I don't know if there has already been such a thread, but the idea seems cool:

Has anything high unusual, be it psychological, "paranormal", inexplicable happened to you?


I'll start: I had in 2001-2002 five experiences of sleep paralysis - OK, that's not paranormal or inexplicable, but its WEIRD AS HELL.

I "wake up" - that is, open my eyes and become fully conscious - but I can't move my body. There's more: one time, I guess the second, I sensed a presence, it was a "bird", the room was dark and the suggestion was made my a carton box near the ceiling that flipped with the wind and sounded like a bird's wing during flight. I coud actually "see" a shadow of a bird, but I coundt move my head so I couldnt actually follow "it". I thought it was a raven.

The last time it lasted longer - maybe half an hour - and it was the first time I was afraid instead of amused by it, since I thought - Gee, it's taking longer, what if I never snap out of it?". This time I tryed so hard to move, that I feld my legs and then my whole body falling out of bed and then crawling painstakingly to the corridor outside my bedroom - but then I realized I had not moved a centimeter and I was still lying in bed

It was very common for me to try and move arm or leg so hard that I thought for a while I had done it - but then SNAP, nothing moved, not even my head, nothing. But this last time I was sure I was crawling on the flour - though with EXTREME difficulty - but it was all fake also.

In all of the occasions, it was after an afternoon nap, dusk, little lighting in the room.

Sleep paralysis is the opposite of sleepwalking: in the latter, your bady awakes but your mind dreams, in the former, you mind awakes and your body doesnt - it may even dream it's moving!!!!
