Has this ever happend while you slept?

Last night when i was asleep i felt like i woke up but my whole body could not move what so ever like i was paralyzed and i tried to move as hard as i could but my arms and legs wouldn't move an inch.

I finally woke up and felt like i was out of breath.

It's called sleep paralysis. It's fairly common.

I first heard of it while watching the discovery channel about 8 years ago. Then again, I remember a lot as it is.

I have expirenced this only once in my life upon waking.

It's sleep paralysis and yes it has happened to me on numerous occasions.stevenk4k5

This happens once in a while to m. Only I am awake. Actually it only happens when I wake up and I'm not ready to get up. I absolutely hate it and think it's one of the worst feelings ever.

It's called sleep paralysis. It's very common. I've experienced auditory and visual hallucinations during these, one time I thought a vampire was sitting on my dresser, but I could only see it out of the corner of my eye.

Usually the part where you're paralyzed is a very realistic dream, accompanied by nightmarish themes. orazinac

I have those sometimes. I can hear someone talking to me. One time I could actually feel hands on me.

It is actual paralysis. You are paralyzed while you sleep, it is what keeps you from getting around doing things while you're dreaming.

Isolated Sleep Paralysis.

I get it often, and for me it usually comes along with some truly horrific hallucinations. I've seen some scary things that would blow your mind...

It does because it happens during very intense, realistic nightmares. I remember I was paralyzed while a little, shredded up little girl climbed through a mirror at the foot of my bed and started slowly creeping up towards my face. As soon as she almost got to me I jumped up out of my sleep (like they do in the movies, lol).

I've gotten it at least 3 times and I can't remember any hallucinations.

It's like i'm awake but I cant move and it only happens when it's dark.

Yeah. Ever wake up with the sensation of someone snuggling with you from behind? It's happened twice now and it's been really akward both times.

For the record, I've never snuggled with anyone.

YES!

And sometimes, when I have a dream, I can never talk out loud.

Ive had it happen 2 other times and i thought it was me but yea i had a guy in a "dream" stab me with a knife and when i could finally move my chest hurt really bad. Ive also seen myself walk down my stairs and meet a undead who ran at me and went to bite me on the neck but i woke up right before it happened.

Is there any way I can make this happen on purpose? I want to try it :PTsunami23

As cool as it sounds when you start to see the crazy psycho dreams its not fun.

Imagine you inside the movie SAW in one of the traps and right before you die you wake up.

well then youll just have to wait and see on the wikipedia page it says most people expierence it once or twice in there lifetime.

No, but that happens when you wake abruptly from REM sleep.Bloodaxe726

Ah, I get it now. My friend was telling me about that, and I first half thought him crazy. But I guess it's legit, hey?

i think it did when i was younger(like 5), i had a nightmare and i couldnt call my parents and i remember being horrified.

sometimes i wake up with my arm asleep though, feels like it is paralyzed.

Yes, it's called "sleep paralysis". Did you hallucinate? That happened to me when I experienced it, it might not happen all the time though.

sleep paralysis is a pretty scary feeling. I've had times where I thought I woke up from a nightmare but I wasn't really awake and I was screaming but nothing was coming out of my mouth. andyboiii

That's the worst. I have that a lot.

cant say i have ever had that happen

I once "woke up" and there was a green thing running around my bed and I tried to kick it, but my leg wouldn't move.harashawn
