Have you ever experienced it? It's so horrible.
My parents are loud af in the mornings, so sometimes I type 'sleepy music' on YouTube and put my headphones in. Anyways, I share a room with my sister and she left for work so I was aware she wasn't in the room anymore. I 'heard' my sister calling my name and I was trying to take my headphones off but it wouldn't work -- with all my willpower and strength it wouldn't come off! She kept shouting and shouting it.
Finally, it came off and it was just silence! I was so scared, I wouldn't go back to sleep.
Share your experiences!

No but me've had lucid dreams

Idk if this is the same thing but sometimes when i wake up i can't open my eyes for a good 2 minutes

Girl sometimes I fear going to sleep because i don't want to experience that! me and my friends spoke of this today and both experienced it and it sounds horrific! they also said they felt or saw something coming for them as they were experiencing it but they couldn't move or scream for help

It happened to me all the time when I was a kid. It's started happening occasionally again, but I know how to get out of it now. Regardless it's still terrifying.

omg wait same here
but i think its just because i get crust in my eyes

I had it TERRIBLY a year or so ago. When I say terribly I mean every single night. And then it gradually stopped in a span of a couple months. Haven't had it it probably half a year thank God... scarriest thing ever

Yeah it's so scary! Some people even see shadows and hear voices but luckily for me I never have
You're so lucky you haven't experienced it, don't worry!! It's your mind playing struck a with you

Yes!! And does you can't move your body?
It's basically when you're in between reality and dreams so your brain hasn't quite connected with your body, so you're stuck in that HORRIBLE inbetween state. In the olden days they used to think it was spirits and demons
Some people call it 'the devil riding on your back'
Scary stuff!!

In the first dream, where my house is haunted or something, I looked into my bathroom mirror, which was when I realized I was dreaming. My reflection in the mirror was distorted, I appeared to be rapidly growing and bending and my eyes were dark red. I look at my hands and have like ten+ fingers on each hand. The bathroom was dark and tinted blue too. So anyways I walk into the lounge room and there's a witch casting fire spells at me. I try to fly away outside, but I could only fly really slow - making a slow getaway. The witch whips my back with lashes then I forced myself to wake up.

Second dream I realized I was dreaming and pretty much flew around some suburb in my city. This time I flew really fast, it was cool being in control of it. Third dream was kind of the same as that. Don't remember the rest.

idr the dream, but I woke up heavy breathing while my heart was pounding.. like someone was holding me underwater and finally let go

No, but the thought of it terrifies me.

yes I tried to scream but I couldn't then I started to sweat as I began feeling very afraid, so I forced myself to sleep, woke up and I was fine. Never happened again

This used to happen to me as a kid sometimes like wtf. I would YANK them open with my hands and my brother would be like "NOOO YOU GOTTA DO IT WITH WATER!!!"

Also: the first time is always the most horrifying. I remember thinking I was being possessed... couldn't sleep for the rest of the night and had trouble sleeping for like a week.

omg I'm legit going to mention you in my prayers tonight.
I know this sounds a little nuts lol but plz try saying a prayer before going to sleep. maybe it will convince your mind that you are safer and it won't happen to you or it will be less scary when it does happen, you know what I mean?

Wiggling your toes help if any of you suffer from it really badly

literally it got in my eyes and it would hurt to blink
