Across history, people described the same terrifying night visitor. Today, science calls it sleep paralysis, but many still believe something far darker exists.

A new study suggests people who think differently, feel watched, or experience sleep paralysis are more likely to report paranormal experiences. This is a new angle on understanding these events.

More seriously I realized at least for 10-11 years I just don't have to do anything specific to reach this "I don't feel my limbs" state. When I lie down and don't move it just happens automatically. It's even easier than in the past when I purposely tried to learn relax techniques for #meditation and #LucidDreaming because now, without setting a goal, there is no pressure to "succeed". Sometimes I try to use that already present state to meditation training. Or try to remember this state to somehow use it later for stress/anxiety relief (still not sure how).
It's kind of funny, when I need to do something and have to remind myself how to e.g. use my hand. Similar mental focus like in breaking sleep paralysis, even if not so much effort needed. Muscles are not really turned down, just my brain? mind? thinks they are unusable. Like hypnosis therapy depicted in movies... " Now your legs are very heavy" :blobCat_giggle:
And yes, I am weird freak who really loves #SleepParalysis.

I'm pretty sure I had sleep paralysis this morning, it was super weird.
So in the dream, my thumb nail lifted up, then I pulled something out from under, then replaced the nail down and it got this moving, swirling, black and white kind of effect. I thought it was super weird, so I went to take a picture of it. Then my phone started buzzing like crazy, and I look at the screen and these QR codes keep flashing and changing on the screen.
Then I awoke. I knew I was conscious cuz I had an audio book playing in the background and I could hear it. Suddenly I felt a hand on my crotch, moving from behind up toward my tummy (not at all in a sexy way).
Then I realized that I don't live with anybody, but it felt distinctly like a hand. Then I felt Pepper (specifically) jump up on the bed and sniff my face, but I know it wasn't him cuz he and his brother stay in their room over night.
I tried to move but I couldn't. My vision shifted between everything appearing as black silhouette and clear vision, but all I could do was breath rapidly and heavily through my nose.
Finally, my plushies were in such a way that it looked like a face lying beside me facing up.
Eventually I focused and snapped out of it, but it freaked me out.

@nekoow7 yeah, sleep paralysis really sucks. I had it on an almost nightly basis for the better part of a decade starting in my early teens. With me, I suspect it’s related to #Non24 disorder and it has largely gone away ever since I stopped trying to follow a normal 24 hour day.
I still get it once in a while, but they stopped being scary after the first decade. After that they were just uncomfortable. These days, they rarely happen and they’re more annoying than anything else.
The monsters with hot feet standing on me are long gone. I even breathe just fine. There’s no pressure on my chest. I just can’t move.
In the rare times it happens, my only concern is being able to get back to sleep quickly.

I have a vivid memory from when I was about 7 or 8 years old of my mum finding me sat at the top of the stairs crying because my legs wouldn't move.
Thinking back on it now, I was almost certainly still asleep and it was sleep paralysis, I used to walk and talk in my sleep and apparently could have full conversations whilst asleep.
I still remember it clear as day, many years later. So weird!

How scary being unable to move while there's darkfigure standing right above your chest 😐

After some exchange (https://urusai.social/@nazokiyoubinbou/113271946360570675) I thought I should check if it's possible to open eyes during half-conscious #SleepParalysis (I have eyes closed and was surprised many people have open). And finally had an opportunity to do it.
So... it was as hard as trying to move any other body part. It required an effort to open one eye. Somehow I closed it again later. So even if eyeballs are not "turned off", eyelids seemingly are.
I also wondered if I open eyes, I would have hallucinations - normally I only hear things, have chaotic thought train and feel like floating in the air/vacuum. For brief moment after opening one eye, I saw something like cartoon character with blonde hair and pale pink clothes on the wall background but it disappeared quickly. Nothing later. Not really impressive.
Probably someone did similar experiments in more scientific way :blobcatjoy:

Sleep paralysis demons are fun sometimes and laughter makes them weak from the knees - so I made a comic about the times I was having sleep paralysis/nightmare/night terror/a surprise nap on the can!

Nap of many disasters - first an "awareness attack" (sense of feeling my body in HD that would prelude sleep walking/night terror if I didn't know how to stay awake) - decided to fuck it and let it do whatever since It'd be my partner's problem - "cold attack" follows and keeps me away anyway, saved my partner from me walking around in terror - and finally MASSIVE #SleepParalysis and Layered, Realistic, #VividDreams.

Last night I got restless #sleep and started drifting in and out of #paralysis; #dreaming I was in my bed next to my partner but when I tried to get their attention to wake me up I was just talking to my #dream.
But then I started #lucidDreaming and my partner was there I might as well have fun; so I started messing around and doing all the kinky shit I like to do and they were totally down with it!
So yeah, had my first #sleepParalysis #lucid wet-dream!

If anyone is in the situation where, as you wake-up, you are paralysed and it feels like something terrible is near-by: Keep ONE thing in mind:
Move a single finger*
That's it. Just pour all your will into one finger and get it to move, it will start a chain-reaction and free you.
* Adapt to your situation.
