Had a strange experience last night, I was
sleeping and kind of semi- conscious. As
I was dreaming I experienced a weird
sensation like my body was being drained,
almost the life was being sucked out of
me. I awoke pretty soon after feeling
strange (tingling all over and my ears
buzzing) and I was shaking a little.

Perhaps it was sleep paralysis?
This is when the brain wakes up before the
rest of the body does. People who often
suffer from this feel as though somone
else is in the room withthem that is
harrassing them, i.E sitting on their
chests and forcing air out of them or
perhaps been 'drained' of life?
Does this sound familiar? If so, it could
be sleep paralysis.

Yeah I do suffer from sleep paralysis and
know all about it. But if thats what it
was, it felt different this time, very
strange, kinda hard to explain, no
pressure on the chest just a feeling as if
something was flowing out of my hands and
feet! Sounds strange and crazy I know
lol, really weird and quite frightening!.

Did it feel how it does when your leg
falls asleep? Iv'e had that a few
times...I've never felt "drained" though.
P.S.-ive got sleep paralysis too, I think.
Any more tips?
Sweet dreams

Hello Posted: 10-30-05 00:25am
It was most likely a combination of a
dream mixed with the odd sensations ya
don't normally feel cause you're
unconscious when they can occur. I had a
dream once where I imagined my ghost
leaving my body and looking down on it. I
got an odd feeling like I was being sucked
out from head to toe. Ever since then
i've been able to reacreate the sensation
on demand. It feels kindof ticklish and
euphoric. Like when you are driving and
you hit a dip in the road. Well, kindof
like that :p maybe I figured out how to
control a part of my autonomic nervous
system. Also, a few days ago I woke up
and one of my eyes was flickering like a
tv set from dark to light to dark to light
etc. Not the eyelid but my vision
brightness. It was really fast too.
Maybe ten frames per second of the
brightness changing in my room, but just
in my right eye. Really unusual to me.
Oh and I don't do drugs of any kind ever.
I've never been drunk, never smoked
cigarrettes and so on. 21 years old and
in great shape and I eat well.

Sleep paralysis should occur in everyone
during rem (heavy dreaming period) sleep.
I couldn't tell if any of you knew that.
If you're talking about sleep paralysis
being a problem when it occurs when you're
still awake and you can't move for a few
minutes then it isn't normal but it is
naturally occuring during our dream state
though.
