This is not paranormal, but it's interesting nonetheless...

One night I woke up lying on the bed and saw this shadow in the dark looking at me.
I've felt strong pressure on my chest and couldn't move, nor make any sounds.
It was really creepy, just lying there helpless and unable to do anything.

However, when I woke up, I knew what happened.
Luckily, I've read about it before, other people who wrote about it have had exactly the same experience.

Apparently, when you enter the REM phase of sleep, your body becomes paralised so you don't move while you dream.
It is possible to wake up, at least partially, during the REM phase while your body is still paralised.
When something like that occurs, such things happen and you see things.
Or so I've read.

Sounds just like sleep paralysis.

I woke up that morning for Senior Skate day. I woke up early enough to drive over to a friend's house and burn down a few bowls Bob Marley style. . .We notice time is getting short so we all leave

We leave to hit up all the busses fixing to take off for Senior Skate Day. . .So I am high as hell having all these metacognative experiences while approaching the bus. I then get on the bus and realize I'm look at myself from an outter body experience down the hall way of the bus. . .
I thought man what did I just smoke, but I was not in my body it was weird. Then the lady at the front taking names says, "What is your name?" I pop back into a surrealist moment back inside my membrane of a body and think uhh Andrew. . .

So I got on the BUS super high basically and managed to make it all the way to the 2nd to back seat on the left. I sit down and enter back into a trance like outter body state almost seemingly clearing out all the sounds of the kids on the bus chatting it up with inanity. The solitudes of silence is where I was dwelling. After the scape of silence fell unto my mind I managed to yet again have an outter body experience watch myself this time outside of the bus looking through the window on my character. . .

I was looking out into the stars and that is when things really started to get weird. . . I managed to see this light as bright as a star @ 9am and this isn't the sun, it was a dot of light. I watched it thinking oh it is just a plane. . .I disregard everything and focus in on the inanity of Jamie this hot chick right behind me in the back seat. . .I'd hit it so that is why I fell outta focus. . .

Next I look back at the same spot and the light is still there. I am like wait a second this is not a plane . . . So I just remained silent and in aw of this event taking place. Sure enough I focus and then more stars of light start appearing. . . The dots of lights which look like stars at night except during the day time started blinking on and off. At this point I was thinking aliens had officially started communicating. I pass the event off as a paranormal event.

Sure enough though the direction I saw these entities appear was over the hospital of where my great grand mother was currently staying. . .These entities of light appeared 1 hour and half before the passing away of my great grandmother. . .To some extent I believe what I was witnessing was an event of the pass of the soul unto the heavens.

It was like all of her friends who had passed away were there to greet her in spirit as she journeyed through to the other side. To this day it has resonated with me and I can still see some of these stars appear and disappear. It makes me look at the stars in the universe a whole new way as well.

I do remember one instance that can fall on this category, but thinking back it's obviously just what Oscar had said, state of mind.

I usually rarely wake up at night but sometime last year or two years ago I woke up and as I was lifting my head to I "saw" what appeared to be a cat just sitting next to me in bed and moving his head. I froze and slowly put my head back in the pillow and kept overlooking at the "cat", over the sheets. Finally when I gathered the courage to do something about it and smack the "cat" in the face I went full force and just ended up smacking the air. Nothing there.

I know, Catz Lawlzzorsz!!1

Fuck, this reminded me of some strange out of body experience I had on third grade I think. I was throwing some rocks at some abandoned house's windows with my friend for some reason and then just out of nowhere I was inside the house looking out of the window, but it all ended fairly quickly when I fell down and some neighbour of the place started banging his window to stop us from destroying the windows. I wasn't high

Didn't really worry about it that much afterwards
