Wow that is really scary, and I'm sorry to hear that your being tormented like this. I don't know much about sleep paralysis, but I'm wondering...did this start happening after the use of a sleep aid medication? A friend of mine began having dreams while awake exactly like the ones your describing, but she didn't have them ever until she started using a prescription sleep aid. Let me know how your sleep has been, and good luck with it.

Ive had sp once in my life it was about 10 yrs ago but i still remember the experience like it was last night. At the time i was 23, loved to get drunk and take extasy pills with my girlfiend. I hadnt had any pills for few days, i was lying asleep in bed, on my back with my girlfriend lying asleep next to me. I was'nt havin a bad dream in fact i was'nt having any dream but i was awoken at round 4 a.m by a very strong force pinning me to my bed and i was keep drifting in and out of sleep, i remember very clearly trying to wake up or even open my eyes to see what was there holding me down but to no prevail. I tried so very hard to cry out to my girlfriend to wake her up to help me but had to struggle really hard to make a sound. The sense of an evil presence in the room was so overwhelming that during tryin to wake up and being forced back to sleep i could feel every single hair on my body stand on end. After a few moments of struggling I gave one last try with everything I could muster and tried lifting my head off the pillow, I could feel the force tryin to push my head back down, I eventually won and managed to wake up and instantly woke my girlfriend and i remeber being pretty angry at her for not hearing me shouting of her for help. She said "im sorry but i didnt hear anything". She quickly dozed off agen n i was left shaken a bit wondering what just happened the like. As i started to doze i could feel it startin agen so I quickly said to myself sod this im staying awake. Its now ten yrs later, I dont touch extasy anymore and ive never had another sp. I thought the experience must have had something to do with extasy pills so i never gave it much though really until the last week or so. Ever since i was 12 yrs old ive had a sense that there is something more to life but could quite put my finger on what it was, I remember sitting on the toilet in my nanna's when a question came to my mind, It was why am I here and is this some sort of test.
I would say that ive had my fair share of pain in life, mostly because drugs do us no good and I chose bad friend. When I was about 22 I was at a really low point in my life after nothing ever goin right for me and people taking advantage all time n taken the piss and sleeping with yer girlfriend and badness everwhere u look. I found the world to be such a horrible place to be. Im a protestant and ive never been christened but I found myself prayin to god to end all this pain and suffering for me as i was also having suicidle thoughts. Infact it was only the thought of leaving my nanna behind greaving me thats kept me here id say. Now ive never prayed before this point, used to rock back and forward and just pray for it all to end when there was a knock at my door. I never used to like people knocking but i always felt obligated to answer the door. I quickly dried my eyes and answered the door, I saw a male stranger standing at the door in casual cloth's not a suit, he was middle age about 40 id say, he was holding a book, he started talking but i couldnt really here what he was about, its like a had a shell round me and would'nt let anything from this world come into it, i knew he was speakin english but couldnt make out what he was sayin then a single word come through as clear as anything CHRISTIAN!! I let the gentleman in to my home as at the time i lived alone. He talked a bit about god and asked me if i knew the jesus was our saviour and a said yes but im not clear on most of it. The man could see that i was troubled and i felt as though i could really trust this man and gave him a brief outline of my state of mind and he ended up leaving me a bible to read. I remember reading through and as i read i felt so comforted. It had me smiling and crying and laughin for short spells. Very soon after life just dragged on and on, then thing got in the way of me reading bible and it soon was pushed to one side. I put most of my time into video games to escape my unhappy reality. soon i got a pc n after while i started searching and searchin, not really sure what for. I remembered feeling hope when i read a bit of the bible so i searched for jesus related downloads from mininova etc. I got this documentary called the life of jesus and it was a recording from bbc in 3 parts. In the very 1st few minute it was sayin something like scientists were able to take the skies back 2000 yrs or so and to their amazement there was an astrological event that has never been know before in the history of humanity taking place at the very time that the bible states the three wise men were following. Well i was totally amazed with this and could feels myself wanting to find out as much as i possibly could about jesus. To tell u the very truth as im writing this, the more i looked and the more questions i had, i started to find answers and the more answers i found the more the bible was revieling it self to be true. Ive heard peoples testimonies on you tube because the hav had and nde or near death experiences and most of them or absolutely amazing stories, but of the thousands of NDE's they are all very similar. After all this searching im now 32 and ive got absolutley NO DOUT!!!! that there is and afterlife and that god is real and jesus is real and is our savior and our light in the midst of all this darkness around us. I could go on but anyway the is no medication for an sp nor can any psycic help in this matter, infact psycic would make it worse as any form of tryin to communicate with the dead or anything of the nature is agaisnt the bible and only promotes the occult. The only way to stop this is to protect yourself or shield yourself with the shield of faith. To strengthen your shield of faith all you have to do is getting to know god and relise that jesus is your savior. Start your search asap also the book of revelations is a part in the bible that tells us about our present and FUTURE events. prophecy continues to be fulfilled and u will soon have no dout at all if u search for him. happy hunting xD

yup x pills will do that .... youre right ... its a horrible feeling!

I've being having the same problem for as long as I can remember.If I fall asleep facing up I am guaranteed a nightmare. They are usually very scary but sometimes they are very exiting.I usually get the feeling of extreme power against me or coming from inside of me.I have read that this is caused because your tongue gets stock on your through and you run out of breath so you are kind of half asleep trying to wake up. You get the feeling of something supernatural but this is really caused because of physical discomfort. This physical discomfort messes around with your mind because you are not fully awake when this intensive experience happens.
