I'm quite confident aliens have abducted me on more than one occasion. It happens when I'm sleeping, and I have the marks to prove it. Should I see a counselor or some other educator like a shrink? Do I need a perscription medication to help me fend off these nightime invaders who so love to abscond with me when I'm not conscious to fend them off?

I cannot say whether or not you have truly been 'abducted by aliens", but whether you have or not, the belief that you have regarding that issue is the primary concern. Who have you spoken to about this and have they been of any help?? Do you live alone or with family? How old are you and when do you remember these "abductions" first taking place? Is there any physical evidence of your abductions available?? What do you base your belief of this primarily on?? Do you live with anyone that might be the cause of the marks you have?;  and perhaps you are avoiding remembering these episodes because it would only cause you more pain and confusion.... I would be willing to speak with you about this if you like. I cannot explain my interest in this via e-mail. It is personal....

I don't know if your question is serious or not, but if it is...from reading literature about UFOs and alien abductions, it seems like they were abducted by aliens. Only hypnosis will help them remember what happend during the two and half hours they don't remember.

If you are constantly in the REM phase of sleep I would recommend seeing a psychiatrist.  Although you probably do feel energized upon getting out of bed I am positive that it is not healthy because of the things accomplished in Deep Sleep and Stages 3-4

I was saddened to see that an a$$hole showed up before I could answer you, but maybe it is a blessing in disguise. There will always be those out there who are willing and even anxious to see you stumble, and the sooner you develop coping skills for dealing with them, too the better off you'll be. But I want to congratulate you on your choice for recovery, and I wish for you every good thing life has to offer. One day at a time. Be well.

I am interested. Set up a video survailence, but be sure to hide it somewhere discreet, but make sure it covers the area. Go to the same place again or something and record it when this alien comes.\n\nEmail me at Digitalpimp0101@yahoo.com if you find anything else.\n\nAlso did the alien look like this? ::\n\nhttp://images.theglobeandmail.com/archives/RTGAM/images/20031119/wjack1/jackson_done2.jpg\n\n                       OR \n\nhttp://www.alienshift.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/.pond/gray_alien_50yrs_of_denial.jpg.w300h243.jpg

I not only do this during the day but at night also.  I esp think of the past, relationships gone bad and wonder why i cant let go of it.  And i go over and over the things i need to do etc.  I tried for a long time to just think of something else etc, of course that would lead to other racing, worrying thoughts, its called acute anxiety disorder.  Of course the doctors have labeled yet another disorder!!!What to do?  Medicine oh yes they will prescribe it, but its only a temp fix and doesnt always work. So, I recently talked to my doc and i am going to now start counseling.  Obviously, we have to much going on in our brains to deal with while were awake,unlike most, but we are letting to much from our pasts go.  Leaving it to spill over into our daily lives, causing alot of anxiety. Honestly, i am a bit nervous about going, but, what the hell do i have to lose, more sleep. lol.  So, it does make sense to me that i have some things i need to resolve from days gone by.. \n\nJust my thoughts, good luck

This is a recurring dream I had as a teenager. (I believe it is directly related to watching WAY too much tv.)\n\nIt always started out as me being kidnapped.  I was of course, eventually rescued after a globe trotting chase, by a long haired rock star.  We married and became missionaries.\n\nThis isn't the weird part.  The weird part follows.\n\nJust before I wake up....right before....this phrase flashes.  "To be continued!"  with a voice following tune in next time...\n\nEither the following night or a week later my dream would continue.  It would show flashes of the previous dream and continue on with the story.\n\nThe story continued with my and my rock star husband adopting a boy from a third world country.  \n\nBut like I said, they weird part was the fact that my dream had TWO PARTS!!!\n\nThis is REALLY true.

no, but i heard a lot of this stories. it may be true, but you should know whether it's true or not. how many years has passed since that incident? if you haven't encounter any problem with your body, then it is, perhaps, a dream. but if you have illness or other problem, then consider it to be one of the alien abduction cases. seeing your body or floating out of your body may be near-death experience, but in this case, the possibilities is low. try not to think too much about this, and get on with your life, IF nothing is wrong with your health.

Hey there Orditz!  Hope you are doing well in Australia...  Greetings to you from us in Singapore.\n\nI don't think it's "narcolepsy."  That's a condition where somebody who is awake can't stay awake.  Somebody with narcolepsy will fall asleep at any time, including while driving (a very dangerous problem).\n\nThere are a number of reasons why somebody might have trouble "waking up."  If, for example, you've been working out a lot, your body might be in need of extra rest as a way to repair what you're doing to it (in a good sense).  I know that if I'm doing a lot of extra/different physical training, this will happen.\n\nMy partner Alain suffers from apnea sometimes, and this disrupts his sleep patters once in a while.  This will (naturally) impact his ability to "wake up" at a normal time (albeit we have a cat named Malcolm who has figured out how to wake each of us up...  for me, he'll push off the covers, but for Alain he'll bite his ears!).  \n\nThere's a part of the brain called the renticular activating area that sort of makes us wake up or become alert...  We can control that to some degree, but sometimes not, depending on the level of fatigue.\n\nThat zone between wake and sleep can be really fun...  Not to be too silly here, but this afternoon Alain and I had some "quality time without the cat" (you can figure out what I mean here...), and it happened to be in the afternoon after I got back from my 14k run.  We were dozing a little, and it was cool to be able to sort of direct the "dreams" that I'd have in the short segments of dozing afterwords...  You can direct the little dream partitions that way, and it's really nice...\n\nOf course, Malcolm the Cat came in at 5:00pm and started chewing on Alain's ears since it was dinner time as far as he was concerned!!!\n\nBut normally if we can't seem to "wake up" at our normal time, we're probably either staying up too late or doing something with our bodies (like working out in a different or harder way) that is making us need more rest.\n\nHope this helps, and all the best to you!\nmz

Yes this is normal. Sleep Paralysis is a common event where the mind and body start the relaxation process. When asleep the connection between the behavior of your mind and the response of your body is turned off. If it was not it is likely that you would hurt yourself as you body started acting out it's dreams. You know how when you are starting to fall asleep and you kick out or twitch in response to something you are dreaming about, same deal.\n\nIt is possible that your mind and body are not following the same pattern, that you body is shutting down before you mind can follow, or that your mind is waking before you body can follow. This is the state that is known as Sleep Paralysis. My whole family suffers from it.\n\nInterestingly, most people experience similar things when in this state. The feeling of a presence or of a pressure on your chest. A panicking feeling is also normal. People who have claimed to be abducted by aliens or visited by dead relatives have often been found to be suffering from this issue.\n\nThere are many resources online about this condition and I encourage you too look for them. This is a normal natural experience.

This is only a suggestion.  Get away from the psychiatrists and psychiatric drugs.  Read the book, "Dianetics, The Modern Science of Mental Health".  It is available in all the major bookstores and only costs about $6 in paperback.  Reading it may give you some insights on why you have these reactions.  It worked for me :)

Why immediately blame aliens?  Why can't it be something much closer to home?\nHow could you possibly get something out that is NOT EVEN THERE? How do you know you have a probe?\nI mean, get real.  Do you really believe that aliens would cross thousands of light years in their spaceship, select your bedroom and your behind for inserting an anal probe?  And what do you believe alien would gain by doing that?  Do you really believe your behind is so important to advanced life forms from outer space that they must stuff something in it?\nThe best explanation is that you fell off you bed and that is what hurt your butt.  And coming up with an explanation that involves aliens means you must have hurt your head also.

You need to forget your dreams, and to take them blue pills, but if you are on to something, then I'll say yes they are visiting us and whisper things to come in our ears when we sleep. There is belief in a rotation of the universe, as well as the planet and celestrial bodies in motion. A better question, is  where are we going?

I have the same problem... I can fall alseep once 7am comes around but never at night, I feel like night time wake something up inside of me.  I took Ambien for 10 days and it only worked like 7 out of the ten but i stopped because i didnt want to become relient on them.  Anywho what works for me but sucks at the same time is just staying up... Meaning if you normally go to bed say at 7am and wake at 2 pm... dont do it and just stay up till the next night, without any naps.  I find this helps me sometimes and if i dont get tired i will stay up even longer till the next night to sleep and if you keep doing this then your body will adjust.  Staying up just for 1 night can make your body clock out of wack... thats what usually happens when i do that. :)

You aren't alone, honey- I started getting similar things at around 18yrs old. (I am very aware, amparalyzed and cannot speak at all)\n\nWe aren't alone, either. There are many informative websites on sleep paralysis and night terrors. \n\nThere is research being done at the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.  See website below. Also, some info on wikipedia.\n\nScientists may attribute it to neurological issues. \nSpiritual ppl may attribute it to spiritual/demonic attacks.\nFor me, I speak as a Christian who has experienced many similar episodes: I believe that there is a combination of both science/spirit involved... I have also found relief in praying to Jesus during the attacks.  The attacks are much less frequent now \n\n-You may want to talk to a pastor or somebody that you trust to pray for you. \n-You may also want to keep a sleep-log and see if certain foods, situations, etc may be related to these events. -During the attacks, try to relax and take deep breaths 'fighting it' can sometimes make it last longer. Try not to be afraid of falling asleep.\n-You may also want to mention it to your physician.\n\nGood luck and sweet dreams!\n\n:)
