I Nearly Died!
Really! It was possibly the most terrifying experience in my life.
On tuesday night just after I had fallen asleep I was awoken suddenly as I could not breathe. I felt an immense weight crushing my chest and what I can only describe as hands grasping around my throat.
I could not move, I was completly paralysed. Several times I tried to cry out until after what seemed like a long time I finally managed, in an extremly gargled voice, to squeeze out the words ''FUCK OFF'' and just as soon as I did it instantly stopped.
I dragged myself up and out of bed, I was very dizzy and disorientated and stumbled into the bath room. Upon looking in the mirror I realised my face was a white as a sheet and my lips were a blue / purple colour.
I sware a ghost or some shit tried to kill me. I dont know if I want to sleep in that room again, last night I bunked on the sofa instead, I think I will do the same tonight.
If any more freaky shit like that happens I am going to go to a church and see if I can get a priest to perform an exorcism.
It scared the shit out of me... I dont like being in this house alone now. I have never had a problem with being alone before but now  |

As far as I know, sleep paralysis is pretty harmless, but scary. |

Yeah its very scary, having your mind be consious but your body be unconsious. The scariest dream I ever had in my life included palalysis.

Re: I Nearly Died!
Sleep paralysis sounds like a trip! Imagine if you could get that in drug form. Kids would be doing it all the time!

Re: I Nearly Died!
Alternative solution:
Do you have anything supernatural in your home? Like dream catchers, books about ghosts, games where you can talk with the dead etc?
If so, get rid of them. Burn it. It helps better than some priest could.

A serious question, is that some Mormon/Christian teaching that you're getting that from? Or are you just having a bit of fun?

It's Biblical. Acts shows that when people turned Christian, they always burned their spiritual books. Supernatural stuff can 'lure them in', if you believe in that kind of stuff.
But yes, this sounds more like sleep paralysis.

I don't care what anybody says. When I made myself a dream catcher, my nightmares that happened every night instantly stopped.

Re: I Nearly Died!
I have had problems sleeping for years, that's one of the main reasons I smoke a bowl of weed most evenings, to put me to sleep. But this happened after about 2 weeks of smoking abstinance since my birthday so it was weird.
The 'sleep paralysis' theory is quite a sound one but I have suffered from that in the past. I usually get it when I have a nightmare and intentionally try to wake myself up. I have a degree of control over my dreams that enables me to do this.
But this was different and there are things that are not consistent with the link Neo posted, the main one being -

- I beg to differ, inability to breathe and waking up (being woken up) feeling dizzy and with blue lips is about a serious a health problem as you could get, I nearly suffocated somehow. Human Brain - Oxygen = Dead.
My mind leans more toward the spiritual on this one. I asked my late Auntie to watch over me, no force alive of dead would dare mess with her 
I also found out that a little girl died of TB in the room upstairs above mine and my neighbour commented on several unexplainable things he had witnessed since living in the house. (I live in a converted house) my mind is open to such things. To say we humans can explain everything in this world with proven science is I think a little over zealous, there are many 'known's', but there are many more 'unknown' 'unknowns'
There are examples of things we know about but have no way of detecting ourselves with our natural senses, the sound of a dog whistle, infra red light. So there must be hundreds more things like this we dont know about.
Just because the basic principles of science, wether it be medical or physical or whatever, stand up to scrutiny, it does not mean they are correct. There's just no better, commonly accepted, opinion or theory.

Re: I Nearly Died!
Im not going to lie. I laughed when I read your thread, along with the fact that "sleep paralysis" actually exists.
And. Holy shit! Neo made a post!

Re: I Nearly Died!
Consider yourself in a cool minority, Ric. Sleep disorders are pretty uncommon, or at least their diagnosis is. I suffer from the occasional sleepwalking bought.
What are your sleep habits or what were your sleep habits that night? And do you ever have lucid dreams or do you sleep problems?
