My life has been kinda crazy. I've had weird stuff happen, I've had miracles occur when I was sure we were alone in the world, and I've been scared for my life from things unseen.

In particular, I'd like to give an example:

For the past few years, I've been woken up from a deep sleep, incapable of moving. A huge pressure was on my hips and chest, and I couldn't even make noises. And then, just as suddenly as it started, it was over. it happened at least 3 times that i can remember vividly. I've been to the doctor, and they gave me no explanation for these "episodes". I'm keeping an open mind, and people have given me their interpretations, ranging from medical reasons to Incubus contact.

I'm here to ask for, not only your thoughts on these things, but also to ask what your strange occurrences are.

Uh...that sounds almost like a heart attack to my non-trained ears.
...
But if the doctor didn't think it was one, they wouldn't have missed something THAT obvious. I'm afraid I somewhat lack strange occurrences of that sort though.

O.o Doctors gave you a reason that was Incubus contact? ._. Okay, that doctor is crazy. >.> No, I don't mean that believing in an Incubus as being real is crazy. (I'm not sure of them though. razz ) That's just something unprofessional. (or did I read it wrong and it wasn't the doctors?)

It might have been Sleep Paralysis. I think Nessy is most likely wrong on the heart attack thing. What sort of tips me off to this is the waking from deep sleep AND the inability to move. If I remember right, it's really not something to worry about too much.

As for my own weird happenings, I have the magical ability to wake up, completely awake, before something happens. Like, I woke up and was wide awake, with light from the kitchen shining in my door. The whole house goes dark and I have to report a power outage. A similar thing to when I woke up before the house got struck by lightning.

I also woke up and (I've posted the story elsewhere and will probably give it its own thread at some point...) I was wide awake. It was like midnight. I look to my left, which is the rest of the room because my bed is in the corner...and I see a lady dressed in black standing rather close to my bed. There's a viscous red-brown liquid dripping from the fingers of her right hand, which is slightly extended towards me. She was lit from below and from the front... Then she disappeared and I was scared shitless. ^^; (I HAD to say it...it's the strongest reaction I can give and it doesn't match how scared I was.)

My lamp light was blown out and the LED lights in a crystal stand were burned too...only leaving red and orange lights left. The bulb in the lamp was new... Also, she wasn't like a shadow of something or anything like that, she was against a solid white door...with a lamp behind HER. My room was empty of shadow producing things. *has everything against the walls*

The end...I've rambled enough now. ^^;

No no! Doctors told me they didn't find anything. OTHER people I knew told me it could be an Incubus. I'm wondering if it could be the Sleep Paralysis, but wouldn't doctors catch it? I dunno, I'm no doctor myself. o-o

Thats really interesting, to wake up before things happen. I Live in Los Angeles, and in 1994 we had an earthquake that was really big and destroyed a lot. My parents woke up during it, my sister who was a baby at the time woke up, but I slept through it. Kinda wish I hadn't.

Okay, so nevermind then. Just me reading it funny. ^^; Was a weird hour for me. ^^;

As for sleep paralysis... I'm not entirely sure they'd be able to catch it without doing a rather long sleep study, since it has to do with REM sleep and all. Just observing you during a visit, no matter how routine, wouldn't really yield that, I think. Unless it's got something to do with chemical imbalances. (which, I didn't exactly read too far into it, so it might...)

._. Earthquakes. ;-; It's kinda crazy that you could sleep through it. I'd be so freaked out. And yet, tornadoes don't really scare me...*shrugs* *huggles* I'm glad you guys made it through, though. *luffle* <3

That happens to my mom, too, at times. I don't know if she feels the heavy weight, but its thought that she might actually have a mild form of narcolepsy. There are times that she'll sit down and as soon as she's hits the chair she'll instantly fall asleep or into a sleep-paralysis similar to what you described. She also hits the weird paralysis stage when she wakes up, like you, not all the time, but often enough that she doesn't get as freaked out when it happens.

When she's unable to move, she's completely aware of her surroundings and can feel everything, sometimes she even has her eyes open and can see but can't move her eyes either. She can almost never break out of that state on her own though, she usually has to be touched. Sometimes she'll be laying on the couch staring a hole into me and my dad until we figure out she's "stuck" and have to go shake her.

Must be scary for her, you know? o.o She hasn't done it recently. Anyway, I'm actually not sure if doctors can detect sleep paralysis or if its even a chronic medical condition, or perhaps just a weird anomaly; like the brain firing the wrong signals or something.

wow i had that happen to me for like a year but even though im turn 14 i still have strange things happen to me
i was born feb 25 1996 at 6:46 in the morning. im lungs were filled with water and i couldnt breath. they told my parents they couldnt save me. then a couple also had a child with probs. its heart had failed. the doctors said that one couple could give up their childs life for the other and the one couple choose me to live. we dont kno why.
but the biggest thing is that the woman was named Sheila and as was my grandmother who had died on her birthday (which was feb. 25) 3 yrs. b4 i was born. my parents named me after her and they say i look just like her and i sing like her and i have the same hobbies she did. they even say that i have her gift but i didnt believe them til it happened to me
i could see spirits clear as day and i just kno when ppl in my family are goin to die. ( i hate this "gift")
