Sleep Paralysis and Feeling Extreme Pain Posted: 09-18-07 17:45pm
greetings, new here
i have been going through sleep paralysis
since i was a little kid, i remember every
single detail, i was wide awake, but could
not move. as years passed, the episodes
have been evolving. I started to feel
extreme pain on random parts of my body,
most often on my ribs, legs, and crotch
area. Theres are even times during an
episode, where i see a set of police
figures beating me with batons, every
single blow, an immense feel of pain
rushes through me. Is this normal, To feel
pain during an episode, no where have i
heard of pain being experienced in an
episode.
Ive also tried sevral sleep positions,
whether im on my back, left side, or right
episodes occur, i even get them during
naps.
thanks

i have actually felt pain in my dreams as
well, like the other night, i had a dream
about my dad, and he was, in my dream,
back with my ex step mother who i am not
fond of, and in my dream, the pain that i
felt inside was so intense, that i don't
even feel intense pain like that in waking
life. it's so strange how i ask people if
they can fly in their dreams, or control
them, or ever wake up in someone elses
home while still asleep, and nobody can
relate to me. i am also curious if it is
normal to feel pain in dreams. feedback is
greatly appreciated from me as well

It feels better to know I am not the only
one. You are the first I have found to
have the extreme pain durring sleep
paralysis, I have it in the same places
too, along with others. It feels like I
am being ripped apart or someone is
twisting my muscles and organs. I wish I
knew what caused the pain. Just know that
you are not alone, I feel better knowing
i'm not crazy. I went for a sleep study
once and they said they had never heard of
it either, but someone must know why there
is pain and how to stop it! If anyone
knows why please let me know! My guess is
that since I can't breath there is not
enough oxygen reaching the blood and
therefore my muscles start cramping and
freaking out. Any other guesses?

well, dreams usually mean something, and
they work from your subconsious, however
that works lol so it could be
something that you may dealing with in
your everyday life that you're having a
hard time accepting, or maybe something
form your past that you never came to
terms with? not sure hun when trying to get
a grasp from a scientific point of view,
it's very difficult, because almost every
possibility is over looked. it's sad but
true.

thanks, the article did help. I have now
accepted the fact gracefully of course
since its impossible to cease the
disorder, the only way to substantially
reduce it that works for me, is to sleep
intoxicated. i dont recommend it, but it
gets the job done.
by the way, when ever i sleep on the back
position, and go through an episode, i did
not have the control to breathe, or at
least i think.
anybody else go through this?
thanks

thank you for the advice, now that i think
about it, whenever i do have a few drinks,
and go to sleep, it doesn't really bother
me. hmmm thank you for the input it's always nice to
know that one is not alone in things. it
is said that on the back position, it's
easier to have episodes, and i myself have
found that it is true. why i don't know
but the whole thing is really difficult to
get used to.

My boyfriend also experiences pain during
sleep paralysis.
I've been looking everywhere to find other
people. And ask them about it.
It seems like it would be really scary.
I'd like to ask questions about other
parts of sleep paralysis....
Can you be pulled out of an episode by
someone "waking" you again?
or does that just make it more painful?
Can you tell if someone is having an
episode of sleep paralysis, like has
someone ever noticed that you were having
one?

im not sure, just this morning my dog
sneaked in my room in the middle of the
night. Then later in the night i went
through an episode, i can feel the dogs
fleas on my body and i could still not
move nor wake up, so i doubt a person can
wake you up.

whenever i go through an epsiode, i can
open my eyes, but not move them, and can
see around me. so maybe a good way to tell
is if you see your boyfriend with his open
and not moving. maybe. im not sure...
if ure boyfreind is looking for a remedy,
and live here in california, i suggest
medical marijunana, never have i gone
through an episode while on it
if you and him arent too fond on the use
of it, i dont know of any other remedys
