Sounds like sleep paralysis. It's pretty normal. I know about a douzen people who experience it regularly. Some people just interpret it as a dream (like you are).
No one knows why it happends for sure, but there's speculation that it's caused by stress, insomnia and drugs (like sleeping pills).
Or you could listen to ms.Cleo's assistant here and sprinkle your bed with fairy dust :wtf: |

i dunno but ive had some really baaaaad insomnia these past 2 weeks.
even though i seem to be handling it well.
i did have a sleep terror once.
was a normal dream til i felt some horrible, horrible prescence.
i fell on the floor (in my dream) completely unable to move with fear.
i try to remember what it felt like when im awake sometimes but i cant get close to the amount of fear in that dream. |

lol
yea but during sleep paralysis, i'm pretty sure you are completely awake. it happened to me before. it has to do with your mind being abruptly awakened before your body is able to get out of "sleep mode" which is basically like paralysis (otherwise we would wake up and act out our dreams, if this part of sleep didn't happen to us). i'm actually dreaming this though...when i'm sleeping. but you're right, i'm also experiencing these little short episodes of sleep paralysis too. |

| Of the people I know who have this, about half of them describe it as a dream. It's not like you go from being asleep to waking up in a split second. Those things usually occur during the hypnopompic state, which explains the confusion between dreaming and consciousness that people describe. It's more like an hallucination than an actual dream - but most can't really tell the difference anyways. |

| If your mind wakes up, you think you're awake but you're not fully awake 'cause your body's sleeping, it's called astral projection. Is this the time when you feel it's presence? Along with when you're dreaming? |

Astral Projection is an OBE but Lucid dreaming isn't, as I said before Lucid Dreaming is when you can control your dreams.
P.S. Did you know that if you're having an OBE and all you have is your astral body, you can infact have intercourse with other people that are having an OBE? :) |

| I know the difference between dreaming and having sleep paralysis. I’m telling u right now that sleep paralysis is strictly about the mind waking up (usually very abruptly) before the body “waking up”. It’s usually accompanied by the whole evil spirit/presence being on top of you and other creepy similar feelings. It’s called the HAG phenonmenon and it has nothing to do with evil spirits despite the experience. I did TONS of obsessive research on the topic about 3 years ago when I had my first “night terror” experience. I even looked at countless “ghost chaser” websites of all these nerds who look for spirits and hauntings, and even they dismiss sleep paralysis, saying that it’s not about ghosts and all of that. It’s strictly a hallucination of the mind due to the physical and mental circumstances going on during this experience. |
