helpless moment.

ever have this feeling where you wake up in the middle of the night and you cant move? yes this happen to me last night!!! (2nd time in my life) i woke up in the middle of the night, saw my room door half-open cause i didnt close it before i sleep, wanted to close it, and the next thing i know, i couldnt move. all i could do was to move my eyes. and during that period, i got eerie imagination that what if someone walks into my room or i see shadow moving. it was scary. the next thing i tried was to close my eye and try to jump out of bed all of a sudden, but failed. i panicked and the only thing i could do was to close my eye, go back to sleep. and i felt so HELPLESS at the moment.

i tried googling for the medical term for this and see what i have found.

Sleep paralysis happens when you wake up from sleeping and are fully conscious but you cannot move your body. As you know, during sleep, while you are dreaming, your body is paralyzed so that you don’t inadvertently act out your dreams. Apparently during a sleep paralysis episode, that “sleep chemical” doesn’t wear off right away, leaving you in a state where you are aware but cannot move.

During this period you may experience frightening hallucinations. Auditory or visual disturbances are common. Sometimes you may feel a presence or someone sitting on your bed. Because you can’t move it can be very frightening. Sleep paralysis will wear off in a few minutes, but when you believe you’re under attack by a demon or alien even a few minutes is a long time.

However, sleep paralysis is the perfect time to try astral projection. While your body is anchored and unmoving it’s relatively easy to separate your astral body from the physical body. In fact, it’s an ideal situation. During astral projection you want your spirit or soul to get up out of bed while your physical body stays put. This isn’t easy. But sleep paralysis affords you the perfect opportunity.


astral projection ?!!?!? i never knew human could do that!! i am so gonna try it the next time if this happens to me again!!!
