So before last night, I've never even heard of sleep paralysis... but after experiencing it, had to look it up.

my story is pretty crazy, i woke up at like 5am to some kind of buzzing noise, loud, real loud.... like buzzing isnt the right word... idk, just a weird like, technology sound or somethin... idk, something only robot ears could hear... and i could only hear it in my left ear anyways, i couldnt lift my head, my arms or legs...or even roll over for that matter, i tried pretty hard... to move anything... and was just stuck...i could hear somebody saying my name 3 or 4x, like not with my ears, but inside my head... and eventually i responded with an angry "WHAT!? THE EFF YOU WANT?"(in my head) and it stopped.... i was pretty terrified at this point, couldnt yell or do anything.... and as soon as that weird noise stopped, i could move and everything was kinda normal, felt super exhausted...could of easily went back to sleep but got up to smoke a cig and a bowl and determine wtf just happened.



well ive looked into it a little, some believe its a spirit of an evil old hag that sits on you and holds you down... or some kind of evil something.

Medical experts say its just when your in a state somewhere between being asleep and awake.

not sure what i lean towards, i just know that its definitely weird and kinda lean towards the medical experts being i didnt actually see an evil being or anything....but the weird calling of my name and shit, idk, was too real.... but the whole experience just seems so, abnormal and bizzare.

any opinions on this sort of thing? any similar experience?

correct me if i'm wrong but i'm pretty sure sleep paralysis is closely linked with lucid dreaming (being awake in your dreams and actively controlling them). i've heard that sleep paralysis is pretty terrifying, but i've been trying to lucid dream for a while now and it's just odd that you experienced this last night. you're definitely not the only person to experience this, and i'd discard your statement about the evil spirit thing. but i haven't experienced it so i wouldn't know the intensity of it. fascinating stuff, really.

thanks for quick replies... and i tend to disagree with the evil spirit thing too...being i didnt see one or anything...the only thing thats weird is that voice.... but im 110% sure i was awake during it all, dont get me wrong, i was sleeping before but what woke me up and brought me back in my room was the crazy LOUD 'buzzing' noise...  i could see my room, and the clock on the dresser, lamp ect...my eyes were the only thing that could move... its the first and only time ive ever experienced this...probably the most freaky/ trippy... if it reoccurs ill change somethin in my sleep pattern..... and i immediately got up after that noise stopped, could my body again.

oh ya, sry troll, just wanted to edit:dont think its too much pc either, being as i had some friends from out of state here for the weekend i didnt touch the computer over the weekend...

and im not sure about lucid dreams, i think ive had one in the past (and thats a maybe).... not sure how closely related, but this was the opposite, being awake and not being able to control anything, especially yourself... just lay there awake trippin out waiting for it to stop.... its intense man

I've got a friend who experiences that regularly. Now he just doesn't care when it happens to him.
