Does anyone here get sleep paralysis?
This just happened to me, be aware that it is a waking dream and not reality. This may sound frightening, but if you've had sleep paralysis, I'm sure you've had similar experienes. I've been getting sleep paralysis for several years now, and it happens at least twice a month. What is happening is that I'm basically half awake and half asleep and your brain is still turned off. It always starts the same way. I wake up (well I'm half awake) and realize that I can't move. Then I hear buzzing and occasionally the room gets brighter. Then, most of the time, I see something open my door and move across the room. The entire time I fight to break the paralysis, but usually to no avail. Eventually, the figure that enters my room makes its way to my bedside and jumps on my chest and it feels like I can't breathe (although in reality I can). Then the figure will start screaming gibberish and strangling me. Finally, my paralysis breaks and the room is just dark. Nothing happened. Has anyone else gotten that before? I think it's a common occurence for about 4% of the population or so. I know it isn't real but it's still frightening.
