I've had a number of cases of sleep paralysis, enough of them to point out individual ones. It started out in high school as being feeling like I was awake and being able to see things around me. Never had a "falling" feeling, just the paralysis. I would have to will myself to wake up/move or whatever to get out of that state. Then in college I started hearing music playing while in this state - this happened only twice, each time I heard a flute playing, lol. A few times since then I have heard entire orchestral scores of music I've never heard before. Never chalked it up to anything paranormal, I just assumed the mind is capable of amazing things. In fact, it kind of pisses me off that I can "hear" this stuff while asleep but not be proficient enough to write music and make some money off of it, . Anyway, I don't get the music so much anymore. Now I'll occasionally get the loud buzzing, feeling like my entire body is shaking violently, and definitely the feeling of impending doom.

I'm open to paranormal things that may be possible in this state, but for me, they're not paranormal. To me I have an occasional problem with sleep paralysis. When I was younger it didn't mean much. In college I was doing pretty well for myself and the paralysis was actually a positive experience. The past few years I've experienced nothing but stress and my sleep has definitely reflected that with the feelings of danger. Perception and your current state of mind can make all the difference.

Sorry for being long winded.

I would like to Reply to your post.
You said you couldn't talk... That is usually a sign of sleep.
I do very well believe aliens exist, in fact, i believe they're fighting a war over our heads right now... Check out Ed Grimsley -- he's got some fantastic evidence of aliens. My point is -- If you can't talk, It's a dream. I have that problem a lot, too. I fall asleep, and dream of being unable to breath... I then see a flash, and wake up.

If you would have relaxed, you probably would have had an epic OBE. Whether you summon "aliens" or not, whenever you "wake up" into sleep parlays, it is common common to have vision and if you can calm yourself and leave your body. Of course, the official explanation is these are hallucinations, but I think the are always two ways to look at things.

I might give it a try, even though how scary this story was xD
We'll see if it works for me aswell (hopefully not so scary as it was for you).
Wish me luck

Over the weekend I had read a few threads and websites about how to contact aliens, so last night I decied to give it ago. It was about 00:00 and my girlfriend had fallen asleep I turned of the telly laid on my back closed my eyes and thought something along these lines "Hello aliens, if there is any of you out there are listening I invite you to contact me.", I felt a bit silly to be honest.

I continued this for about 20mins without any luck, so I decied to go to sleep. It took me ages to get to sleep but as I was trying I keeped repeating,"Hello aliens, if there is any of you out there listening I invite you to contact me.". I must have fallen asleep because a few hours later I woke up unable to move. Now, I have had sleep paralysis before but this was on a different level.

As I keep trying to make myself move, I heard a noise either by my door or outside it, at that point I felt someting grab what I can only say was my soul (and I not even sure I believe in that sort of thing), I don't know what it was but I instantly became scared. I felt like my legs were being pulled out of me body, they (my legs) were being violently swung from side to side. I tried making some noise to wake my GF up but I couldn't get out any sound. I felt like I was being pulled but I was resisting, it wasn't painful.

I don't know how long this went on for but after a while my girlfriend shook me and I instantly was able to move. I grabbed her and said "thank you" she said "what for?", I just told her I was having a nightmare (I don't want her thinking i'm mad!). I asked her why she woke me up, she told me I was shaking and making weird noises.

It was about 02:00 when she shook me, I didn't try going back to sleep till about 07:00 I was far to scared. But when I did try I keep getting this weird feeling like my mind was falling (if that makes sense) and then I would get like a "thud!" and my eyes would open suddenly without warning.

I have also been getting a lot of Deja Vu this morning.

What happened to me has left me terrorfied about going back to sleep! I wish I had never tried anything and I urge any of you to think twice before you try it.

I'm not trying to scare anyone, I have heard a lot of positive about people trying to contact aliens. Unfortunately it wasn't the case for me.

You this a dumb idea right?
