Have you ever experienced Sleep Paralysis? What happened?

Hey guys!

So about 3 months ago, right before I moved into my new house, I had my first sleep paralysis experience!

I was living in a small 2 bedroom apartment with my parents, and we are now moved into a 3 bdrm duplex in a way nicer neighborhood (thank you papa!)

I remember going to bed, laying on my stomach with my right arm propping my head up. I think it was about 4am? When i woke up to fix my alarm or something, before going back to bed in the same position. Keep in mind I had actually went to bed BEFORE @2am. 

I went to fall back asleep, and layed there for maybe 10ish minutes? When I went to change positions, I couldn't move! It felt like something was sitting on my back as well, and it was hard to breathe.

I went to reach to flick on my light switch, and it was impossible. I felt trapped! 

But somehow I managed to turn my experience into a lucid dream! It was unreal :D

I dreamed that I managed to turn and flick the light switch, but the light didn't go on and I saw it was plugged in (no power outage) and I felt really light. I quickly screamed (in my dream) for my parents, and ran to their room. They weren't in there and I knew they were sleeping before I went to bed. 

I realized I was dreaming when I couldn't turn on any lights and the world felt so weird around me. I attempted to leave my apartment by flying through my roof(???). Surprisingly, it worked and I conjured an image of a U shaped earth, kinda like a donut but massive. The edges of my world curved upwards, and there were hundreds of massive sapphire blue office buildings with cracked glass and jungle vines that were as long as some of the buildings themselves, hanging out of them, but they were beautiful.

I dreamt that a train appeared, looking as broken down and rustic as the office buildings surrounding me were. I hopped onto the train, and it drove upwards on the curve of the planet, and I rode it for miles and miles on end. It stopped, and let me off at a run-down mansion looking place, sort of similar to this but it had a giant beautiful double staircase with a fountain between the two leading up to the doors:

Now the weirder parts:

So my absolute favorite disney princess is Belle, not even for Beast at all. I could relate to Belle very easily, as we share a lot in common. Haha, I've even went to see the Beauty and The Beast muscial/play when it came to my city back in grade 9, and 3 months after that I helped to make props and build a Beauty and The Beast musical for my school as well! What a coincidence, they didn't even plan it like that, nobody knew it had came to our city just previously.

Anyway, I've always looked up to Belle, and this mansion KIND OF had a BATB kind vibe to it, yenno? 

So I walk into the castle, and THE BEAST is there just chilling on the stairs, and he says "We have to find out what's wrong with the clock." So I said no I wanna just look around like chill out buddy guy. Anyway, I walk over to a window and then I'm inside of a giant ballroom with suspended broken furniture and glass all around me! I reached out, and grab a shard of glass, looking at my reflection my face is blurry and my eyes are white, as well as my hair (my hair and eyes are dark brown). 

The Beast is gone now, and I'm talking to Lumiere. He's floating beside me, and tells me sharply, "You need to jump in order to fly, or else you won't be able to see!"

So I listened to him, and jumped off the edge of the broken windows, which had been sloped downwards almost like this:

These are all thoughts I've been thinking and planning to write about my novel (I'm an aspiring author, but I'm pushing to be an EMT when I get older, and possibly enlist in the CAF). I think and write a lot of short stories. I also like to show and draw pictures for my stories elements.

So, to see a world I has previously made within my brain tripped me out. 

After I dropped off the edge of the "Window Cliff," I struggled to fly. I did it perfectly at first and enjoyed myself, but eventually it grew "heavier" upon my body and I ended up trying to jump off the ground in the end.

After I stopped moving, I was in the middle of a group of the same tall skyscraper-office buildings from before, and a massive dark green/black military airplane flew over me, before crashing into a building! 

After that, I woke up and bolted into my parents room, quietly, and tapped my mom on the head. (My dad wakes up at 5am for work everyday, so I knew I needed to not bother him and just talk to my momma. She's a lighter sleeper then he is). 

The Entire Conversation

"Hey mum."

"W-Wha? Hawooza? Wha-?"

"I just had a lucid dream."

"Mmmm. What?"

"Yeah I had one, it was kinda freaky."

"Oh, ok, sick. Goodbye now. Gnhhhh-"

- insert sleeping snores here -

I then went back to my room, flicked/tested my lamp (it worked), and went back to bed. 

 

Now, I want to hear YOUR sleep paralysis and lucid dream experiences or curiosities!

Keep in mind I have no idea how to answer your questions about lucid dreaming, I am no expert, but I'll post my second experience and more information about my sleeping and eating (and smoking) habits. But these dreams are really scaring me. I feel very scared when they happen. Today, I had another one when I went to bed at 8pm, and woke up @1am. I went to bed early because we are going boxing day shopping (At like, 11am, we're not crazy about it either).  I just really need my sleep and it takes me like 1.5 hours to get ready if I have the time to do so in the mornings. 

 

The Ominous Feeling I have Everywhere

After moving, and my first lucid dream even (I've had only 3 so far), I've had urges to double and even tripple check that all doors, lights, and windows even are locked and shut tight. I check behind doors before walking into rooms, and double check my closet before sleeping. I jump at sounds that my house makes (it makes a lot of dumb sounds bruh). I never used to act this way, but when I sleep something feels like it's watching me. Waiting, almost for me to fall asleep. And that's hard, because anything under 10~ hours of sleep is too little for me. I see a shadowy figure, lurking at the edge of my vision, and I feel something crawling beneath my bed, almost squirming around, but both of my dogs sleep with my parents. I don't ever dare to look underneath the bed.

And sometimes when I look at people, their faces shift and change to evil looking things, before going back to normal (only for a second though).

I'm worried that maybe I should see a doctor or something, I'm seeing, hearing, and feeling things that aren't actually happening? Or could it be possibly a demon or ghost influencing me to begin my novel FOR real perhaps? Or maybe it's just my subconcious retaining memories of my dreams and sleep paralysis experiences, COMBINED?

Who really knows.

But anyway, give me some feedback!

I wanna HEAR YOU!

Post your lucid dream and sleep paralysis experiences below! And any questions you may have about any experiences you've had. Someone may have an actual answer! (Hopefully) (???)

And help me out to NOT have sleep paralysis and bad thoughts PLEASE!

Edit: I'm okay, if I feel I am in immediate danger or in a bad situation, please know both my parents AND my 2 loving and protective dogs are in my house, and I'll be okay :D  This thread is not meant to scare anybody, but I am just interested if anybody has similar experiences they would like to share.

This thread sounds a bit scary. Are you sure you're ok? If sleep paralysis and strange visions during the day are numerous in your life, maybe you should think about a Magnetic Resonance. Our brain is a mistery, after all. I wish you can stay well.

I'm totally good, just wondering if anybody else has ever experienced SP before, and if anybody has tips on how to NOT have it because obviously it's scary for me :D
