You're not me and no I'm not. Shut the fuck up faggot.

I will describe my experiences in more detail. I want to see if this is normal.

1st one
>wake up hearing voices yelling at each other
>think I left the tv on but eventually I realize the tv is off
>voices stop
>see a dark shadow standing in front of me
>I think it's trying to hand me my phone for some reason
>snap out of it and realize there is nothing there
>go back to sleep

2nd one. This one isn't even scary in an objective sense. Is it normal to have completely benign sleep paralysis hallicinations?

>wake up
>can't move but don't want to anyway
>feel a presence behind me watching me lie there
>I can sense that it is my cat
>almost feel like I can see him at the edge of the bed looking up at me

When I come out of it I realize he couldn't have been in the room because my door was closed.

3rd one. This one is probably the "scariest" but like I said I felt no fear and was completely indifferent when it was happening.

>lying in bed
>see a man standing above me
>feel hands around my throat
>he is trying to strangle me
>sleep paralysis ends and I realize it's my own hands on my throat

What are you trying to tell me

I've had sleep paralysis my whole life and I rarely ever saw anything that wasn't scary so consider yourself lucky.

I've heard a girl screaming in pain and the sound of her burning in fire.
I've seen the figure of a black dog sitting in my door frame and then it walked behind me and sat by my head.
I've been on my couch in the day time and couldn't move and saw something that looked like my mom peeking from the hallway and put her finger up to her mouth to signify a "shhh" and smiled so fucking creepy and I got out of it.

Most of the time I try to go back to sleep and the paralysis keeps happening over and over again. It keeps me up all night.
What does that even mean?

>I rarely ever saw anything that wasn't scary

Well these two could be seen as scary >>18428463
>>18428487
But I wasn't scared at the time for some reason.

Is it strange to not feel any fear when it's happening? What could that mean? Is there something wrong with me?

Have you had any benign ones like the one I had with the cat?

>my mom peeking from the hallway and put her finger up to her mouth to signify a "shhh" and smiled so fucking creepy

That does sound creepy though anon.

>Most of the time I try to go back to sleep and the paralysis keeps happening over and over again. It keeps me up all night.

That's another interesting point. For me, it never kept me awake. I always just shrugged it off and went right back to sleep.

Is there something wrong with me to be so detached and apathetic to these things

I'm not sure exactly what it means but the ones that aren't scary for me feel more peaceful.

I think it's normal to have paralysis and not feel fear, but I used to think that because of the calmness it might be caused by someone that may have passed in your life trying to enter your space.

If that's true then you've never had a nightmare. It's not wether or not the dream is scary it's wether or not you yourself are afraid. Normal people can have nightmares about fluffy bunnies and dogs when they've never been even remotely scared by them.

Yeah, it is kinda normal. Usually the fear comes after you've realized that you can't move, and your brain starts to make up things, maybe because you can't see anything or maybe because you just woke up. So yeah, nothing to worry about

>>18428505
Relatively normal. Most people respond to being paralyzed with panic, I think this is what turns sleep paralysis and its hallucinations a nightmarish experience. I've had perfectly benign sleep paralysis and I've had scary experiences with it. If i get scared i just hold my breath until i wake up.

>>18428580
Could be you're either restless or too tired. If I'm too tired, i dream very vividly and it keeps me from getting any rest.

So when the sleep paralysis kicks in have you ever thought of trying to roll out of your body or leave it? Relaxing the entire body to a state of "sleep paralysis" is one of the first steps in achieving an out of body experience or astral traveling.

I think sleep paralysis is just people who experience the "mind awake body asleep" state. There are many bodies that each person carries with them than just the physical one. Fear sets in as they don't understand what is happening and I guess it could manifest some weird shit in whatever plane their awareness is in during that time.
