Really Tired, So Pleased I Saw This Site And I'm Not Alone
by Laura
(England)
I remember a lot of them and sometimes during the day find it hard to remember if certain things that happen have been dreams or really happened. Some of them are so graphic and brutal
I can't believe that I even think those things up. I have suffered from this problem in the past over short periods of time but this time it just seems to be never ending!
I also realise now after reading others posts that I have been suffering from sleep paralysis. I thought I might have been suffering from some kind of fit. I know that I am awake every time it happens. I try my hardest to move or scream but nothing happens.. I had a sleep at my parents house the other day and had a episode, I wanted to get up but I couldn't move. My mam had came into the room and I knew she was standing over me so I was trying to make a noise so she would wake me.
Later when I did wake up I asked her if she could hear, she said it was like a snoring kind of noise I was making but she didn't want to wake me as she knows I've been having problems with my sleep. I told her I was trying to get her attention but she didn't really understand, Laura
Kevin: Hey Laura, thanks so much for sharing your experiences with us. I think you would really benefit from reading this book by Ryan Hurd. It has some amazing insights about controlling your sleep paralysis episodes and nightmares. I would also recommend you read about lucid dreaming if you aren't already familiar with it. There is extraordinary potential in it to control your nightmares and turn them into enlightening experiences. World-Of-Lucid-Dreaming.com has some more great material on this. And in fact, Ryan Hurd's book even contains insights and techniques into how to use episodes of sleep paralysis to enter lucid dreams.
I hope some of this material is helpful. Feel free to let me know what you think :)
Kevin

A Note On Visitor-Submitted Questions:
Publishing sleep stories and questions from our visitors is meant to create a forum for open and proactive dialogue about an extremely important portion of our lives (one that occupies 1/3 of it and affects the other 2/3). It is not meant to substitute a trip to the doctor or the advice of a specialist. It's good to talk; it is not good to avoid consulting someone who's profession it is to help you with this kind of stuff.
If you are in any way concerned about your sleep health, don't wait for an answer on here, and don't necessarily rely on them. See a sleep specialist in your area as soon as possible.
