Right so lately i've been experiencing weird things when I'm about to wake up in the morning. It's happened a couple of times in the past few months. Basically when I'm about to wake up, it feels like that I am awake, yet I can't move around and it also feels like I'm being sort of strangled.

It's weird, it feels like there's a force on top of me holding me down, and I only when I really move myself forcefully and hard does it "go away" - I can't just get up normally. Hard to explain it.

I remember someone saying it's along the lines of "your mind waking up, but your body hasn't"

It's weird, anyone else experienced it. It's also weird because it feels so much like someone is actually holding you down. And it's definitely not me dreaming, I know it's happened in real life.

Yeah, that's almost spot on. Right down to the Cultural References bit too. Interesting...

Sometimes people see/hear aliens or a devil. Saw it on TV.
Maybe use a webcam to film it.
You'll make a ton of money on metacafe, just call it "A demon holding me down" or something like that .
Good luck. Must be pretty scary...

It's sleep paralysis, i suffer from it too. There has been a thread on it sleep paralysis some time ago maybe worthwhile searching for it.

lol, I actually did kinda yell "get the fuck off me" when I couldn't move for abit and when I really had to force myself out of it. It ran through my mind but I never actually thought it was one, but it's strange how close it felt like it was someone (yes big and probably black) forcing me down.

The mind plays weird games.

I've had that too, it's freaky to put in all your physical effort yet remain pinned down. In my experiences there is something lurking at the foot of my bed or just outside the doorway. For me stress is the cause of such dreams, not had one in ages.

Like KylieTastic said, it's called sleep paralysis. It's prefectly normal and nothing to worry about. Has happened to me a couple of times. It's quite scary when you don't know what it is. It's just the body's way to prevent you from litterarly living your dreams

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

I get that too Mek-Izzle.
It hasn't happened to me in awhile, but your eyes are open but you can't move, and no matter how hard you try, it hurts and you can't do anything.

It's scary as hell.

That was me, and that's correct. There's another thread about this, as M3thod said. Worth a read.

Don't worry lol, it's just your mind playing tricks on you.

And I can't seem to find the other thread. Maybe it was during the 3 months that was lost when this forum was brought back online.

Trust me, you don't want it to happen to you. It's freaky as hell. Your eyes are half open and you can't move, no matter how hard you try.
