Hypnopompic Sleep Paralysis

[bigmann245]

Those sound more pleasant. Mine are: evil "somethings" leaning over my bed, old, dead men/old women looking at me from my doorway, things sitting on my chest and sucking my life away, strange animals by my bed, and so on. I get the classic parts about not being able to move anything but my eyes. Can't scream for help, can't turn my head. Can't move at all. Then, it's gone. When it goes away, im still in my bed but I can move and the bad stuff is gone. It's a good way to scare a husband. He just sees my eyes darting back and forth until I snap out of it and turn on every light in the house.

maybe hubby is playing tricks on you and dressing up. that would be one hell of a prank. lol

I'm NOT confusing shit. And if you think hypnopompic or hypnagogic(one occurs when waking and the other happens when falling asleep) hallucinations are fun...... then you'd be a hard guy to scare. None of these have anything to do with night terrors. People don't remember night terrors. They wake up scared but can't remember why. Not trying to sound like a know-it-all but I have been going to docs for HSP for over 20 years. If you think they are FUN... good for you. I think they suck BAD.

I also was a sleep walker, myway. I ended up out in the snow twice in a nothing but a nightgown. I would do stuff like get up and brush my teeth, etc.

Since I was about 6 years old? THAT WOULD take tallent. That WOULD be a cause of death for him.

The sleepwalking wasn't unpleasant.

The dreams and paralysis though were just out of this world. I was such a nervous kid because of them that I chewed one of my fingernails completely off. I was always biting my nails because I was nervous about night time and going to bed. All my fingers were always getting infected.

Thank GOD I don't have them anymore.

I had some woman take me aside and do a ritual on me (it was one of my dad's ex-wives' relative). Anyway, she did a ritual thing and then said to me, "you will never have those nightmares again." I don't know if it was the power of suggestion or she really did something magical, but I never did have those again.

THAT'S kinda trippy. Actually, that's HELLA trippy. I have heard about some people learning to control them and turning them into sexual experiences. My doc just gives me benzos. WTF-over! That does not seem fair AT ALL.

Mine just stopped. I didn't turn them into sex dreams. I never really had sex dreams before I was prego. I maybe had 10 in my whole life before pregnancy.

Once I got pregnant I kept dreaming about sex with women, which is odd, because I consider myself to be completely straight. lol
