But, God didn't give us the spirit of fear. Now, the only person in my family that has experienced this is my older brother. Less than a minute later, I woke up & literally jumped outta my bed. So, in order to break out, I relaxed & closed my eyes. And, as soon as i realized what was going on, my breathing became very faint. But, it felt like they were moving In different directions. ![]() then I fell asleep and about 10min later, I woke up. I was laying on my side with my right hand on top of my left hand, in my bed, facing the wall. It was only 6.50am and yet I felt like it was happening for ages. When I finally came to, I ran down to my mums room in a panic, feeling stupid now as I am 22. It felt so real as if I was screaming for my mum and trying to drag myself out but nothing. I can't remember when the dreams stopped, but now I am 22 and live in a new house with my family, over the past few months I have been having night terrors and not sleeping well, but last night was different, I couldn't sleep until around 6am and when I did I felt like I was awake and could feel something or someone in my room, I felt literally frozen, like some sort of forcefield I couldn't get past, I was screaming into my pillow and at the top of my lungs but no sound would come out, as if I didn't have it in me. When I was little I used to have a recurring dream where I could hear my house being robbed, I would walk out of my bedroom to walk down the stairs to tell my mum and dad but when I reached the stairs I froze, I could not scream or move and I would be terrified. Thanks for sharing again, and feel free to write any more follow-up thoughts using the "Post Comments" link below :) A lot of visitors write in to this site about sleep paralysis, and learning about how they deal with their episodes or realizing that you're not alone in it can definitely be of some value.Īlso, have you had the chance to talk to your roommate or any other friends about this yet? Sometimes being able to chat and laugh about it with the people who you will be seeing soon after you have any episodes can be really comforting. Understanding that it's the result of a very natural process and is rather common (most people will experience at least one episode at some time during their life) is the best tool to defend against the fear and anxiety that can rise up while you are in the middle of an episode, as you describe.Īnother thing that may help with this is reading about the sleep paralysis experience of others. And now that you're experiencing episodes with some frequency, you should try to learn about why sleep paralysis happens, if you don't already know. You give such a perfect description of what sleep paralysis usually feels like. Kevin: Hey Meghan, thanks so much for sharing this. I'm afraid to sleep now, and don't know what to do differently. It scares me not to be able to move, I am trying so hard to open my eyes, and yell for my roommate, or pound on the wall.only to have no success. What's weird is the fact that I feel like I'm going through hell while experiencing this, but I wake up feeling totally fine. I felt like as soon as that happened, I fell right back into the paralysis, and then eventually became unfrozen. Today it happened, and I couldn't move, I tried very hard to break through the "force" and was slowly able to move my fingers/hands and eventually opened my eyes. Overall it has happened frequently over the past 3 weeks. ![]() ![]() I can recall a few experiences that happened when I was living at home as well. I am currently living in the dorms at school, and have experienced this about 3-4 times since I moved in.
