Hey I think I'm suffering from a sleep disorder called Sleep Paralysis. Anyone else experience this, and can give me some advice on how to fix it? I'm really not enjoying it...
So about 2 weeks ago I was taking a nap with one of the girls I'm a nanny for and I felt like I couldn't really drift off to sleep, so I started thinking. As I was thinking I need time to relax because my life is so busy right now, I started to hear this really loud static- like noise. The best way to describe this noise is when you yawn, you can't really hear much because of some sort of noise in your ear (well at least for me... ) and that's what i was hearing. I opened my eyes and saw just a dark figure, shaped like a teenage girl coming toward me. Yeah, I was scared out of my mind! I tried to get up-I couldn't move! No movement was happening whatsoever. So I tried to scream, and not a sound was made. I looked back at the figure again and she was closer so I tried standing again, but instead the upper half of my body was floating upwards, and I thought 'Woah! This isn't right!!' so I layed back down and as my head hit the pillow I found myself staring into Hammy's eyes, but they were COMPLETELY blank, like he was dead. And I looked back up at the figure and she was very close this time, but still just filled in black. Then I felt Hammy touch my foot and I knew I could move again. It was the most terrifying experience I've had. Needless to say I grabbed the baby and Hammy and ran out of the room!
Then yesterday, also laying down to take a nap, this time in my mom's REALLY comfy bed I was half asleep-or so I thought- and I heard the noise again except a BILLION times louder! I opened my eyes and looked behind me and sure enough, there was the girl I had dreamt of before except she was attacking me making it a little hard to breathe. I tried to move and yet again, I couldn't!! I tried to wake up, because this time I knew what was happening, and I couldn't do it!! I tried to scream but when I did, I heard the girl's scream. I floated up again a little, then layed back down, only to find the girl attacking my face, I can still see her face quite clearly, I'm actually kinda scared right now...but anyways it felt as though she were no further than an inch from my face. The only reason I was able to wake up is because my sister came home and slammed the door, and called my name. I seriously opened my eyes thinking she had heard my screaming and she was there to help me.
Has anyone experienced dreams like these?
