    I've had a wierd occurance while sleeping, maybe twice in my life. It's where I wake up but cant move a muscle, and everything is hazey like im not looking through my own eyes. Both times ive found myself screaming fro help, but I dont have any strenght so it ends up being a whisper.

    Its pretty scary just wondering if anyone else has ever had this.

    I have. I think it's called sleep paralysis, that moment between wakefulness and sleeping, where your mind is awake but your body hasn't quite caught up yet.
    It was several years ago; I was spending the night at my grandparents house. I was laying in bed and I couldn't move a muscle. I think I was still dreaming, because I thought I saw my grandparents in the doorway.
    I decided to try to pinch myself to try to make myself wake up (I didn't know what was happening at the time) but my arm wouldn't move. I was pretty scared, but I kept trying, and after what seemed like forever, with a lot of effort, I pushed my arm over and pinched me. Then I felt better.

    huh thats crazy. When I had it happen I just gave up and fell back asleep. I know that your body becomes paralyzed during sleep, its interesting, next time it happens im going to try and will myself non paralyzed lol, or wait for someone to walk by and whisper yell at them.

    Or try to leave your body. I bet that would be a good time to do it.

    I've only ever been able to do it right out of sleep.
    But that's because I'm not very good at meditating.
