i have this reocurring weirdass thing that happens when i try to go to sleep....

i'll close my eyes, slip into a nice snooze then all of a sudden, im like half-awake half-dreaming..i feel like im literally gonna die, i try to wake myself up but i cant. and when i do, i have this feeling of post-drunkeness. its quite scary.

Also, the "dreams" i dream, have me in a life-threatening situation and i am soo helpless.

thanks for reading, its hard to put into words.

(P.S. lol i dreamt about deadlifting and i almost had a wet dream...yeah just wanted to share that)

yeah...dreams can be pretty freaky. I constantly have extremely violent dreams where someone is trying to kill me. I almost always kill them right before they get me and its usually in the most disgusting way imaginable....like slicing off their nose then stabbing them in the neck. Thing is, I'm not a violent person AT ALL and I definately dont have a temper problem.

Sometimes I dream that there is someone in my room standing right next to my bed and they are about to kill me, I try like hell to wake myself up but I feel like I'm tied down. Not cool.

I will have the same stuff happens when I am stressed out or have a lot on my mind. My body will be tired, but my mind is going real fast. I experience the same thing. When it happens I have to sleep with the lights or tv on.

Do you feel like you're conscious but can't move - you want to scream but you can't? Perhaps a sensation of pressure on your chest or difficulty breathing? The sensation of an evil presence, or that someone is watching you? Is there a strange noise, like a loud rushing, or buzzing, or ringing, or the feeling that there are people talking in the next room but you can't understand them?

yeah tommyboy you have sleep paralysis, i get it too, time for wiki!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_paralysis

That's the general gist of it, its nasty as hell waking up and being aware but not being able to move or speak.

Used to get it a lot as a kid and a teenager, dont get it so much now, though as it mentions in the above article lucid dreaming, which sometimes occurs.

Lucid dreaming is a weird thing...Not even sure if i have done it...sounds similar.

I would roll off some dream text and freudian like nonsense and translate all your dreams, but itd be bullshit Smile

I wonder if the old hag is part of the collective unconscious?

I remember having that feeling as a kid. Did lots of research on it over the summer one year and looked into lucid dreams and out of body experiences. Spent the whole summer trying to achieve them and had one lucid dream and 3.5 out of body experiences.

Pretty cool stuff

The Body doesnt release certain neurotransmitters during REM sleep, this paralyzes the body and prevents it from moving during REM sleep (Leg movement if someone is running in a dream ect.). We talked a little about it in my Cognition class (I think it was cognition). It's called REM Atonia (I think), the mind wakes up before the paralysis from REM sleep has ended.

Btw the old hag part of it from what I understand is that some people to claim to feel a sense of terror and a great weight on their chest when this is happening. This led to people saying that an old hag (witch) was sitting on their chest, seems like a strange leap to me.


---> Edit: It is called REM Atonia, found it in my notebook. Googled the word and found this article, might actually be helpful Tommyboy http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=9811
