes oujt. I have even seen something approach me. TRY your HARDEST to move even a finger. Once you can do that you'll come out of it. I read that it has omething to do with the REM part of sleeping. The body wakes up during a deep sleep and that is why I would see something coming at me. Many others have been through the same thing. Talk to a sleep specialist or a neurologist.

the heart attack was a big wake up call for you,like being slapped in the kisser with a dead mackeral....but more painful.you are now trying to see how "immortal" you can be without impinging on the next few decades of your mortality.you are looking at things in an entirely new way than before,and seeing things you just never took the time to notice before.The lonliness is understandable...only YOU experienced this terrifying event,so you need a supportive group of ppl who have lived thru your experience themselves.why wouldn't you feel weird?But you got a wake up call many ppl don't get...now you look at your kids and thank god you can throw your arms around them and still tell them you love them.You got a second chance,buddy,time is precious,live each minute,savour life as though it were a fabulous wine,don't gulp it down and be sick....sip elegantly at it....savour each precious drop.Peace!:)

In my case everything went really good:D of course at the beginning you may feel emabarrassed but I think that if you focus on things that are happening, on the fact that you're going to experience something incredible with your beloved you forget about everything else. It's just You and the person. Just close your eyes and let it flow... this is how it went for me:) undescribable experience when you forget about everything that surrounds you but The Person and what's happening with your body:)

Never had that happen before.... but it could have been something similar to a panic attack where your senses became heightened? Just a guess...

Yes, I have had an out of body experience, but I didn't go to heaven or hell.  I had a very bad automobile accident, and was rushed to hospital by ambulance with sirens screaming etc.  When we got to the hospital casualty staff were waiting and the ambulance personnel quickly got me out of the ambulance and rushed me into the emergency section.  I was fully conscious (I think, but I have never discussed this with anyone so I'm not sure now).  Anyway, as the ambulance guy pushed my stretcher at full speed into the casualty section - I found myself on the ceiling above the stretcher.  As he and other people rushed the stretcher along a corridor, I bounced up and down on the uneven bricks in the ceiling.  I felt incredibly nauseas.  Then we rushed into an emergency room where there was a doctor.  As we came to a stop, I came down onto the stretcher again.  The doctor prodded and poked etc, but the whole time he was doing it I couldn't really open my eyes, because there was a window behind me and the full noon sun was streaming through it and it hurt my eyes it was so bright.  Then I asked the doctor to close the curtains or blinds on the window and he was perturbed and gestured and I managed to turn around a little and there was just a blank brick wall (ordinary room wall) behind me.  The light was gone the moment I looked and the room was so drab and dark compared to before.  I have no explanation for all of this, but it does make me wonder sometimes.  I obviously survived the accident - I still have scars but I came out amazing well considering.  The doctor in the emrgency room repeatedly told me 'you have been very lucky'.  Was there an angel there?  I often wonder.

I hear voices as well and I would advise you to see a doctor. Even if you feel like everything is ok, your perception may not be right. \n\nBesides, I don't know about you, but I have a hard time concentrating on anything when there is all kinds of babbling and nonsense going on in my head.

About 7 or 8 years ago I visited a local stately home. It was unusual because it was built by a deeply religious man and the building formed a cross if seen from above. It was also unusual because he never finished the building as he put all of his money into it and his money eventually ran out. So it had no roof or floors. All it had was decorative stone walls and empty windows. It was a very strange place and in the middle of nowhere. I had never heard of it  or been there before (we had only recently moved into the area) but when we arrived I had an overwhelming feeling I had been there before. It actually triggered a memory which I'll describe. It was a summers evening, probably the end of summer because it was starting to feel cold. It was twilight and the sky was quite hazy and grey. I was walking through the unfinished building and I could feel that I was wearing a long dress as I walked. I looked down at the ground which was covered in gravel and my dress was pink and brown - quite scruffy and plain and I was wearing brown boots. It was very weird I still carry the memory to the day but I have no idea where it was from! Here is the place below.

I'd definitely pick to have my flying dream again.  I've had it more than once and can remember some of the details, but mostly, I could feel myself flying.  I'm kind of scared of heights...not so much of being high up, but of being high up and not secured to something.  I remember the actualy feeling of being in the air, looking down and getting light in my stomach.  I eventually taught myself how to fly.  It required a thought process, and if I stopped the process, I'd fall, though I never hit the ground.  It makes you feel like you can take over the world when you wake up.

Yes, I was living in a two-story house in WV. I was sleeping in the attic after some reading and something went by the light that startled me I said who's there no one answered. I notice my closet door quack open a little so I looked inside and saw two red glowing eyes looking right at me, so I close the closet door and went to my dad and we went back to my room and he open the closet door anw and shined a flashlight at that spot and that red glowing eyes vanish until he turned off the flashlight and it was back again.We went donwstairs and we looked at each other thinking we were crazy.Another was me and my mother was in the kitchen ,she was writing letters and I was washing dishes and we heard something strange sound coming from the wall next to the stove and followed the sound to only hearing breathing and seeing the wall in and out as if someone or something was presant. I got out of there. The every last time I was in the kitchen and mom and dad was in the livingroom watching tv and the wall started up and this time my dad came into the kitchen and this time the wall breath to "GET OUT" 3x's like that, the hairs all over stood on end I shaken all over and could't stay anymore in that house. Moved away to new location felt better and one New Year Eve I went with a friend to the store and I decided to see if that house was still there as I looked up this thing was greyish/white all over and the same red glowing eyes looking at me, I shaked again and my friend came out and came over were I was looking at this thing and it scared her too.I didn't believe in stuff like this now that has change.

This is becoming a little dry now. Maybe just change your meds, these hallucinations are effecting your sense of reality.

Well it might be just something in the AIR that you're alergic to. try & track you activities next time it happend. where were you when it happened & what were you doing? that might help you find any similarities with in your episodes.

This is one of the most common—and disturbing—nightmares that people have. The funny thing is, it’s not really a nightmare! \n\nWhat you are feeling when you are asleep and trying to wake up is a phenomenon known as “REM pressure.” Your body is trying to keep you asleep so it can continue dreaming. Why? Because you haven’t received your daily quota of REM! (Does your late night clubbing have anything to do with this? You bet!) \n\nWhen scientists first discovered REM in 1953, they began performing all sorts of tests to see how the body—and the mind—would react. For example, it was popular to believe that dreams released the psychological “pressures” of our subconscious minds. By extension, many people were quite sure that, if we didn’t dream, we all would simply go insane. \n\nOnly one way to test a theory, right? :-) \n\nBeing inquisitive minds, these scientists soon began recruiting subjects to experiment with REM deprivation. (To be fair, many of the scientists participated in the experiments themselves.) But the question remained: Would a REM-deprived person soon begin to hallucinate—and maybe hear voices during the day—as unconscious pressures began “seeping” into waking experience? \n\nThe answer, they soon learned, is no. REM-deprived patients are tired and grumpy, but they are not psychotic. What the scientists did learn, however, is that the body has an exceptionally strong drive to achieve REM sleep. Toward the end of the experiment, over 35 awakenings (per night) were required to prevent people from dreaming! (The body wants—and needs—its REM!!) It is significant to note that the experiment “ended” when the scientists no longer were able to keep their subjects awake. The subjects fell into a deep sleep, immediately began dreaming, and could not be awakened. \n\nWhat’s the moral of the story? You’re a little bit (maybe a lot!) REM-deprived. If you keep track of when these bouts of sleep paralysis occur, you will note that they almost always are associated with periods of sleep deprivation. Instead of your body waking up when your brain does, it’s asking you (well…insisting, really) that you let it sleep in a bit. The reason why you feel paralyzed is because you are! The body is unable to move during REM—so we don’t act out our dreams. \n\nWhat’s the good news? You’re not going insane! What’s the bad news? You may have to take a night off of your party schedule…to let your body catch up with your brain!
