I think my dog had something like that a few months ago...
He usually sleeps in his crate near our bed, and some time around 6am we heard a crash (like he kicked the grate of the wall of his crate), so we both got up to check on him. Otis was laying on his side, but his eyes were open. He wouldn't move - I thought he was dead. My heart sank. After about 10 seconds he was looking at us, but still wasn't moving, then 5 seconds later his tail started wagging. but the rest of his body was still, then probably 10 seconds after that he popped up and stretched, and was 100% normal. We went to the park and he ran and played like a mad man.

Last night!
A woman stood by my bed, then came over close to my ear & whispered my name. My body felt impossibly heavy & all I could move was my eyes. I looked over & saw reflections of skulls moving along the wall & tried screaming to wake myself up.
Matt said I wasn't making any sense.
The end.

I usually get them detoxing. I dont see anything. more of i wake with a sense of something not good just outside my line of vision and i cant move, and feel a weight pressing on me. But had a few of them now to not panic and start concentrating on moving my feet to bring me out of that comatose like state. All in all theyre sketchy and i prefer not to have them. Remember coming out of one time swingin.

had them my whole life, but they've fallen off the last few years. Altogether a very strange experience. A sense of evil spirits coming to destroy your being. Similar to the vagaries of a really bad mushroom trip.

Wow, this thread is interesting. Back in my early 20's I had one or two episodes where I was taking a nap during the day, and started to wake up only to realize that I couldn't move or talk. I could hear everything going on around me, but I was immobile. After freaking out in my mind for a few minutes, I forced myself to calm down and go back to sleep and was able to wake up normally.
I've been trying to actively get it to happen again since then with no success. I'm not sure how to trigger it, if that's possible.......
- lack of sleep and stress or workload are contributing factors23kon

There's an app for iphones that records what you say in your sleep during the night - it only records when it senses noise so you get speech, bumps, burps,farts etc.
I thought it might be fun to download and listen to the crap I say as I seemingly come out with the most random crap.
I installed it on my phone but have never used it.
The reason being .... what if you heard OTHER voices in your bedroom while you were alseep.
FUUUUUUCCCCKKKK THHHHAAAAATTTTTT!

Mine involve black shadow demons/spirits, eerie sounds sometimes black animals and a feeling like something is leaning over my body trying to suffocate me. When I get these it's usually when there's a drop in temperature like from cold drafts or if the covers fall off, as I always feel ice cold when it happens.

Interesting that they are triggered when laying in Shavasana (corpse pose) position as a friend of mine said the same thing last week.

"so you're physically paralyzed in your nightmare state. The line between awake and asleep becomes blurred. This paralyzation is usually accompanied by visions of an evil black shadow at the foot of the bed "
These are not night terrors, it's sleep paralysis and hypnopompic hallucinations. I think night terrors are much more serious, these are natural and the like the opposite of a lucid dream.
I got them all the time when I had a really bad sleeping pattern, the good news is if you're getting these then you're also close to getting lucid dreams and often if you wake with sleep paralysis and hallucinations then you can sometimes close your eyes and slip straight into lucid dreams, which is fun.
The hallucinations can also be much more solid than just black figures, I've seen floating objects and all sorts of stuff while paralysed.

I had a similar dream a couple of weeks ago, but I didn't experience sleep paralysis then.
My 'demon' was a black voodoo-looking woman... she asked me to look into her eyes, then she came charging at me. A second before she attacks me I actually consciously thought "it's just a dream, I can just stand my ground", but then at the last moment before she attacks I thought it was real. I yelled and woke myself and and my girl up. Freaky, but it didn't bother me after I was awake.
- Though I did experience the sensation of not being able to get away fast enough.sine

I left the TV on in my bedroom last night so that it wouldn't happen. I heard that helps.
I can definitely bring on the terror by sleeping on my back. But I'm consistently a side sleeper. Anyway, I don't think I'll be trying it on purpose anytime soon.
