Sleep paralysis?

[AdAstrα]

^@woeler it's also know as the ''old hag syndrome'' as there are people who report seeing some evil old creepy lady during sleep paralysis, lol.

If I saw that, I'd need therapy afterwards.

@AdAstra well, I'm a mentally strong person. But I admit if I would ever see something nasty like that, I'd really need some R&R afterwards.

[AdAstrα]

Well I consider myself to be strong mentally as well. But that sort of thing...no. I would freak out so bad.

It wasn't an old lady, I know that, hehe.

I lay on my back all the time really.
I really do believe it was just caused by all the stress, 'cause hey, he was my very first boyfriend and in the end, he cheated on me with 2 girls, I had to move out and stuff. Rough times.

@nathalie dont you think it also could've possibly be something supernatural, rather then stress? after all, you already convinced yourself you were clearly awake.

[nathalie]

Hmm, no, not really, as I'm a down-to-earth-kind-of-girl, I don't really believe in any of those things actually.
Because of everything I was going through at the time, I think I could have explained it so easy due to stress and the recent events.

I'm not even sure what to think about, something supernatural.
Meaning something could have been out to get me?

[SlayerOfLight]

@nathalie well, there are alot of people who had the exact same thing like you, while they didn't even had stress or any problems. it just randomly happens to alot of people, as if ''something'' is prowling arround like a roaring lion, seeking anyone to devour. not to try and scare you btw, but I think something was after you. And I know whitout doubt that there really are things which science doesn't even know about.

[nathalie]

Probably my ex trying to get me out of his house or something then.
Or something that happend during my school years, I was always being left out and hurt.

I haven't had another one since then, I can sleep without the lights off again, I ain't afraid of staying home alone at night, so I'm doing pretty good again, hehe.

@nathalie It has been said by many people who had sleep-paralysis as well, that these evil spirits or demons as I call them, feed on negative emotions. and alot of stress, depression, and as well arguments with boyfriends might attract them. It is science who say it's just a hallucination. But clearly your own senses told you otherwise, and rather seemed to warn you about something threatening. much like that animals can feel threats as well. for example, before the tsunami came in 2004, many animals were already even in panic before the disaster stroke.

@woeler then who knows we also have our instict that tells us wether there's a danger or not. I personally believe someone with a horrific case of sleep paralysis, shouldn't let others convince him or her it's only a hallucination, but rather follow his/her own senses. And not everything is well known about animals. we'll never be able to fully understand them, such as we'll never know what dogs dream about. it's possible for animals to contain a 6th sense which warns them of danger. There was said animals automatically moved to highler land as if they knew a tsunami was comming. Just saying, we might never fully understand an animal's mind besides it's basic instinct.
