This happens to me about once a year or so and it is very very scary. Now that I know what it is, it makes waking out of it a little easier but it's still scary going through it.
I've not be on the board for a bit and I'm sorry if this has already been posted (I have ton's on catching up to do ). I think this is what you are discussing:
Sleep paralysis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thanks for posting that Mare10. I just got caught up and see there's quite a few of us.
I've had sleep paralysis before and I agree it is very scary, especially the first time it happens.
It's been years since I've had a spell but there was a period for a few months a long time ago when it happened once avery couple of weeks...
The first time it happened, I KNEW I was awake and I COULD NOT move, not even to open my eyes...I thought for a second I had died until I heard someone in the next room on the phone.
When it happened...I would wake up, unable to move, joints began to tingle, suddenly could move...this happened over about 45-60 seconds for me.
