What Sleep Paralysis Feels Like

Sleep Paralysis is when you wake up paralyzed, unable to move or escape. It can happen to anyone, and if you don't know what to do it can be a very scary experience. This video will show you exactly what Sleep Paralysis feels like!

Every night, your body paralyzes itself to prevent you from acting out your dreams. However, there is a chance that in the morning, you will wake up paralyzed, stuck in between the dream world and reality. I hope this video can give you an idea of what sleep paralysis feels like, so you will be more prepared in case it happens to you.

Many people are afraid of the things that happen during sleep paralysis, but with the right steps, you can turn it into a vivid lucid dream. Lucid dreaming is when you realize that you're dreaming, and you can control it and do anything you want. On my channel I have several tutorials on how to lucid dream, so if you are new, check them out!

Lucid dreaming can increase your chances of sleep paralysis, but there is a simple trick you can use to escape sleep paralysis right away and turn it into a lucid dream. It's REALLY important to know this trick in case it happens to you, or you will stay in sleep paralysis and even worse things might happen. I've linked a video near the top which explains the steps to doing this... go watch it!

my paralysis demon doesn’t scare me because he comes from my closet and is shaped like a turtle and it makes me laugh

Tip for some people out there, some sleep paralysis can be completely auditory too! Some examples of this can be continuous loud ear piercing static or high frequency noises, like your ears are picking up every little sound in the room. At the same time, you feel the impending doom or overstimulated terror.
I’ve had nights where I’ve convulsed trying to wake myself up from these sounds and visions only to wake up inside my dream. Things would only escalate. Make sure you aren’t sleeping too hot or too cold as well because it heightens panic. 👍

I like how everyone is making jokes but I’m god damn terrified of sleep paralysis

[oliviaedwards]

Only last night I went through sleep paralysis, and I had actually watched loads of videos about it before I went to sleep, (one of my friends had told me about their experience, so I was interested). Everything was normal, my room around me, and I was lying in bed. I couldn't move, though, and I just thought I was awake but felt too lazy to get up. Then, I knew that I was experiencing sleep paralysis. I wasn't too scared, because nothing was happening yet - although I sort of knew that something was about to happen. I have a pile of blankets in the far corner of my room, but then I saw something lurking beside it. I instantly felt my heart beat faster, my palms going sweaty, things that happen when you get really scared. Suddenly, the figure lurking beside my blanket moved, but in a strange position. They were kind of crawling, like a child does when they are too young to walk. Unluckily, my feet weren't under my duvet, and it climbed over them. It sat beside me for a while, and it was really scary - the figure was completely black and had red eyes. Then I woke up.

Sleep paralysis in a nutshell: *”I tried to scream. But my head was underwater”*

I've had sleep paralysis a few months ago and it was extremely terrifying. Aside from being unable to move I felt like I was hearing a bunch of zombies outside my room.

My sleep paralysis is different, instead of demons, my parents are the ones who come into the room. And sometimes I wake up not able to move or speak and my parents call out to me and when I don't answer they get mad and run into my room and scream in my ear.

This is one of the reasons why I dove deep into my spiritual journey, and became a light warrior. No YouTube video knowledge at the time. Thank you for sharing this dream self defense and the lucid leap tips. Everything you said resonates.
