I've had the sleep paralysis thing happen since I was 8 yrs old. Usually it happens as I'm waking up. It seems like the more tired I am the worse it can be. Just as I'm waking up I feel a lot of pressure all over me, like something strong is holding you down. Then I realize my mind is awake, I can see, hear, and slightly move my arms but basically my body is still asleep...I guess. Over the years I found that if I just relax and breathe deeply for a minute I seem to just pop out of it. Seriously, I always hear a loud pop or cracking sound and then suddenly I'm just awake. Tons of fun<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif" border="0">

Hi Wanderlost, thank you for your reply. I wasn't sure if to post the question or not, been googling all night and nothing is coming up even remotely close to what my experiences are like...
here is what happened last night:
went to bed fine no problems. Pete got home around 11:30 cuddled for a while and then attempted to go back to sleep. Pete started snoring so I went to my own room.....Didn't wanna keep him awake by poking him all night or by me being kept awake...
Was not in my own bed for more then 10 minutes when I felt a pressure on the bed beside me (I was laying on my right side facing the wardrobe. I thought wrinkles had gotten on the bed but when I went to turn over to see if it was him I felt a pressure and then the rush, almost like when the plug has been pulled from a full tub of water a rush down.... Heart was beating fast as I plummeted down. I panicked which I usually don't do. And I started calling out for pete, screaming his name, when he didn't come to me I started yelling out for help over and over and over again, and then banging on the wall trying to attract his attention or the dogs attention. (obviously because I am not in my body any more)
I was hysterical trying to get him to come to me, but he didn't.
I am fully aware of my surroundings, and I am fully aware that I am NOT asleep but my body is completely paralysed and cant move. Any attempt to move my body is fruitless.
Eventually the rushing stops and I wiggle my foot and I realise I am back in my body my heart still racing I am confused as to what just happened... am I leaving my body? Am I awake? How could I be aware of my surroundings if I am not awake?
I am pretty sure my eyes are open, but cannot be sure.... Pretty sure I was banging on the wall with my right fist kneeling on the bed but when I was able to move I am still lying on my side...(again if I am not in my body it won't have moved)
This has happened on roughly 4-5 separate occasions and each time I was aware of everything that was happening but unable to move or stop it... the rushing downward is the most evident feeling. I have not visualised anything but I have still been able to hear things that are going on like the dogs moving on their mats or pete breathing or shifting in bed either beside me or in the other room, this time I knew pete was in the other room and I was in my room with my dogs....
In all other instances I have not been afraid, but I have not felt the floating peace sensation that I have read most OBE people have spoke of.... each time its been the furious rush down..... first time I thought it was a fluke, 2nd time I knew what was happened and wasnt as freaked out....
Suppose Im just trying to figure out what it is, what it means. Is it a subliminal message, is it my donor, is it a warning....
I am keeping a log so I have an idea of how often it's happening? and hopefully I will take more notice of the time so I can see how long I am gone...
anyway, anyone else I would appreciate your input</end quote></div>
Do some research on sleep paralysis - that's it. I am even part of a sleep paralysis community. If I have more time I will find you some good links, but for now, I suggest you start googling.
It is interesting to read further into Sp stuff about the OBE situation - they are pretty closely connected and you can sort of see two ways of thinking - Sp sufferers have an Sp episonde and <i>think</i> it's an OBE, or, an SP episode opens the door to true OBEs and lucid dreams. I vote for the latter, at least in trhe wake of lucid dreams as I have had them.

(obviously because I am not in my body any more)
I was hysterical trying to get him to come to me, but he didn't.
I am fully aware of my surroundings, and I am fully aware that I am NOT asleep but my body is completely paralysed and cant move. Any attempt to move my body is fruitless.
Eventually the rushing stops and I wiggle my foot and I realise I am back in my body my heart still racing I am confused as to what just happened... am I leaving my body? Am I awake? How could I be aware of my surroundings if I am not awake?
I am pretty sure my eyes are open, but cannot be sure.... Pretty sure I was banging on the wall with my right fist kneeling on the bed but when I was able to move I am still lying on my side...(again if I am not in my body it won't have moved)
This has happened on roughly 4-5 separate occasions and each time I was aware of everything that was happening but unable to move or stop it... the rushing downward is the most evident feeling. I have not visualised anything but I have still been able to hear things that are going on like the dogs moving on their mats or pete breathing or shifting in bed either beside me or in the other room, this time I knew pete was in the other room and I was in my room with my dogs....
In all other instances I have not been afraid, but I have not felt the floating peace sensation that I have read most OBE people have spoke of.... each time its been the furious rush down..... first time I thought it was a fluke, 2nd time I knew what was happened and wasnt as freaked out....
Suppose Im just trying to figure out what it is, what it means. Is it a subliminal message, is it my donor, is it a warning....
I am keeping a log so I have an idea of how often it's happening? and hopefully I will take more notice of the time so I can see how long I am gone...
anyway, anyone else I would appreciate your input</end quote></div>
Do some research on sleep paralysis - that's it. I am even part of a sleep paralysis community. If I have more time I will find you some good links, but for now, I suggest you start googling.
It is interesting to read further into Sp stuff about the OBE situation - they are pretty closely connected and you can sort of see two ways of thinking - Sp sufferers have an Sp episonde and <i>think</i> it's an OBE, or, an SP episode opens the door to true OBEs and lucid dreams. I vote for the latter, at least in trhe wake of lucid dreams as I have had them.
Hi Wanderlost, thank you for your reply. I wasn't sure if to post the question or not, been googling all night and nothing is coming up even remotely close to what my experiences are like...
here is what happened last night:
went to bed fine no problems. Pete got home around 11:30 cuddled for a while and then attempted to go back to sleep. Pete started snoring so I went to my own room.....Didn't wanna keep him awake by poking him all night or by me being kept awake...
Was not in my own bed for more then 10 minutes when I felt a pressure on the bed beside me (I was laying on my right side facing the wardrobe. I thought wrinkles had gotten on the bed but when I went to turn over to see if it was him I felt a pressure and then the rush, almost like when the plug has been pulled from a full tub of water a rush down.... Heart was beating fast as I plummeted down. I panicked which I usually don't do. And I started calling out for pete, screaming his name, when he didn't come to me I started yelling out for help over and over and over again, and then banging on the wall trying to attract his attention or the dogs attention. (obviously because I am not in my body any more)
