one thing about sleep paralysis is you are never supposed to open your eyes, I hear that makes it 100 times worse. you have to just relax. It actually is like the gateway to lucid dreaming but you have to be able to relax.
1. First time I can remember having sleep paralysis, I was in bed with my ex, and dozed off, then it felt like she was choking me while I was sleep but I couldnt move to get her off of me, so I start shaking uncontrollably then she wakes me up panicking trying to figure out why im shaking and sweating like crazy. I experience it more often then I'd like to admit but I have accepted it and I have actually been able to go lucid a couple of times.
2. When I was like 5 or 6, we are leaving our house and a car is blocking our driveway, my mom tells me and my cousin to hurry up and get in the car, we back out and go across the sidewalk to get out of the driveway. The car starts following us and I keep looking back, I see a guy hanging out the passenger side window with a gun but i have no idea what is going on, so we are in a high speed car chase on a main street, my mom ran like 5 red lights, stop signs, etc, and we go straight to the police station and the car doesn't stop, just keeps going. my mom makes a report but I dont think anything ever came of it. we moved from that street almost immediately after.
looking back at this, I have an idea of what was involved here but I have never spoken to my mom about it, ever.
3. about 11 years old, I was a young monkey, climbing up trees, on to garage and house roofs one day im climbing up this tree to see how high I can get, and I am pretty much at the top when the branch im on breaks, and im falling head first towards the ground for what seems like a lifetime and then I catch myself on one of the last large branches with my legs, hanging upside down about 5 feet away from the ground.
4. I use to work an overnight job 11p-7a and a day job from 11a-2p, one day I didnt get any sleep from the day to the night job, I get off work @ 7am and drive home, tired as ****. last thing I remember is getting off the expressway, next thing I know, I wake up and im driving on the sidewalk, a good 4 ft away from a tree and I swerve and miss it by what seems like a couple of inches. A bunch of kids are outside watching as I almost collide with the tree, there is a good 3 miles between the expressway and where I woke up at. I didnt have my seat belt on either so it wouldve been a wrap for me. since then, I NEVER..... NEVER get in the car and not wear my seatbelt... even if im in the back seat :/
5. My dad was killed when I was only a baby and people always tell me stories of how it happened and sometimes I have dreams like reliving it like watching it from a 3rd person view and it ***** me up every time. everyone always told me that he had dropped me off at home right before it happened it that drives me crazy
6. I use to have nightmares when I was like 4 until I was like 10 about this older lady with a tweety bird voice that wanted to kidnap me. she would hold me hostage in the mall and I would convince her to let me at least say goodbye o my family and when she would thats when I would wake up. This was a recurring dream I had like for years and years. But I never knew where the lady in the dream was from. So I get my first job at the central library here and who do I see as soon as I walk in? this lady, and I literally almost pissed on myself (I was 16) and she's like, I remember you, I use to come to your school when you were about 4 years old on the bookmobile. Needless to say, I started having those nightmares again. I had to quit that job. Thats part of the reason the movie insidious kinda ****** with me.
7. I had a dream one time that my Ex's brother in law was a pedophile so I always had a weird feeling about him. turns out he was molesting his step daughter. I was so mad because I had this dream like 2 years before it all came out. don't know if thats considered scary but It was creepy that my dream was right.
8. Had a gun pulled out on me after school one day by a guy who was mad at me for not letting him into my house party because I didnt know him.
9. sitting in my friends car after work one day in front of my house, we see a guy walking down the street with a large blanket, we think "this is weird, why is he carrying this blanket like this", he gets literally next to the car and pulls a shotgun from under the blanket and lets off shots. pellets ricochet and hit the car window and we panic but the the guy runs off. still have no idea who or what he was shooting at.
10. My cousin is over and we are about to leave out the house, as we are walking out, a gun fight breaks out right in front of our house with 3 dudes, all shooting at each other, my cousin tackles me back into the house.
it's not that serious
