yeah u say are completely right....it completely fact to me...it so scary!!! dat why i alway dun dare to sleep.... anyway thankOriginally posted by dreamykite:my friends encounter this often while studying overseas. 2 friends. 1 cried out and wanted to stop studying, the other experienced like an old bird (she is a very strong lady, dont think i can be like her).
the exp one said that u will hear some strange frequency sound before such thing (pressing while sleeping) happen. then they will let this 'pressing' pass. but my the other friend burn incenses to remove such 'thing'
people say is due to stress, but my cried friend said that she also felt she has entered another world. she said this thing happened after she came back from shopping. do u think she is stressed?
what make me afraid is that in ur dream she said she will be back... u sure? i wonder if u know her.
some friend wanted me to send u this www.spiritualresearchfoundation.org -

Tt just your sub-conscious mind. Think it has sth to du with REM or sth li tt.Originally posted by dumbdumb!:hmm. pray ba. my dad when he first became a christian, he was attacked at night a few times. only after the cell came together to pray then ok.
lol but i've got a question, have you guys ever like, sleep, then dreamt that you were falling or maybe trip or smth and falling to the floor, then wake up with a jerk. like your body react when you fall?
that happens to me haha.
Go watch the navy seals hellweek video on youtube. When they were allowed the chance to sleep, many of the seal cadets' legs and hand were jerking away. The instructor explains it that their active minds still believed the body was in the training mode. Anyway it happened to me so many times, its quite common. Tt time in the car, I woke up with a jerk and banged my head against the window.
As for the TS's question, yes, I am positively sure its sleep paralysis. No biggie, happened to me before too. At first I thot it was SARs, cause it first happened during the SARs period. Haha.
Normally, the breathlessness or the pressing feeling will wear off before you wake up really gasping for air like a drowning person. Tt was my case, so I didnt really care much. But still, the feeling of the inability to expand your chest when you wake up can still be quite shocking.

I also encountered this during my Sec 4 days. It had happened to me for many nights in for at least a few months before I finally chased it away
I a scientific person but i am not convinced at all by the sleep paralysis explanation. It feels very different from any dream or nightmares that I have.
Even after at least 20 years, I still remember clearly that I was struggling for my life because that thing was pressing on me! It seemed like a suffocating feeling causing difficulty to breathe. I would often wake up in great fear after each struggle and would look around me for that thing! On many days, I started praying and chanting before I go to sleep but it still happened. I would appear normal during the day at home and at school and forgetting about the incident but each night just before sleep, I would become scared.
It is not until one day, I decided to be brave and fight it. For a few nights in a row I struggled and tried to challenge against it in my sleep. Finally, it felt as if I won. I struggled and managed to wake up and I seemed to saw that thing fleet very quickly away. Without my glasses that thing just seemed like a grey stuff and it vanished in a split second. But from that day on, that pressing feeling was gone.
From that experience on, I've learnt not to be afraid of them and to face them bravely if they ever try again on me. In fact, I had another encounter of a small girl crying in Area D at around 6am during my in my NS days but I was much cooler in handling those situations.
Perhaps you too can try and be brave and face it and drive it away.
cheers -

Is there a beam on the ceiling, and you are sleeping under this beam?
At least in Feng Shui, it is said that if you sleep under beam, you will feel something pressing against you - and hence you cannot sleep well.
Solution: shift your bed so that you do not sleep directly under the beam.

I'm pretty convinced it's sleep paralysis. It's so amuzing reading so many posts about it and how some brave ones overcame it. There are so many people, including myself, who suffered or are suffering from it.
Decades ago, when I was about 16, I too got very scared when I first experienced it and thought it was some ghost or spirits holding me down. After many many scary episodes, I started to wonder why it happened only some of the times. I started to take note of the time, the day, the month, sleeping posture, etc. Finally, I noticed that the paralysis only happened whenever my arms were stretched out above my head. IT WAS THAT SIMPLE. From then onwards, even till today, whenever I begin to have this paralysis feeling, I just re-position my arms to my waist and the paralysis would subside immediately.
I cannot conclude that this remedy applies to everyone. You have to observe what posture works best. I don't even want to conclude that sleep paralysis is due to sleeping posture. It may be due to stress or emotions. Be brave and find a solution. -

Excellent explaination of a rather common phenomena

I always keep an open mind, I read about sleep paralysis, it may be real & common to some pple, but not every case must be sleep paralysis. Some of us know themselves & our body(health)... it's not due to stress, too tired, etc. For those who travel may hv come across certain hotel room which give the this 'sleep paralysis' experience.
It happened to me ONCE & i know im not in a 'stressful' state, i know wat was going on & think about it for a few days. I believe it's not sleep paralysis. Spirture disturbance could be the reason, but believe or not it's up to individual.
It's never harmful to hv more approach when looking for help, if u believe it's sleep paralysis, see a doctor. if u r cured good 4 u, if not, u could always look for elsewhere answers. -
its called sleep paralysis, happens to me all the time.

Every time I have a "strange encounter" I will be like "Hey this is so cool! Let me try to "talk" to "it" and "communicate with "it".... " *haiz* no such luck.... 99% of the time, I am disappointed and that 1% of the time, it was not scary at all....

step1. stay calm
step2. visualise that u can just spring up in 1 sec,
step3. imagine step2 for many times
step4. when u have the fake' momentum' just spring up....
tis is called challenging the spirit wid ur subconcious mind, always remember that u will WIN!
