Sleep event

Been a long time since I wrote here... typing is so much easier than writing it all down in detail with pencil. I was lying down on my bed in my room and got up and walked to my TV to take a good look at it and I noticed that things started appearing and disappearing on my screen (even though it was turned off). This was very weird, but I just brushed it off. Back in bed, I try to get up but cannot. Once again I am paralyzed and cannot move. So I try to get up with my eyes closed, and this actually works. I try to estimate where my desk and door handle are, and funny enough I touch my desk with my hand and then without fail I open my door. I get teleported to a supermarket now where I see a girl I used to hang out with, she was probaly there because I have something in mind I want to ask her. We talk for a bit and just as she disappears I remember what I have to ask her. I shout out to her but she is gone. I wake up again, or so I thought. Once again I am back in bed now, still paralyzed. It is incredibly hard to move, I try to gather enough willpower but it just is not working. I manage to roll out of bed and start crawling to my window, eventually I manage to open it. Now this is a window that is slanted on the wall, which is actually the roof of my house. I open it and try to get out, but it is too narrow. In real life I sometimes go through this window to sit on my roof and smoke a cigarette, this time not. I fall out and wake up again. Not. For the last time I wake up paralyzed in bed. Something appears to be happening at my door, at first I thought it was my father but suddenly my door opens and some sort of shadow entity is standing there. Being paralyzed and seeing this creature I get freaked out and make a 'meep' sound, but suddenly I go crazy and just start laughing at him in the face like a maniac. He disappears and the dream is over for good now. A weird experience, even though it has happened numerous times before and it is actually just really frustrating afterwards. I was semi-lucid throughout this entire dream, I knew something was not right since I saw shit happening on the TV. I do remember rubbing my hands like crazy at some point, it helped a bit... but not nearly enough to get me out of my paralyzation. It is not really paralyzation either... it is like the gravity is tenfold of that on earth. I can feel I am making progress though, and I have learned some tricks from this dream. That expectation matters a lot. I expected I would find my desk and door handle with my hands even though my eyes were closed, and I did. I also remember a very small fragment of having sex with someone, I woke up with morning wood which was terrible since I am on the no-fap challenge. And it is after that, that this dream occured. I overcame the need by falling asleep. Now I am going to grab a bite and smoke a cig. Peace out.

I was laying in bed and I could not fall asleep. Then finally I got relaxed and I felt I guess what is known as the roll over signal. I decided to roll over and see if I would enter SP fast.

Has this happened to you?

Write it down while you still remember the details. We will look for the others.

Tell us what you saw

Know someone this happened to?

If this reminds you of something a friend or a relative told you once and never mentioned again, send them this page. Reading that a stranger described the same thing is usually the part that helps.
