  ever have nightmares where you cant move or even wake up or talk or anything , I had one last night , I was drawing the letter L for some strange reason then I see a dark room , feeling brave I went in as soon as I went in I heard a roar and the room shook , I wanted to get out of the room but I was stuck, then I was getting freaked out and wanted to wake up but could not open my eyes , thank god for the misses who herd me mumbling ...

  It was like Lucid dreaming cause I knew I was stuck and wanted to wake up but I could not, not the first time it happens either where I feel held down or something, feels creepy

  Usually I know when I am dreaming or having a nightmare, but once in a while I will have some where I feel like I am paralyzed and/or that my mind is working but I can't move anything....

  I don't think I've ever had a nightmare. I do however have really realistic dreams in which I'm conscious enough to know what is going on, and continue in my dream knowing exactly what I am doing and able to remember everything.

  Also, if I wake up I can usually "get back" to whatever was going on rather quickly.

  I used to think everyone was able to do this until I found out that most people can't remember their dreams, let alone seemingly conciously interact with them.

    I get that quite often. I can wake up and go back to sleep, continue the dream but also influence it– creative-2/5

    Interesting thanks a lot for the link.– flavorful3/5

    I have the same thing, except I can't always go back to the scene / situation. I also don't remember everything.– Jaline4/5

    Having said that, I do remember the long ones I have.– Jaline5/5

  I had a dream the other night I went to some comedy club. For some reason Bonnie Raitt was mc'ing and introducing the acts. One was a midget. He was pretty good but I guess he had pissed Bonnie off earlier in the evening. When he left the stage she made a real off color remark about his height. It was very awkward for everyone.

  • Bonnie's always making people feel uncomfortable. She's really awkward like that.– AndyRoss1/2

  I had a dream last night that there was a massive storm on Monday morning that meant I couldn't get into work, trees were down, floods, the full works. Then today I read this: http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/H…

  oh man i had a similar experience. In my dream I was in my room, sitting on my bed, it was too real looking. Then ghosts were circling around the room, really fast so that there were gusts of wind. I was so freaked out.. tried to scream, nothing came out. tried to stand up..nothing. Then i tried to wake myself up.. and i couldnt. I dunno how i finally woke up but ... scary!

  • almost every story about sleep paralysis i've heard involve ghosts swriling around. very intersteing.– usrper1/2

    i never saw any entities during paralysis but also often tried to wake myself up unsuccessfully.– invisiblechamber2/2

  you know it happened most when I sleep facing up on my back, something about the blood rushing to the back of the head or something, but every nightmare I wake up from I wake up in that position , what gives

  most of the above sounds very familiar to me. happens to me since childhood. i have only german info-links here but i think what jaline posted is about it. sleep paralysis. that paralysis itself is no disorder. its normal function is to prevent you from moving around while sleeping. only when it does not stop freezing your body in sync with waking up it gives you this terrible being-trapped feeling. so it's no nightmare but a brain-awake / body-asleep state - bad dreams just come as a reaction to this. i read stuff about it - remembering some facts: about 20% of all people have it (but most of them don't know and think it's just nightmares), it happens more often in summer, dreams within dreams are explained through this phenomenon. it is the medical reverse of sleepwalking. trying to wake up oneself is a common reaction (i found out that if you don't try this and can manage to become aware of this now being this paralysis thing again and calm down it is much less horrible). and ha!: i read some science article once that claimed that this alien abduction frenzy is caused by sleep paralysis - that was years ago - i'm still waiting...

  On an unrelated note, I have the opposite of sleep paralysis as my legs are always moving when I'm sleeping (or standing, sitting, doing anything basically).

  I think it does stop or at least is tamed when I'm in REM though... Someone made a comment about how my legs never stop moving and I said, "Yea, even when I sleep they're kicking around."

  To which at the same time two people at the table said:

  01. No, they don't.
  02. It's not as bad as I remember it.

  And there were only three people including myself at the table... sha sha shaaa!

  you have sleep paralysis... uncommon in people over 25, tends to happen frequently to teenagers and college kids... stress, bad sleep schedule, bad nutrition. i had hypnogogic sleep paralysis with severe auditory hallucinations for years, still get it every now and then but has tapered off as i dont sleep on my back anymore. i use to think i was being abducted by aliens (started when i was like 13), you ever sleepwalk?

  • The one or two times it happened I was sleeping on my back. But I usually sleep on my side.– Jaline1/2

    i can't sleep on my back because my cat does.– invisiblechamber2/2

  and creative people seem to be struck by it preferably.
  but that probably tantamounts stress, bad sleep schedule, bad nutrition,...

  I used to have the same dreams over and over again when I was younger. They were always about E.T. or vampires. I knew I was dreaming, so it wasn't a big deal. Also, I don't call them nightmares because, since I knew I was dreaming, I knew I had control over what happened and therefore didn't have to worry about dying.

  I'm falling but I don't land. I become lucid and have to wake myself up.
