wow, i was gonna make a thread about this...........................but u beat me 2 it........this has happened between 20-30 times in my life. It's usually when I sleep on the couch and I'm facing the inside of the couch. I can open my eyes and slightly move my fingers, but thats it. I hate it! I tryto get peoples attention by moving my fingers, but to no avail.
Sleep paralysis. Some crazy stuff. I remember one time, like last year, i was semiconscious while experiencing sleep paralysis.
I was fully awake mentally but it seemed it had 2% of body energy when moving my body physically. I mean , I wasn't tired or anything and I wasn't having a nightmare/dream. I was as awake as I am right now. I was fully conscious with full knowledge of what was going on. I realized that i was "stuck". That's what i call it.
I was just in an extremely sluggish state, barely moving, trying to will myself up. Then i woke up with a snap, and said "f***", then i sat on my bed for a moment to try to gather myself with my breathing a tad paced, then i went downstairs for breakfast as if nothing happened.
It was a crappy experience. kinda horrifying. there was a time that i wanted to see what would happen if i willfully stayed paralyzed but i found it too crazy so i struggled and willed myself up. It kinda feels like death is close by when that happens. Or maybe it's just me.
