I get scary dreams too, usually cars running over me or me driving over others...so I dont sleep...I hope this is what you mean...

That happens to me every once in a while if I'm in a deep sleep. Usually if it's a nap. It doesn't scare me though...

WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT CALL ON THE NAME OF "JESUS" AND WATCH IT FLEE. PRAY AND ANNOINT YOUR HOUSE EVERYDAY

yes i was told when i was in church that it meant the enemy was trying to attack me also i usually use to hear growling which really scare me one i even opened my eyes and saw a lot of shadowy figures around me the closer i try to get up the more horrible pain i felt ..

This Expierence feels so weird I have been having this expierence since I was 13 yrs old and it seems to be getting worse. It use to happen every once in awhile now it happens almost every night and sometimes during the day when im asleep. Sometimes it feels like someone is touching me or I feel some sort of presense and when i try to wake myself out of it I start shaking like im having a seizure and i dont know what this means or comes from.

I'm just like you. I have it more than once a week. And it's been happening as far back as I can remember. I'm 22 now and I can remember my mom telling me that the witch was riding my back when I was around 8. I've been reading about it and it seems to be a harmless point in falling asleep or waking up when the brain and body are disconnected. I've also read that it's caused by having an irregular sleep pattern such as, taking random naps, and sleeping in. Hope this helps!

I haven't experienced "witch on my back" since I was in my early 20s (now in my early 30s). I used to experience it a lot as a child (tween and teen years). Interestingly, when my diet changed (got rid of pork and beef), sleep paralysis went away. It used to scare me really badly as a child. When I would finally wake up, I would be crying because I thought that my body was dead and my brain was still alive! My mom thought I was crazy, LOL! :)

Fortunately I don't experience sleep paralysis.........but I do experience the "witch riding your back" everytime I'm with my wife.

I have experienced this once when I was awake, I felt a pressing feeling on my back, it lasted for about half a minute and then it lifted off me, when I looked around the room, there was nothing there! Last night I experienced this but I was asleep. I tried to lift it off me in my sleep, it was on my face and the side of me, I then relaxed and it went away. I only have this occasionally, oh and it looked like a dark grey shape.

I just had this experience last night. My body got tingly starting from my feet. But I heard a robotic male voice reciting a numeric passcode. I remember seeing a balance of some sort. After he was done making what seemed like a deposit. He took in a deep breath to smell me and i saw what looked like regular human lips. I could then make noise. When i woke up or could open my eyes the tingling sensation started to go away starting from my head then down to my feet. I felt the after affect of someone pressing down on my back. Reading another post I did take a nap earlier in the day and didnt fall asleep until maybe 4 or 4:30am. It scared me so much that i couldnt sleep at all for the rest of the night. This definatly some scary mess!

So is there really something on ur back or is it just my imagination? What is it? Why is it? How is it?

Interesting comments on an interesting subject. I have had this experience. It was as if I was in a coma like state, awake, but not able to move or talk, I tried to speak and wanted to speak but couldn't nor could I move, like I was drifting into darkness, a void all around me, my brain was awake, But my body wasn't and didn't respond to my desire to wake up and I couldn't open my eyes. I had this experience when I was married and I have only had this experience once. Once was enough! I could hear my husband downstairs calling me, but I couldn't answer him. Could not move. I was in a deep dark place...some kind of VOID. It was like being propelled into outer space, just empty darkness or like being pressed into a huge human-sized bottle. I kept forcing myself to wake up get up move... and finally like sucking ice out of a bottle, POP, I jumped up out of bed and started breathing deeply. I went into the bathroom and took a shower (again) and stayed up most of the night. I sleep very light and never like to fall into a deep sleep because of that experience so many years ago. It is a scary experience. And personally, I think it was the HOUSE, yes the HOUSE that we bought. Looking back, there was nothing but pain and dispair in that house. Something happened there prior to our moving into it. I was never comfortable in that house. It held something sinister. It was an old house. We soon divorced and only lived in that house for only a year. I wish we had never moved there.

I often get a similar experience and the first few times it happened when I was a young teen it really scared me. The more I strained the heavier the weight on my back felt and the worse it felt. Since I'm a Christian I would also pray when this would happen and this would help me to relax and I would eventually "wake up". When I really thought about it though it didn't make sense that a demon would have this type of power over me since the holy spirit dwells in me. This knowledge alone really took the fear out of the whole thing. I can't speak for others so it's up to you to rule out any type of supernatural causes on your own. I started to think through it more logically when I wasn't scared. When it happens it's as though my brain is awake and my body is asleep or paralyzed. I still pray about it but I would also try little experiments like I would try as hard as possible to move just my hand and it would only move slightly and the feeling of pressure or weight would increase the harder I tried. I tried to determine what was actually paralyzed and I did come up with a solution that works for me. It seems that I can still control my breathing so I simply hold my breath for as long as I can. It's still wierd and uncomfortable but it's like my body suddenly wakes up when I feel like I can't hold my breath any longer. Even when you're awake if you hold your breath for as long as you can your body wants to react. I've used this method many times and it always works.

Yeah, it scares me alot. I used to hear my grandmother and her sisters talk about it alot when I was a child, and I didn't believe it until it happened to me for the first time back in 2001. It's been happening to me ever since, I don't really dicuss it with others out of fear that people may think i'm crazy. It stopped for a couple years after I had my daughter and I didn't experience it for about 2 yrs. Every night my daughter sleeps with me, but for the very first time since she's been born she stayed over my moms house. This was about 2 weeks ago, and I experienced it yet again. This experience was probably the scariest of them all. I was asleep and my body became extremely heavy as if something or someone was holding me down, but what made this time a little different is that I had actually seen a figure. It only lasted a few seconds,but it seemed alot longer. By the time it was over I was sweating and my heart was pounding, the first thing I did was grab my cellphone, and the time said 2:54. That was time my daughter was born!!!I have no idea what any of this means...if it means anything at all!

It sometimes does scare me but I have not had that happen to me in a long time. Some metaphysical minded people believe that it is kind of a precursor to the OBE. The state where your mind is in a place where you can travel out of body? I always became too frightened by it to encourage any kind of mind/spirit experience so I wouldn't know either way. Im a chicken... Baawk Baawk!

Yes it can be very scary.

Yes, we all have experienced Sleep paralysis @ one time or another but the term 'witch riding our back" is mainly used for when we meet with our House-Mother!!

Only once about ten years or so ago. I was dreaming that I had been probed by aliens and then instantly was in an elevator and beings that I realized were human-looking aliens were exercising some kind of mind control telling me to forget what I was experiencing, that it didn't happen and no one would believe me anyway. I was in the state of 'sleep paralysis' for what seemed in my dream state to be maybe two minutes. It was very frightening, but I did remember the dream and upon waking up crying uncontrollably, I woke my sister up and reported every detail that I could remember and then wrote down the dream in detail. I do hope I never have one of those again...v-e-r-y creepy!

Seal the house. Seal the room. If your "born again" you are called a child of God and you believe in Jesus as your lord and surveyor. If your not born again you need to get born again so you can do what I am about to suggest. The last time people tried to do this who were not reborn, the sprite jumped up and said, “Jesus I know, & Paul I know, but who are you?” It (the ghost) then proceeded to beat the mess out of all seven of them, till they ran out the house naked bleeding and wounded. By the way, they were all priests & sons of the high priest in town so rank doesn’t count. If you are born again, resist the sprite by moving and speaking, preferably the name of Jesus, commanding the sprite to leave you and the house. If the sprite is stubborn or gets upset and wont leave, get your anointing oil and repeat what the Jews did during the first Passover meal. [They were commanded by God to take the blood of their sacrifice, (the lamb.) and put some on the lintels and side posts of the doors. This is called sealing the house. That’s why we call the Jewish feast “the Passover”, because the spirit of death could not get in, it had to “Passover” that house and the people inside were safe. Now we use oil instead of blood and we use it as a symbol and a remembrance of the Passover and God honors that.] After you have finished, stand in the middle of the room and command “any and all sprites” to leave in Jesus name! Say it with authority and confidence and resist the spirit of fear by refusing to be afraid. Then go back to bed. Today we use oil to symbolize the blood of the lamb, but you don’t just buy some oil from the store and start putting it on your doors. You must get into prayer wile you hold the bottle of oil in your hand, and as you feel the presence and anointing of the holy sprite in the room and on you, you speak to your Lord, and ask him to put his presence and power on the oil. I always keep a bottle of holy anointed oil in the house, and sometime I carry a small vile with me. Usually, if you have something supernatural happing in your live, its ether the result of something passed on to you thru the union of the flesh with another person, an inherited spirit from a relative who dabbled in the supernatural sometimes up to 4 generations back, or as a result of something you are allowing in your life now. Like: fear, lust, anger, messing with the supernatural, bitter un-forgiveness, sleeping around, being money hungry, etc, etc, etc, add nousium… Renounce what has been passed on to you through contact or inheritance, and stop whatever your doing that God doesn't approve of in your life. Ask him to forgive you, and to wipe it off your record, and he will. There are chains that need to be broken in almost every life. Sometimes it can come from what your not doing. When is the last time you spent time alone with God praying? Has it been awhile? Why? Are you angry with God, or bitter? Do you read everyday and fast often? No? What’s going on? Have you stopped going to church, telling others about Jesus, giving to others? Giving to your pastor’s work? Do you miss time with your father? Do you know him? Distance from your heavenly father can also create an opening for an emotional void, just bagging for a demon spirit to come into your life and hold you their. Making it more and more difficult for you to get back to Jesus, and creating a vacuum that will only pull you further away. Most devils and spirits go unnoticed in a person’s life, and people can have thousands of them connected to their mind, body, and / or soul, and not even know it. This is where devils, spirits, ghosts, poltergeists, etc, come in, and sometimes if their losing their authority in your life, losing their grip on your mind and soul, they have to do something physical to get you to submit to them so they can stay and have a little more time to influence you, run your life and fool you into thinking your in control, when you simply don’t have control. That devil has control. You’re not going to heaven. (Your fate is doom.) Thus, you have what people call, the witch riding your back, Sleep paralysis, the dark pressure, evil jinns, etc, if that spirit chooses to manifests its self in you that way. Jesus is the only way. There’s only two worlds on planet earth, your ether in Satan’s world and sometimes you might be subject to the horrors of the supernatural, or you’re in God’s world where you can find freedom, liberty, Justus, peace, protection etc. Thanks

My name is darrein an I guess I have sleep paralysis I would love to say its a medical condition but it seems alot of people is havin the same experiences I feel dat its more spiritual than every thing....an to me things like it being a medical condition iz a way of shadowing the truth of what it may be...my thoughts is something you're not doin in your life right an this is a boost to make you realize who you should be living for....notice saying the prayer helps...for me anyway...another thing no one else can help you its a helpless state but belief make it leaves as softly as it begins then you slowly wake up az if nothin happen.....the funny thing once for me once I wake a feelin of relief followed by uncaring of what happened as if I was just sayin the prayer cuzz I really needed it...letting me know my faith is not strong as it should be cuzz with free will on some nights Im afraid to say my prayers but amongst the feeling(sleep paralysis) I can say it with meaning and truth.....are maybe its just mumbo jumbo....but the biggest trick the devil has pulled is makin people believe he's not real.....but reassured god never gives us wat we cant handle...sorry if I sound like the religous freaks from the movies lol...but dats how I feel

i have been experiencing these horrible episodes since i can remember. before, "it" used to paralyze me and get right in my face and breathe really heavy through its nose. i was afraid to open my eyes or it just would not let me. idk. that scared the crap out of me. at first i had to get my mind together and after a few moments i would realize that whatever it was was trying to frighten me and it worked but then i would start to pray the Lords prayer and it would not immediately go away but it finally did and then i would wake up and be able to move and open my eyes. well i had the reverend at church pray over me and he told me that i would not have these dreams anymore and i never did. those horrible kinds anyway. the episodes i have now, i feel like i am stuck in between sleep and waking up but i cant move or open my eyes again. last time this happened was a few days ago. my bf had just left and i was home alone when it started. "something" walked in behind me while i was on my side "sleeping" and said something unintelligeable in a mans voice . i couldnt make out what was said. i knew my bf was gone at the time. but i was afraid a little. but knew it was happening again. knowing this "thing" was behind me and i couldnt move my body or open my eyes put me in panic mode. i should have started the Lords Prayer but this time i didnt. how foolish was i? finally "it" realized that i was struggling very hard to get up and sooner than later i would, it walked quickly out of the room,and i could hear its footsteps leave. i got up and listened for a few moments and got my bearings. felt so real. was scared to check the house to make sure noone was here with me. does anyone think that since i have a big interest in the paranormal and crime that maybe i have brought this on myself in a sense? my email is pamreneejones@gmail.com if anyone has any answers for me. thanks for listening!

i see the demons have been trying to recruit a few of you........ that was strange as i began to write this i just had to stop becuz my screen door started slamming....i had to pray & ask god to bind the evil that wants me to open the door.(THEY WANT ME TO B QUIET) as i opened my main door.the screen door was shut.im writing yal to let u know u got to believe in god rite now. satan is sending his demons out to get us.especially us who believe in jesus christ. i grew up overseas in foreign countries that practice all sorts of rituals.i grew up as an only child, 1 parent. my dad left me alone alot. i started seeing demons at the age of 5. in germany. i laid in my bed scared as hell watchin his shadow in my bathroom. ive come across many of evil spirits. they mess w me often.some scare me,most dont. i used to tell my dad bout the witches riding my back, the "ghosts"...but he didnt believe me. he'd say we are gods children,we dont believe in ghosts..he would say"if you believe in ghosts,u will c them"...he was wrong. i believe in ghosts,spirits becuz i do c them. demons can take any shape or form.i tried to call out jesus name. the demon wuld make it to where i couldnt talk. i would try to scream my roomates name out but nothing would come out. demons have been on my tail for yrs. when i was in 5th grade i was fascinated with this power they had on me,to the point where i was skipping clas to go to the library to read up on witchcraft...they actually had a book on it.....this is where my mistake started...i am a person who has been blessed with sum crazy ass abilities. i know u dont believe me. my dad used to tell me i was evil...i still at 30 am learning to have to watch my mouth..if im angry..and say something or think it...happens. i realized these abilities at a young age,around 15. i actually did a spell(voodoo) mistake #2. it actually worked. alittle too much. i didnt carry it out til the end cuz i got scared.i told my dad.he was pissed. he said i had opened the gates to hell...and that evil will always follow me....that time he was rite. im telling yal all this and i could go into more but i dont want to give the wrong impression. i am a christian, but i have a spiritual war goin on in me. i can hear the angels whispering.i also hear the devil growling at me. im writing this as a warning..the devil is real....he is here.dont focus on the "witch riding your back" it needs you to,it gains strength from you.i have to constantly pray for god not only to watch over me, but my lil children as well. you see my son was on life support for 2 months..he flatlined for 2min13sec. and came back. my daughter sees dead folks...so do i. my friend calls us THE INCREDIBLES like the cartoon movie. i try to keep them in church as much as possible. they dont mess with my kids. they deal w me. doctors have been trying to get me to get a at scan since i was 17...but im scared that radiation may take some of my abilities away. the demons want me to use them for evil. i even have people that want me to tell them lotto numbers...have yal seen the movie "23"? w jim carey? watch it. its true. have you seen the movie "FALLEN"? with denzel washington, and tat guy that played roseann's husband on the t.v. show roseann....its true. yal please becareful...im going to stop for now. nice talkin to yal...oh yes..by the way...its not a witch that is "riding your back"...

I've come in contact with it a couple times within last year, the first time it freaked the f**k out of me because I wondered what was going on

I to have at least once or twice a week i wish it would stop it gets worse everytime

I have had this happen to me off and on since I was a child. It happened as a teen, and stopped when I married, and resumed when I got divorced. I am no longer afraid, because I know JESUS. As soon as I mention his name, what ever it is flees. I pray before going to sleep at night, and ask the Lord to cover me with his blood. I would hear sounds, and one time saw a dark circular mass. It also made a noise. The Lord has come to my home, and I pray regularly to him. Once I commited myself to regular prayer, and renounced my fleshly desires (fornication) I was able to rest. Remember that the Bible says the the enemy (Dvil) is mighty, but you must remember that GOD is ALmighty. You are no match for the enemy by yourself. Jesus has defeated the enemy, and he is the only who can. Strengthen your prayer life...get to know your creator, watch who you let in your home, physically, and by some of the satanic movies that you watch. The movie creators are inspired by evil- cause the stuff they think of is ridiculous!!!. I am not a JESUS freak. People there is evil in this world. How else do you justify people killing famil, children, and other innocent people? They jsut don't get an urge- get real. Just as there is veil, there is GOD (Good). You have mroe to to lose than you realize. Yor sunset could be tomorrow. Not a scare tactic...just keeping it real. If you are not saved, ask the Lord into your heart(life). Join a church, don't wait to join a church to pray, oh, and read the bible. Start with the New Testament-International version (easier to read). Pray in each room of your apt/home. Listen to Christan Broadcast as you sleep, and try to get the Jewish Mezzuh (prayer scroll) to put over you doorway. "Each one Teach one"!

It used to. Now, I'm aware of what it is so it's easier to go into full lucid dreaming. Although it can be a little scary, it's also a great medium to enter into an OBE.

It's been happening to me for years at first i was scared but now I'm used to it. I'm only 25 years old.Everyone I talked to about it looked at me like I was crazy and said i should talk to a pastor or something,but i don't know what to say. all i know is when it's happening i hear voices and sometimes i see myself shaking. And the images i see you don't wanna know very disturbing.I really don't know what to do about it sorry i can't be of any help?

i first experienced it when i was about 12 i am now 16 and i am gettin it now more that often. it happens in the mornings after my sister leaves to go to school when i am by myself. it get VERY scared because i try to scream out but i can't. and everytime it's over its like i have this INSTANT dream of this little "person" or "thing" going back into a black bag. iv'e just started to read up on this and to be quite honest i don't know what to believe. as i type this i feel a scared feeeling come over me. i hope this is just a medical problem.

Yes it is a very scary experience. When I was a teenager I use to experience sleep paralysis a lot it scared me so much I tried not to sleep as much as I could I’d just stay up and watch TV all night. I never knew what it was when I was younger so that’s what scared me even more. I would pray b/c I thought it was some supernatural experience. When I was going threw it I felt like I might die. I didn't realize what it was until I went to college in a class that I took we talked about different sleep disorders and we briefly covered sleep paralysis then I realized that there was a name for what had been going on so. I did more research on it and now I know what it is and that many other people go threw it. It’s not supernatural. There is a medical explanation for it. But it's still a scary experience no matter what I know. I won't die from it but it still feels like you might. I don’t experience it that often as an adult and I’m thankful for that.

i had an experience where i couldnt move when i woke up and it was dark and i saw red eyes right in front off me and i heard a witch sounding laugh that was loud and clear, i swear im not lying..... to stop them u can avoid sleeping in awkward positions or u can pray, i didnt believe it could happen 2 me but it did but thank god it has stopped....

Ive had that happen only twice that I can remember. Its been about 7-8 yrs ago since the last time. Both times I was sound asleep but I woke up without waking up. I couldnt move my body, I couldnt open my eyes, I couldnt move my mouth and almost felt like I was slowly suffocating in a way. I could hear the outside world around me. I was that way for a few minutes before finally snapping out of it. It was very freaky.

Hell yeah, Ive had it happen a couple times. I just get an intense feeling everywhere...and I think im dying. Afterwards Im pretty freaked out and I grab my hubby and hold him tight, cuz if hes holding me...nothing can mess with me.

YES!!!! it happens at random...and I push as hard as I can until I can move again, and its scary as hell!! I didnt know so many people have experienced this before. This still happens to this day...its been a few months, but I doubt its gonna be the last time it happens.

Ten years ago, i moved to this small studio type apartment. Om my second night, i fell asleep on my couch then i "woke" up in the middle of my sleep with a heavy pressure on my chest. It was pitch black dark but i thought i saw a white smoke floating from above my head as if a human like white silhouette started to take shape. taws like a foot above my face and i believe i heard it moan or something. i beagn to panic but i coudnt move, not even my hand. i wanted to shove it away or fan it off. i felt my hair standing from my nape and felt my head grow grew heavy. i was so petrified that i almost coudnt utter the Lord's Prayer properly, then it grew thinner until it disappeared. the time was exactly 4:10 am. I never told anyone about it. I stayed in that apartment for two yaers then moved to a bigger place with my brother. after 8 years my brother heard about that story and he was horrified because it also happened to him when he slept over my place, in the same couch at almost the same hour. i still dont know what it was but i know it made my faith in GOD stronger. Believe me, faith works.

this has happened to me all my life. i once opened my eyes and saw a figure darting around the corner of the livingroom and it made a hissing sound.Years later as i grew into an adult we moved into an apartment and i experienced a witch on my back every night it almost drove me insane,i discovered that drinking alcohol before i went to sleep helped stop it from happening. but in order to deal with this we must first know what it is.That being a demon is holding you down unable to speak.When it would happen to me i would always feel a sense of dread or as if something had entered the room. I would always concentrate and speak god's name which is JEHOVAH and instantly it would stop and i mean instantly also search your house for something that might be attracting demons to your house,GET RID OF THE ITEM RIGHT AWAY.Since we moved from the apartment about 11 years ago i can say i've had like one incident of a witch riding my back.Please to the people experiencing this frightful occurence dont let people down play it as a sleep condition, because it isnt.

I've had this experience multiple times when I was in highschool. Then I told a friend about it and she told me to "Plead the blood of Jesus." So the next time I had that experience, I repeated in my mind (with authority) "I PLEAD THE BLOOD OF JESUS" Guess what, I've never had that experience again and its been 8 years and counting! Now my boyfriend frequently has these experiences and I've told him about my story. All I can do is pray for him. I think its easier to believe in God and Jesus but not necessarily angels and demons. But the fact that a spiritual action caused them (demons) to leave me alone is enough evidence for me. Also, a lot of people want to find a "medical" reason for this experience. I tend to think that scientists can find an explanation but it does not discount God's hand in the whole situation. For instance, the scientists may be correct that the world was made by a bunch of explosions, and I just say, "Great, now you found out how GOD used chemical reactions to make this world." Just my take on things :-)

Yes, this is a scary experience when this feeling occurs. You are conceious. This is no medical condition, people would have you to believe this, this is something supernatural. There are two worlds one the physical world and the supernatural world that we can not see with the natural eyes. There are demons and angels. The demons are the ones who create these conditions. Whenever I experience this condition, I call upon Jesus, repeatly in my mind, because I cannot speak. The will leave,because Jesus is the boss. Please remember whenever you get in the state, call on Jesus it works every every every time. PS evil is out there. AC

I experience witch riding maybe once or twice in the past couple of years and each one is more intense. Ive had one where my arms were pinned to the bed and i couldnt move(was woke) and i couldnt speak or anything. I also hade one when i was sleeping on the floor next to the couch and my face was smushed agianst the couch and i couldnt move. In those situations i cant speak or move but i just say Jesus in my head until i can talk and the say it out loud and when its over i turn on the lights pray and go back to sleep.

I often have this experience. i don't know whether it's "sleep paralysis" or "the witch riding my back", all i know is that I try to move, try to breathe, try to open my mouth and pray as loud as i can, i can't. i'll even try to recite prayers in my mind, and as i recite them over and over, the words will sometimes escape my memory. I freak out. The last time it happened, I thought I heard something walk towards my bed and try to hold me down. I instantly tried to fight it. It kept coming back. And the more it came back, the harder it was for me to move. Finally, I just sat up and watched television for as long as i could. I don't know what any of this means, but after reading many of your comments, i understand a lot more than i did. I ask that you all pray for me.

Well this is my first time on here, but let me tell you I have been experiencing this for about 18yrs and it's scary as hell. It happens when I'm alone or with someone. When I'm in bed or on the couch. I would get this chill, that starts at my head goes down my spine. Then my body freezes up and I can't move or speak. I try to throw the covers off me, but I can't move a muscle, no matter how hard I try. When I'm with someone, I try to reach out and grab them or call they're name, but I get nothing. I guess its in my head, cause I can't speak. I think to myself, Lord Jesus,Lord Jesus,Lord Jesus and it breaks but this the scariest stuff ever. I Don't know how to get away from it and wish I could. This happens all the time. I'm a grown man and it makes me scared to be alone at night or sleep alone. People that have not experienced this couldn't even began to understand. Pls share ur ways of shaking it, if you have any pls!

I have had sleep paralysis a few times in my life, it was scary since I didn't know what was going on. Once, I even thought I saw Marvel comics' Loki laughing at me. Wonder if it's cause I fell asleep reading Thor comics. But once I found out what it was actually was, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_paralysis , I simply ride it out, nice and calm. Sometimes I run the "Form Voltron" routine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZZv5Z2Iz_s in my head while waiting to mobilize.

a couple of weeks ago ive had a dream where everyone i knew was in it and there i was kissing a girl i knew in class where i looked back and the girl that im am interested in now was looking dead at me. so i quickly turned around where my neck started to FEEL LIKE I WAS BEING CHOOKED after awhile i knew it felt too real so i shoke my head to wake up "it works" but as i woke up i couldnt move so a kelped shaking my head but it felt as if i was still dreaming but i was awake because i saw everything going on around me.i tryed to cry out to my brother which i was sharing the same room but i could not open my mouth nor hum or moun.also so to say i was laying on my back, chest facing up.i was soo scared.so i tried to punch the air above me but i couldnt move anything but my head so for a second i gave up trying to force myself off the bed and go back to sleep but ive figured if i had done that them i mabe wouldnt made it to the next day so i struggled and i finally looked above me where there was a black cloud. once it dissapered i started to move and speak so i got up told my brother to turn on the light and i say "F**k THIS .IM OUT"

I experienced this when I was pregnant with my second child. Doc said i had a pinched nerve and just had to wait it out. It was tolerable once I knew what was happening to me. The FIRST time I was terrified! I woke in the middle of the night and couldnt move from the chest down. My husband was away on training, pitch darkness in the house, no one was there to hear me calling for help. It only lasted maybe 10 minutes or so, but it was an aweful experience. When I could wiggl a little, I wiggled enough to reach the phone and called 911. I thought I was really paralyzed. good news was that the Marine Corps agreed to not send my husband away until the problem was resolved. So I wasnt alone when it happened again.

It's normally terrifying when it happens to me. It generally only happens to me when I haven't been sleeping well though. If you're having it this bad, you might want to see if a psychiatrist can give you something for it. I know I wouldn't want to deal with it once a week.
