probably sleep paralysis.

:ditto:

Probable. I've had it twice, scared the ****e out of me the 2nd time that's for sure.

The walking around one is quite weird... depending on how often you feel like this, you might want to consider talking to a professional. But as i've said, i've only had it twice and that's not enough for me to be going to that's the Dr.
I also used to sleepwalk a lot (and do some crazy things as well) but that's passed now.

would sleeping pills kick this or not do you th ink?
No idea, and wouldn't really like to guess either.

How often are these occasions?

I wouldn't recommend taking sleeping pills because they tend to induce unnatural sleep and could leave you with stranger dreams than you already have. It may well be sleep paralysis, or you could be sleepwalking and getting back to bed before you become aware of it so that when you wake up still in bed, you assume it was a dream. Avoid spicy foods before you go to bed, keep your room well ventilated, stay hydrated and maybe leave a dim light on somewhere so you're able to come back to reality a little quicker when you wake up/sleepwalk etc.
Sleep paralysis. I get it... I also throw myself down stairs and once out of a window in my sleep (now I have to sleep on the ground floor). Go to the doctor, they might refer you to a sleep clinic. Sometimes they'll give you meds for it.

Hi,

I have these weird dreams where i feel like sum1 is holding me down, and it seems as if im awake! Another one is where i seem to get up and walk but walk in a paralysed state
They also seem very very real!!

I cant really describe them better then that but they seem stupidly real! and stopp me from wanting to sleep!

can anyone draw any light on this?


Yoda has heard of this dream. Often a monster will approach on the sleeping person also. We shall hope you recognize this dream, and fear not. However yoda often has dreams of beings near his greatness, and whilst recognizing this to not be true still fears what may be.
