I suffer sleep paralysis regularly. It is the scariest thing I have ever experienced. I am 100% sure that people who think they have been possessed by a demon have in fact had sleep paralysis. It does feel like being possessed by something and is so vivid. I have seen people behind the curtains in my room, been strangled (to the point where I have woken up choking) been pinned down, covers pulled off, hallucinated......I could write a horror book about the experiences. And its so strange because you are semi awake at the time and seeing everything "real time" as it were in the room you are in. It's not like a nightmare where your surroundings can be anywhere you are literally in your room in your bed and looking at it all but with all these other things going on around you. You try to scream and move but can't it is horrible. When I was with my ex and it happened I could be looking right at him in the bed next to me and trying to grab him and feel like I am screaming at him to help. He told me what it was like seeing me and that I was mumbling but not managing to actually say anything...he found it hilarious....I did not.....:ROFLMAO: It's funny because I now have actually learned a lot about it when it happens - and this is going to sound strange- I know that it is happening and the "awake" part of my brain knows it isn't real. I actually talk to myself in my head saying "it isn't real wake up, wake up" until I eventually do. It is the reason the dogs slept in the bed with me when I was single. Happens a lot less when they are there and has never happened when Mr CG has been there....I'm sure he would find it hilarious too!

I’ve often subconsciously woke myself up from a dream, in order to escape. Sometimes it can seem a real struggle to drag myself out of a nightmare.

Woke up screaming at 4am. Was dreaming I was having teeth removed under general anaesthetic and had woken up while they were cutting them out.

Sigh.

Sorry to hear you aren't sleeping well (n) they sometimes say that if you dream of being in pain, sometimes you actually are feeling pain. I listen to meditation music on my phone when asleep now. I just pop it on and put my phone under my pillow, tends to lull me to sleep :) low volume ofc. It may also help to write down your worries in a diary or book, to get them off your mind. That can usually help, if you can't talk to anyone about stuff :) hope it's gets better soon(y)

Been having some really really vivid dreams recently. If I could control them and enter them voluntarily like some kind of alternate reality it wouldn't be half bad. I'm convinced it's from paint fumes.

Sorry to hear that m8. Paint fumes can indeed mess with the brain and such. Do you wear a respirator around them? Mum had to do that, instead of a normal mask, as it sent her into depression. TC yaself lad :)

No its only household emulsion so I dont wear a mask. Needed one for sanding the walls the other day though the plaster dust was hideous.

Maybe there's a lot on your mind and your brain is trying to provide some sort of distraction as you've not been able to process the days events.
I keep a notebook by the side of my bed and if I'm worried about things, however daft or mundane I write down them down in a list. You'd be amazed how much better you sleep when you can truly relax as you know you won't forget to do the things on your list.
Also, if you look back on them you'll realise how insignificant some of them were and how illogical it was that they created so much anxiety.
I think stress is compounding and it can be difficult to look at your own life objectively.
