Wondering if anyone has experienced this? I used to get it quite frequent at my mom's house in calif.. if anyone has experienced sleep paralysis, it's a horrible feeling, caught between sleep and being awake, in this state I'd find myself floating in my room, in the hallway and totally aware that I was awake and not dreaming.. I would struggle to move my arm or leg to wake up.. it' a horrible feeling and many times, after experiencing this I dreaded going back to sleep for fear of this happening again.... I've never experienced that in my own house. However, just recently I went back to Calif for a funeral, the passing of my brother and stayed at my mom's house. Nothing unusual happened while there but when I got back home, the first night sleeping in my own bed, I had a mini sleep paralysis.. but it didn't last very long.. it hasn't happened again and it's been about a month.. Just wondering what causes this and if anybody else gets this?

First, I am very sorry to hear about your brother's passing over. It is especially difficult for a parent when a child precedes them in death. Hope your mom is ok. Probably needs some "extra" phone calls for awhile to get through this time.
I have gotten sleep paralysis many times. There are a lot of youtubes about it. It can be scary because you feel helpless and try everything you can to get your body to cooperate and move but it can't. Seems your conscious mind woke up before you did is how I figure it.
One thing that happens to me a lot but is a bit different is I will wake up in a dream or on my way to falling asleep and then can control things consciously. Some call that soul travel. Others might refer to it as lucid dreaming. Not scary like sleep paralysis but is actually fun and exciting because you are traveling in real time here and now. You can flit about pretty much anywhere you want to go. I have often gone back to my home town on Long Island to see the changes. I used to do "spiritual exercises" for soul travel when I was younger and have gone off planet which was exciting. The thing that got me about that experience was while there I saw the Earth rotating really fast and it didn't match with my understanding of the planet. Years later I saw a video taken from one of our new space explorers looking back at Earth and it was exactly how I had seen it.
With the sleep paralysis, for me at least I often think I heard a noise in the house or feel the presence of entities nearby and around me and my way out of that situation is to wake my body up but can't. So I try to scream until finally I can and I know I wake up screaming and can finally move. Usually to a racing heart. Scares the hell out of my cats.

Thanks Rob.. yes, this has been very hard on my mother when my brother Joey got sick, it was a shock to most of us.. he used to work with fiberglass and did not wear a mask and messed up his lungs, he never smoked cigarettes.. They were very close. My mom has lots of friends, my 2 other brothers live close by and my nephew is staying with her and she has 2 other tenants and they help her.. Also we have a lot of close relatives that live close and visit her often..she likes to have a lot of company over.. I'm going back next month or in March for a week to help her organize things, she's a bit of a hoarder and I like to help out by organizing, help decorate and clean things.... I would like her to come stay with us here in Oregon, she really wants to but she says when the weather warms up, in the late spring summer when the flowers are in bloom... I'd love it. lol.. She has a lot of animals too. she rescues cats too.. lol...
About the sleep paralysis, I've been told and have read it could be fear, stress or as you said, even something paranormal.. the odd thing is, aside the mini one I had last month this has never happened to me at my own house, only at my mom's house.. I remember one time, at mom's, I felt as if I was being held down by something.. an entity or a demon or whatever.. but usually during one of those episodes, I would just struggle to move my arm or leg to wake up. I suppose if I were in a coma, this is how it might feel. I've experienced lucid dreaming only one time.. I knew I was dreaming and deliberately took myself to a lake and floated about the water just high enough to dip my toe.. As I was hovering (fully aware I was dreaming or manipulating the dream, I felt the wonderful sensation of my toes touching the cool water.. that was an awesome feeling.. then I woke up.. Very cool you experienced all of that via lucid dreaming. I've tried to get to that point again but it never seems to happen .

Do you know the history of your house?
Could be any number or reasons for sleep paralysis:
Sleep Paralysis | National Geographic
Have you ever done a sleep study?
I always seem to have a problem if I sleep on my back. Hard to breath, creates anxiety and is just plain uncomfortable for me. That may be a cause of sleep paralysis.
Love all the scary stuff on this subject on youtube so it goes to show there are many reasons. My mother had some interesting experiences. One time she was asleep, woke up fast, opened her eyes and saw a 9 foot being bent over her bed, staring into her face from a foot away. Another time she saw a blonde, curly haired monkey which started to then run around the room. Unfortunately that was before the age of Trump as president (whom she would have loved) and I could have had a LOT of fun with that one lol.

My parents bought the house in the early 1980's. It's an older house, which after my father passed in 1991, my mom had it remodeled and an addition.. It's an older house, historic, really cute house, I think from the 1930's but I don't know the history beyond the previous owners who were house flippers. Those videos are interesting, especially the sleep study one, it's a very helpless feeling..

And another thing about my Sleep Paralysis. During an episode I would always be afraid to open my eyes and look around the room because I didn't want to see anything "paranormal," knowing I was in the state part dream part awake.. because many times I would get up and walk to the door like I normally would, once awaken ready to start my day.. but in S.P. I dreamt myself getting up but I was awake, fully aware, it was foggy like dream state but this one time, I opened my eyes and saw my mom's little dog in the hallway.. the weird part, is the little dog, bootsie had died a few years before.. but I saw her there, waiting by the door for my mom, the way she did in life. My mom was crazy about that dog.

Coast to coast had a medium on a few weeks ago and she said that our departed animals stick around with us after death. It makes sense that you would be able to see Bootsie while at a higher vibration. If that is true I have a zoo all around me.

I have no problem believing is this, since I often still feel the souls of the cats that we've had in our family throughout my house, including the one (Schubert) that we lost last October 30. They are, after all, Family.

I always catch shadows on the floor at the corner of my eyes all the time. I know they are there. |
