About 3 am last night had a sensation of some dark negative force in the bedroom and then felt this weird cold force move on top of me and could literally feel energy waves coursing through my body. I remember being awake and trying to fight it. I could not move to save myself and of my catholic upbringing. I remember my, dog, who sleeps at the foot of bed, growling in a strange low manner. Woke up this morning drained and could barely get dressed and make it to work.some bruises on my upper arm. Probably hit the bed post. Have had this experience a few times in my life. Did some research and pretty interesting. http://www.nosleeplessnights.com/sleep-paralysis-stories-intruder-demon-or-delusion/Anyway I always try and approach things in a logical most simple explained manner and enjoy analyzing my dreams. I sometimes wake up when I'm dream and can simultaneously analyze dream at same time in a trance like state. Human brain is pretty amazing.

Bruises as in from a blood clot? Might of been a pulmonary embolism. Buddy of mine just about died from a series of them earlier this year. Not something to mess with.

I sometimes wake up when I'm dream and can simultaneously analyze dream at same time in a trance like state. Human brain is pretty amazing. I have episodes of sleep paralysis about 5 times a year or so. When it happens I'm awake and see things around me like monsters in my bedroom or strangers standing there looking at me, but I can't move a muscle. Absolutely terrifying. It usually takes all my strength to regain the use of my muscles and then I usually can't get back to sleep for a long time. It seems to happen mostly early in the night and generally when I am laying on my left side. Go figure. Someone on this thread mentioned needing a sleep study. I suffered for years with what turned out to be sleep apnea, which I didn't know until I had a sleep study a few weeks ago. My advice: get the sleep study done right away.

Never had it happen to me, but have hears about it quite a bit. What I find interesting is the number who report the "old hag" sitting on them, leaving them unable to move. You'd think hallucinations would be random and varied, but they are very often strikingly similar. Had a friend who used to have these episode's, sometimes he would manage to call out and if someone heard him and could move him he was fine. Weird stuff.

I'm lucky if I can remember one dream a year.
There's a movie on Netflix about people with night paralysis.

I would think apnea could cause oxygen-deprived hallucinations.
And verified deaths - don't mess around, get checked out soon.

My wife had them about 2 dozen times in her late teens and early 20's. She calls them 'shadow people'

friend of mine has the condition where he doesn't have the sleep paralysis,he can get up and move while sleeping. one dream he told me about,he dreamed he was fighting the devil for his brother and his dad,tug of war,as it were. when his wife turned on the light he woke up, realized he was trying to pull the mattress through the door frame.

JMHO and I'm no doctor, but get the sleep study done right away. Call your doctor tomorrow. Sleep apnea can be fatal, in rare cases. Far worse is the unnecessary stress on your cardiac and pulmonary systems.

When I was younger I had those fairly often. Frightening things. Still in REM sleep yet aware. Old Hag, where do you think the stories of a succubus come from?
