DEAD AWAKE : Sleep Paralysis ( A Must Read ) by jiggaz(m): 10:55am On Jul 07, 2015 |
I saw dis article in a blog and all i can say is.... Nawa ooo... After punching on my laptop's keypad for five straight hours, my eyelids would have nothing but flap close. I staggered off, crashing on to my bed as I dozed off in two minutes. Then suddenly... The entire room is pitch dark and as silent as the grave yard. I thought I heard a sound from my window. Motionless, my body lies on the bed as my eyes quickly darts to the wall, suddenly the clock brightens in the dark, its 2:44 AM as I heard my window crashing, a one-eyed ghost-like creature with four sword-like-teeths struggling to break into my room. Jez! I screamed but my voice couldn't let the scream out, I made to jump out of bed but an unknown force suppresses. The "ghost's head, now in the room, roaring with mouth wide open; with massive teeth gnawing at me ravenously. Dead scared, I mustered all my strength to scream but my mouth just couldn't open. Helpless, I lay on my bed half asleep and half awake. I'm asleep but this sure isn't a dream because I know I'm about to be devoured, but unfortunately my body has failed to move. Then suddenly, the monster breaks in, charging at me with deathly ferocity then I feel a hand taping me on the chest; I broke fully awake. My girlfriend, Shazy just saved me from the monster in the dream I just had while I was wide awake. The above is my recent experience and I know many of you have had such frightening "dreams" which you think you are awake but you are really half-awake. It is called SLEEP PARALYSIS. Sleep paralysis is a phenomenon that occurs when a person wakes up from a sleep being unable to move, speak, or react. It usually occurs as a person is about to fall asleep or as they are about to wake up out of sleep, and is usually accompanied with breathing difficulties. This may not sound like a big deal for those who haven't experienced it, but it can be terrifying at times. You are totally paralyzed and unable to wake yourself up. When you are in a state of paralysis, it is the brains natural response to think that you are under attack, so your brain naturally enters into a state of "flight" mode. Sometimes, sleep paralysis is accompanied by hallucinations or the feeling that there is an intruder in the room. Some people even claim to sense the presence of demonic entities that sit on their chest, or aliens that stand over top of them. The most plausible scientific explanation is that it is thought to occur when the mind wakes up out of REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, the stage of sleep where most of your dreams occur. Every night during REM sleep the body shuts down virtually all muscle activity to prevent you from acting out those dreams). CAUSES OF SLEEP PARALYSIS Sleep paralysis is not fatal, some of the factors that cause it include physical fatigue, under-sleeping, erratic sleep schedule, stress, and an overuse of stimulants. Personally, under-sleeping and stress is what has caused most of my sleep paralysis experiences. Due to my job as a scriptwriter, I tend to have less sleep especially at night. WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU CAN'T MOVE. Due to fear and anxiety, you may try to fight it; No, don't ever try to fight it. The more you try, the longer it gets and all your efforts will be completely ineffective. If you wake up and realize you are in a state of sleep paralysis, don't resist it. The minute you resist it, you will start freaking out. Accept it and relax. Breathe in and out slowly and consciously, don't panic, just enter a meditative state of mind and it will shortly pass with time. You can give yourself a bad experience by what you choose to think about and where you allow your mind to wander to. It can only have power over you if you give it your power. HOW TO PREVENT SLEEP PARALYSIS. To prevent sleep paralysis, address the causes above. Have a proper sleep schedule. Another big way to prevent sleep paralysis is to not sleep in supine position. This is what supine position looks like: When you sleep flat on your back in supine position, your soft palate is more likely to collapse and obstruct your breathing. This causes you to wake up out of deep sleep while your body is still in a state of atonia from REM sleep. Sleeping on your stomach (in prone position) or on your side is a good way to prevent this from happening. When ever you experience this, don't sleep off immediately, it will come back; before you sleep back, put on the light and go wash your face. USING SLEEP PARALYSIS AS A SPIRITUAL ADVANTAGE. For those that have heard of astral travel and wish to experience it, this is the best chance to try to initiate an out- of-body experience or a lucid dream. Remember, some part of you remains in REM sleep while your waking mind is alert and attentive. Visualize and feel yourself leaving your body, stay calm in your mind and you will see yourself hovering over top of your own body. This may look scary but it’s an experience you would savor. I have come to realize that there is really nothing to be scared of in sleep paralysis or REM sleep. Nobody has ever died or been injured from being in sleep paralysis, and it usually doesn't last for more than 30 seconds. Rather the opposite on Sleep paralysis which manifests in people acting out dreams and sleep-walking is more risky. To avoid sleep paralysis, clean up your sleep schedule but if you feel like you're up to it, use is as a launching pad for the exploration of other dimensions.

Re: DEAD AWAKE : Sleep Paralysis ( A Must Read ) by Kingsasian(m): 11:13am On Jul 07, 2015 |
I have had experiences before but not as scary as yours. Although my first experience was so scary that I thought I was dead and I was in a state of panic but then later I learnt not to panic but to relax and wait while it last. Well I am saved from it now. Can't remember the last time I experienced it. |

This happens to me A LOT! I'd be awake but I won't be able to move, and suddenly I'd start losing my breath. I used to think it was some sort of demonic attack. Its really really scary as each time it happens, I'd be sure that I was goiing to die but suddenly I'd come out of the paralysis. Its a really terrible experience. And the thing is, when I begin to move, I start to wonder if it was a dream or not. I've not experienced it in one month now and I hope I won't experience it again. |

angieberry: Yes, I have experienced sleep paralysis before, but I have not tried that out of body experience before, but I have read accounts where it worked. |
Re: DEAD AWAKE : Sleep Paralysis ( A Must Read ) by angieberry(f): 11:49am On Jul 07, 2015 |
I never knew it was possible to OOBE with sleep paralysis until now. I'd love to try it but the fear of sleep paralysis won't allow me. misssclassy: |
Re: DEAD AWAKE : Sleep Paralysis ( A Must Read ) by Nobody: 12:00pm On Jul 07, 2015 |
angieberry: Yes it's kind of scary, but I have learned not to be scared when I experience it. I have experienced something like OOBE before. There was a time when I was having a really bad dream, and in this dream, I felt like there was no way out for me, I calculated everything and I knew there was no way of escape. I knew I was going to die. But right there in the dream, I noticed it was all a dream, and that my body was asleep. And in an instant, after I came to that realization, I moved into my body and woke up. The distance between my body and were I was, was like miles apart. Like we were in different realms or something. but still, I felt close to it. Like it we had some sort of connection. But the speed I used to enter my body was like in a split of a second. After that day, anytime I have a nightmare, I will just enter my body. It's now like I have some sort of control over my spirit. Like I can move from the dream world to the realm world if I want to. But to do that I must possess a strong emotion which is normally fear. Do you experience such? |
