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

Hello ATSer's.

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?

I believe you 100% , I had a similar experience when I was 16 years old and obsessed with the devil. I have never talked about this to anyone before. And I am really not expecting anyone to believe me but after reading this thread I feel I should share my experience with other's.

So let's roll back the clock 12 years and I am in my flat with a group of my friends and we are watching a film with the devil in it , I believe it was the film with Arnold Schwarzenegger End Of Days and when my friends went home and I went to bed, I kept repeating in my head and out loud quietly, " Devil Give me your power use my body and give me all your power " And then I must of fallen asleep , ( as I am currently reliving the experience in my head "right now" as I tell you this , I am getting goosebumps and my house is very hot? ) I thought I would share that with you.

Like I said I fell asleep and when I woke I remember the feeling of complete powerless not power like I asked for , as I was 1 inch from my ceiling being ragged about like I was weightless I was as stiff as a board facing my ceiling unable to talk unable to move a muscle in my body and scared out of my mind, And after about 30 seconds maybe ? I was took right above my bed and just simply dropped onto my bed , I remember my next human response was to just sleep and hope that I was dreaming and it would leave me alone and not return for more . I slept in the exact position that I was dropped, too scared to move and definitely too scared to call my brother in the other room.

When I woke the next day I remember felling good to be alive and remembered exactly what happened the night before . I told no one not even my family. But when i seen my brother he asked what the loud bang was in my room last night, I replied " I don't know I was sleeping " With major attitude in my voice I now believe that was probably me making that bang being dropped on my bed ? What do you think ? All I know is it happened and I never asked again to be the devil or have his power. Its funny how this memory has been repressed in my mind for so long and when I recall it , I remember everything about the experience even how I felt. I have had a few other experiences with things i cannot explain but none as major as this so ill keep them to myself. But if anyone has had a experience similar please reply as i would love to hear what others have experienced.

Thanks for taking the time to read my reply as i appreciate it is long .

I think what you are referring to here is an out of body experience. I did some experimentation with inducing a lucid dream as I am not able to have one on my own. I tried the yogic method of visualization and holding the body still and used lighting and such. I was drifting away, and felt as though.. I don't know what it was.. Maybe it was my soul or my consciousness, my energy body.. It felt as though it was rising out of my body, and once I realized something was happened, I freaked out and felt the same thud that you felt. When I spoke to someone about it, they told me it was an out of body experience. I think you may have meditated yourself into a sleep paralysis and were a lot more susceptible to being lucid and aware during the experience, hence also feeling as though you were drifting Way as you were falling asleep.

I freaked out also, because it happened for a few nights after I tried it, and I couldn't get to sleep because I was scared of what might happen. But it stops after a while. Maybe try a sedative to sleep. Don't meddle with things you don't understand is my advice.

Too many replies to wade through to see if its already been suggested, but have you ever been checked out for slep apnea ?

I was diagnosed a year or so ago. You basically get oxygen starved during sleep, which can cause all sorts of weird stuff. I stop breathing over 20 times an hour apparently. I got given a machine to use and now all is well.

Demons have been suspected as taking on the form of ETs.
