can our feelings lie?

Just a touch of back ground. I will try not to bore anyone. I have as long as I can remember had problems sleeping. Being paralyzed as I sleep unable to move, what doctors told me were night terrors and night sweats. I actually never questioned this. I recently meet with a specialist that explained it had to do with diet. I really don’t feel I need to go into details on diet and insulin levels in the brain as I am sure the people of this site are not interested in such things. Once my diet was corrected I started to experience different issues at night then fear and being paralyzed. I have not been “taken” or anything like that. However I have had the feeling of a presence late at night when I am very relaxed. I have had questions about things. And have had Answers made to me. The answers come like thoughts and I hear my voice in my head answering my questions, just not the way I would talk. Does that make sense? I ask questions and answers are given. I am generally a very curious person, and some of the questions have gotten rather unique answers and I struggle where these answers come form. What I am curious about is has anyone else experience this kind of phenomenon. I would like to add a couple of key points. This always happens at night and while awake in bed. One I often feel a pulsing in my body before this happens. Often as if my whole body is pulsing with my heartbeat at the same time. Also I feel pressure on the top of my head and feel or hear a humming. Also when I ask a question of importance, when the answer comes if I question it there is like a pulse or wave of positive emotion to reinforce the answer. When I have what I call tried to put my own spin on something, I feel nothing. I don’t at this point want to talk about the questions I have asked or the answers I have received but rather if anyone else has had experiences similar to this. I did ask why I feel wave when the answer, and it was told to me that its to make sure I can tell the difference between my mind adding it own twist and what the true answer is. I thank you all for your time.

Fear not! You are not alone.

Remember that your physiology changes when your diet changes, and that your brain is a physical thing. Some of what you are experiencing can be attributed to less 'unusual' stimulus than what you might be inclined to be contemplating. Melatonin, serotonin, and many others may be at play in your experiences, making things more 'confusing' than they may be. This is no diagnosis, just a point to consider.

Your feelings cannot lie, if they did, it wouldn't be you. Keep in touch with your doctor/dietitian, they will need to know of this if they are to be of any help to you.

This is not intended to be 'professional' advice. You may be genuinely developing a perceptive ability, or empathic sensitivity you are unaccustomed to. Try not to alarm yourself over the matter. A friend of mine used to say, "If it gets freaky remember, this isn't you, it's something that's happening to you. That means you can deal with it, all you have to do is to remember to try."

Thanks for your words. They come when they are needed. It’s just the wave of feelings make me "feel" that this is important. I will say one thing, one of my questions was " am I going crazy" a large wave of positive feeling hit me, and what feels like my voice in my head said, " is anything I have answer to all your questions been Negative?" the answer is NO but still the human condition requires validation of its sanity.

I used to have the night terrors.
They *mostly* ended.
I am in control of my diet.

I feel very un alone and cyclically befriended. When I go to go to sleep, I sometimes feel a warm hand on my back-sometimes small, sometimes large. The sensation of. With an associated memory connection as to who or what it represents. I do have questions that weigh on my thoughts, as I rest answers and revelations/imput emerge.

I am able to rest and I feel un alone in my troubles. After so many night terrors, I find the experience welcome, appreciated, and somewhat interesting.
It's not always so rosy. But I am able to modify my thoughts to keep as many unpleasant experiences at bay as possible

i dont mean to sound like an idiot but i have had this all my life, and now you have said it, im not so sure if it is normal where as all my life iv never asked about it as i assumed it was the norm for every person. but it has never troubled me, i dont know what to say... am i some sort of idiot if i say i actually enjoy having it there and dont know what i eould do without it. is this a mental issue btw, well one that could have consequence?

please wb

I actually thought they were bad dreams for year, until I went away on a business trip with my boss. And I work up paralyzed and couldn’t move. I could feel a presence and I started breathing heavy. My boss woke up and was like "what wrong are you ok."I couldn’t talk and so kept breathing hard and fast. He flicked on the light, and boom I was able to move. After that I started to look for doctors to explain. I wouldn’t say that I myself welcome them. But they have definitely evolved. I still get the feeling often that I can’t move. But since I fixed my diet. They have been much more positive. Lots of lucid dreams and tons of out of body experience. Plus the recent addition of what I call dialog with a higher intelligence. It is this that I am much more confused by, and am searching for answers.

What is it you have experienced? Being paralyzed and feeling a negative presence in the room and you want to get away from. For myself is terrifying I can’t comment on your personal condition, but for me it had to do with my body creating large amounts of insulin in the brain. Which as the doc said, cause the brain to "short circuit" all kinds of weird things can happen. Doctor told me that it is found in people usually from British Germany back ground. As I followed up with my family, it is common with all of them, although nobody has ever talked about it. But again, I am now more interested in new experiences that have been occurring. The conversations with what all I can describe is a higher power or intelligence. Let me be clear there not answers to everyday problems. I have asked some pretty far out questions, and there is clear and detailed answers. Almost matter of factly. In almost ever conversation I state. “ I must be losing my mind, going crazy” but there is always this “postive pulse” saying “your not crazy” “your not losing your mind your opening it”

not a negative prescence, just a prescence and tbh the voice is the source of my wit, and yes sometimes i do feel very afraid and dont feel like i could move, is this what you mean? i mean this voice could easily mistook for you conscious right? its just when i "hear" it its not how i talk. and i dont know if this is related to it bu my vision picks up speckles that others dont see, when i look kind of out of the outside, i have asked people if they see this, they think im crazy, and i have had the am i crazy, no your not thing so many times its unreal. i am worried now. but as i right this it is in action telling me not to worry, what is there to be afraid of?.i think your right it is the heightened capacity of our intelligence being utilised.
sort of an extra couple of senses. i agree with you totally. like picking up on prescences, that was called the sixth sense right? well there are obviously more we dont know about. i know im not mentally ill, just mentally different like everyone who has written abou there experiences.
oh thats another thing, it so easily brings words to me, thats why im able to babble on for ages lol. please wb...

Mine used to be negative, and when i say i cant move it is total paryalsis.

en.wikipedia.org...

this is all the things i used to have, but as my diet changed to correct this. The experiences are still there, but there is the voice some nights. As well as out of body experiences. stuff like that. about the speckles of light. I have always had that as well, but wrote it off as eveyone had it. mmmmm thats so weird i never thought that had anything to do with this. try focusing the questions to ones you dont know the answer to. for me i have been 'Told" this is a higher intlleigent off well " the cosmos" but if we are truly apart of that then i guess its apart of it. The reason i posted it was i have asked a couple of questions in regards to time, aliens and stuff. the answers have not been what i expected. I was expecting to find people with similar experiences. OR people telling me i am crazy. which was my bet from the get go. However soooo many people are having unique experiecnce in the time. i figured this was as good place to look. After reading several links you can tell there are some great people on this site. And some complete WACK jobs
