Well, Today i was sleeping and i wanted to get up. So i tried to get up and i couldn't even move a muscle. I was fully awake but my body wouldn't do anything as if i was paralyzed i couldn't open my eyes or make any type of noise to get attention. All i was able to do was breath and think. But after a few seconds i was back to normal. It was the scariest few seconds of my life. Has anyone one else encountered this problem? I told my dad what has happen and he said that his dad use to tell him that it was a witch sitting on his back? Thats pretty creepy now i am cautious about sleeping...

I had that once but with my legs, I just could not feel them for 1 min and I was scared

i could seriously take the piss out of your religion but i wont.

And Wtf is gnu.. go back to your terrorist school you retard.

EDIT : HE`S BANNED LOL YES!!

How did this thread turn in to religion discussion?. Back to the orginal thread. This has happened me once and it scared shit out of me.

Sleep paralysis.

Somthing similar happened to me one morning except I woke up and couldnt see anything for like five minutes like I was completely blind It was so scary

Exactly lol not trying to turn this into a flame war or anything but religion is all screwed up. Im agnostic

Happens to me too but not anymore. It's pretty scary at first but you get used to it. Sometimes it feels like i can't breathe and I'm about to suffocate or sometimes I have some weird hallucinations. It's nothing to worry about so don't think to much about it. It is called sleep paralysis like people have mentioned already. You might have a feeling that you are awake and just going about your normal day when in reality you're still in bed. One time, I thought i heard my older siblings having a conversations but they weren't really there lol. I'm not sure how to describe it. Also, when your dad said that a witch was sitting on your back, I'm pretty sure that came from folklore.

This is nothing to be afraid of. It is actually pretty cool if you think about it. Sleep paralysis is when you become coherent and start to awake while your body is still in the REM stage of your sleep cycle. While in REM your body cant move so that you don't hurt yourself while sleeping. It is a fail safe that your body does. Once or twice in your life time your mind starts to awake before your body has fully recovered from REM making it seem like you are paralyzed and could last for a few seconds or even a few minutes.

This used to happen to me alot; once a month about 3 years ago. I could hear my heart beat really loud, couldn't move, and coudln't do anything apart from lying there. It felt like i was the only one left in the world and when my mum woke up and i heard her, i would snap back to reality. I would have a headache for the rest of the day that would kill.

I had started puberty when i was 11 and i never knew the reason why i was acting like this. It happened one time where i didn't wake up, but i shouted and screamed for my mum; without realizing it. The next thing i knew was that i was in hospital with doctors standing round me. I had a seizure/fit caused by testosterone that releases huge doses during puberty each month. How old are you? If your 11-21 years old i suggest you go to the doctor and tell them about this, they will arrange and EEG (or ECG i can't remember which one >.< and look at your brain. Get this sorted quick otherwise you will be on carbamazapine (tablets) for two years like i was :/
