I have gotten it before. My eyes were open but I couldn't move a muscle. didn't experience buzzing/rushing noises. I did what you suggest and turned it around. Great experience. I'd love for it to happen again.

OH YEAH ... not a very good feeling, being detached.  I have also felt like I was, literally, in a dream.  It was weird, like no one saw me but I saw them.  It wasn't like I was being ignored, just as if I was watching "life" go on and kinda like I was a ghost.  Is that what you meant?

I know exactly what you are talking about... I seem to be conscious, yet I cannot move... I see everything that's around me in the dark room, my eyes seem to be open, but are they ?   .. how long this lasts, I dont know, but I'm conscious enough to say to myself, "this is just a dream, its going to go away"\nIt has happened several times to me to be dreaming especially about flying and saying to myself, "When I wake up, this is what I'll do to be able to leave the ground, its so easy" \nOr to dream about places I've never been to in real life, but to which I go back often in my dreams.  Dreams are weird things but without them we would not be able to live.  I'm only surmising this, but I wonder if its not the brain winding down after so much activity during the day.

It sounds like a group of sleep disorders starting with Sleep Apnea, Narcolepsy with hallucinations. A simple sleep study test could answer your questions. I would contact my doctor and talk to him about your problem. Remember The Son Of Sam also heard voices. The reason I am mentioning this I also had a similar problem. Instead of hearing noises I would start having soft hallucinations. At first visions and sounds where more entertaining then frightening. I called them Looney Tunes. But, after a while they changed and became a nuisance and they started to concern me quite a bit. With proper medical intervention I am doing and feeling much better.

It is sleep paralysis..and I have had them for quite awhile. They can be scary but are completley harmless and it is acutally a sleep disorder. I seem to get them more when I am stressed out about something. And just to give you another piece of advice...sleep paralysis almost always happens when you are lying on your back.   Try sleeping on your stomach or side.

Ask a psychologist then ask a doctor. It could be a form of sleep paralysis. But it would be sleep paralysis where the person isn't conscious. Are the person's legs and arms stiff in the morning, or sore? Do they just suddenly raise? Do  they know that they are doing it (besides someone telling them)?

Ah ha. I used to have this all the time. You are sleeping or falling asleep then suddenly you can't move at all, it usually happens while on your back. It is very frightening at 1st and to me have been more nightmarish but I later read a book (sorry I can't remember the tittle) the author believes they are our like out of body experiences. I found that very interesting being that in all my sleep paralysis, my dreams were super real like meaning I could see the room around me without distortions. If you learn to control the paralysis feeling and go with it without being fear you will supposedly leave your body sleeping and you can wander the other realms in your spirit body, the book claimed.

You should read into astral projection. A lot of people do it during thier sleeping hours and do not know it. The symptoms youre stating sound like what I've read about astral projection gone wrong. :) Study up on it to see if it is something you are doing and then learn to control it.

You should see a doctor.  This could be narcolepsy or another significant neurological problem.

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.

Your subconcious is trying to tell you something.  Is there something in your life that you feel is holding you back?  It could be affecting your sleep.\n\nIt also sounds like night terrors.  Most abduction stories are really night terrors.  They occur when the body wakes up from REM sleep too fast and your body hasn't had the chance to reactivate.

I'm assuming you mean sleep paralysis.\n\nThe precise cause is not actually known; it is believed to be a neurologic malfunction.  In normal sleep, your body is periodically put into non-movement mode; one of the theories (not necessarily proven) is that the paralysis occurs by the same mechanism at an inappropriate time.

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.....)(

Are you going to analyze?? If so, I've got one that'll give you nightmares!\n\nK. I had this dream years ago and it scared the hell out of me! I was in this huge, beautiful house with windows from the marble floor to the 24 ft. ceilings. I lived there with a few roommates but they were out for the night. It was dark out and the only light I had on was the television. Sitting on the sofa, I saw a glimmer of light in the sky out of the window about twenty ft. to my left. I knew it wasn't a star by the brightness, but I couldn't figure out what it was. I stood up and walked over to the window. The bright light grew bigger as if it were coming toward me quickly, but it was obviously many miles away. \n\nI kept watch and after about 90 seconds, I realized that it was heading right for my house! I panicked and couldn't figure out where to go due to the fact that I couldn't estimate its size. All the sudden, SMASH!!! Huge explosion! My natural reaction was to get on the floor and cover my head. When I realized that I was still alive, I looked up.\n\nIt was a fighter jet and it was lodged into the walls of the corridor. I couldn't believe it! Dry wall was everywhere, the smoke was blinding and sticking to my throat, but I had to investigate. \n\nI slowly walked over to the craft and I remember ducking under it and when I came out on the opposite side, in my periferal vision, was the pilot. He too was lodged in the wall, dead. I refused to look at him, so I just tried to keep moving down the hall, but as I passed him, his helmet fell onto my head. I flipped out! I threw the helmet off of me, completely grossed out, and then as I ran my fingers through my hair, I felt something. I pulled from my hair, a chunk of bloody flesh from the pilots scalp. Again, I freaked!\n\nWhat made me gain my composure was this extremely bright, white light consuming a window at the end of this hallway. I slowly approached it, with a lot of apprehension and then all the sudden, a figure appeared. It was a girl sitting indian-style on the window sill. The white light behind her made her look angelic, not to mention the fact that she was wearing white! Finally, I recognized her. Her name was Monique, and she had been a friend of mine in highschool. We lost contact after she became involved with an abusive boyfriend. It had been many years since I had seen her. Anyway, she's sitting in the window with all this white light around her, and she asks me to come closer to her. I refused. I just had a bad feeling about it. Really hesitant and scared like if I go, I may not come back! That's when I woke up.

I haven't actually encountered a ghost, but I have encountered waking up, and not being able to move, like my whole body is paralyzed, and not being able to open my eyes.  All I can do is squint.  I have then felt someone touch me, another time I felt a kiss on my forehead, and one time I did see a shadow of someone. (maybe a ghost)  Meanwhile, I couldn't move thru all of this.
