the force is strong in your family...Originally posted by JennTS:just curious.....how many of your get it? and how often?
i used to get it pretty frequently when it first started when i was 12, but now its alot less, like once every 1 - 2 months. i think it because its caused when your really tired, and i've been resting more lately.
and umm, what happens in your sleep paralysis anyway?
for me im kinda paralyzed (duh) and my entire body just keeps shaking. sometimes the sounds which i hear get mutilated into really horrible noises and a few times i sorta see stuff.
one really scary incident was when i stayed up really late and somehow i just knew i was gonna get sleep paralysis as i was walking to my bedroom. sure enough less than an hour after i slept i had a nightmare and i woke up in sleep paralysis. same thing...paralyzed and shaking, then i saw a ghost walking up the stairs into my room. moment i woke up i grabbed my stuff and ran into my parents room.
sometimes i do feel like i cant breath though, but i never felt as if anyone was sitting on my chest or anything like that.
my sister on the other hand gets totally different stuff, like all those out of the body experiences. sounds kinda cool.....wish i could try that. but nooo, all i get is scary shit.
also errr, how do you get out of it?
usually i just use all my strength and try to move my wrist as far as i can. its not that far, just from my right to my left or vice versa. about 10 - 20cm away, but its really hard.
other times i just have to wait and eventually it goes off. thats usually when i see stuff cause im still sorta dreaming in a way but i know im in sleep paralysis. sorta once i was in sleep paralysis and i dreamt that i got out of it already. then a few seconds later i get out of it then i wake up and realize that it wasn't real.
