Last night I was up late, I didn't get to bed until about 1 in the morning. I was lying in bed and thinking to myself a lot about life and I heard an unfamiliar voice in my head but dismissed it to being so tired and thinking so much. This voice as I recall, came along with a fluttering noise and seemed to be copying everything I was thinking.
After a few more minutes, about 1:15, I started to dose off. I had my eyes closed and saw an image of a bald evil looking monk in a brown robe, and it startled me awake, this was about 1:45. I knew I was completely awake but couldn't move at all. It seemed like the entire room was filled with a loud hum or rumble, my ears were ringing, and I heard something that sounded like some "thing" screeching, it was pitch black and my entire body got extremely hot.
I tried with all my might to move my hand to my necklace of the Saint Mary, and when I finally reached it, I started reciting the lord's prayer over and over in my head, and after a few minutes the noise went away and I felt the pressure release from my body. I sat up and my entire body was tingling. I got up immediately and went to my mom's room because I was so freaked out.
I was sleeping in my parents' room and it was about an hour and a half later, I once again woke up startled, and I know I was wide awake but once again, I could not move. I thought "Why are you doing this to me? STOP!" and after a few seconds, the sound went away and I could move, but once again felt the tingle all over my body. I tried to go back to sleep but every time I was just about to dose off and my eyes would close, I saw a flash of a scary image that would startle me awake, and I didn't get any sleep after that.
I'm kind of afraid to see how tonight goes, hopefully it is better and I can sleep undisturbed, I will be back and comment on how it goes. Thanks for your interest. Sleep Well. Just for reference, my sleepless night was early morning September 19th.
Ive had it several times... I was half asleep, when for some reason, I was startled awake, and I just could not move. My eyes would open half way and I just found myself staring at the wall. The worst part, was I heard this buzzing sound, more like the sound of a thousand birds flapping their wings around me, and I swear I heard something move behind me which scared me so badly... Then I heard this high pitched scream type sound...
Then I fell asleep instantly for some reason.
Ive taken many psychology courses so I knew exactly what was going on, but it was still terrifying.
Your brain wakes up before your body, so your conscious but have no physical control, so your mind instantly goes into the flight or fight mode, telling you BE AFRAID somethings wrong! So we react accordingly, but really there's nothing to be afraid of.
