Haven't had an episode in a while. Without fail, when I am reminded of this fact, I have one within the week. Thanks @OP
Snooj
Dang, there are an awful lot of you with sleep paralysis. I just have sleep inertia. Don't like getting up. Like sleep.
HeraldOfTheBadger
The bottom left panel is definitely doing surprised Pikachu
BorkLocutus
Combined with apnoea it can be lethal. Rest in Peace, David, my dear friend.
zanzaboonda
If he's a paralysis demon, like what does he think his job is?
KarmaDemon
I would want mine to be female and a lot of people believe it was a witches doing anyways
Mordy9
this should help me with my nightmares
islandhungry
Never been able to open my eyes. I figured out how wake up from it just remember your dreaming and start thinking about your buddy’s hot mom
Parrotname28
you misspelt @op's mom
Shismouche
Until the day he breaks your spine to have more time to chill with you
mikearmament
Make friends with your demos

Twinsy
You will see your room and hear your room but it’ll be overlayed by your rem cycle.
Twinsy
So basically you’ll hallucinate visually as well as auditory, it’s a trip
PissBlitz
If you wanna get an idea of the shit you can see while having sleep paralysis, google "sleep paralysis illustration" now mix those images
PissBlitz
With crippling fear and helplessness
bendaresall
The second to the last panel reminds me of a Hellboy panel
Odyssey9
The last time I ever got a night terror I decided it pissed me off so much I swung my fist into the mattress and roared. Never happen again.
3xacerbator
That's been my reaction. Like the wordless emotional equivalent of MOTHERFUCKER I'LL KILL YOU
Odyssey9
Yeah. If there's a monster and I'm scared then the monster wins twice. If there's a monster and I'm pissed off worst case we both lose.
Varenvel
its one of worst things , it happened to me only twice in life and still its one of "worst" feelings i ever had. 1/2
Varenvel
and yes i seen demon once and "indescribable monster who was behind me and i could not turn/move to see him" 2/3
Varenvel
the first monster was just plant who streetlight was making looking vaguely like big t-rex
Auronaku
Only had it once. Was more awkward than anything. Never opened my eyes but I heard a voice that sounded like Repulsa. Forgot what she said.
lancell
I regularly hear things in paralysis and lucid dreams (maybe up to 600 times now?) But I NEVER remember what I hear, only the context of it.
Bacxaber

TGWolf
Never had it. Cause that requires sleeping. And who needs that eh? Amirite? Hahahahaha... heh.. *cries*
teddybearfish
The first time I had sleep paralysis, I literally thought I was gonna die. An existential dread is all I felt.
teddybearfish
I contemplated life the entire next day scared to go back to sleep.
Ac1dBurn72
I normally try to scream during mine. Never works. It's fucking terrifying.
fartalert
Wiggle your toes
TheBelovedFloatingCatKhoshekh
Screaming silently for an extended amount of time as mine gets worse and worse is the only way I can’t get out of an episode. 1/2
TheBelovedFloatingCatKhoshekh
When I wake I’m full blown screaming and it wakes up my husband who takes care of a trembling 23 yo I feel like a damn child most times 2/2
Ac1dBurn72
Yeah. I'm a big large scary man. And I normally cry and need to be held. Woke up my SO a few times screaming. No fun.
islandhungry
Never been able to open my eyes. I figured out how wake up from it just remember your dreaming and start thinking about your buddy’s hot mom

Beware the accidental double post
CosmicTeapot
As a sleep paralysis sufferer... fuck this
YeahBu0y
Ichigo is that you?
claykie
I used to do this a lot as a kid. I would panic but be unable to do anything except wiggle my toes, which i did for what seemed like forever
Jarrev
It happens so frequently I can gargle or growl, and my wife knows that if she hears me doing those things; she shakes me awake.
TheTrueDovahSpy
And now I can't sleep at 1:30 A.M. on a school night because I'm thinking about the time I had sleep paralysis. Great.
TheTrueDovahSpy
Update: Turns out I didn't actually have class today, so that's fun.
OtterlyAmazed
I've seen this one in the corner of my room. Except he was blue for me
ThatRandomCanadian
Da ba dee da ba die?
rexmundi381931415
My 32 yr oldbest friend belives in paranormal shit because he had sleep paralysis once when he was about 18. He is convinced he felt it on
rexmundi381931415
Him. He says it jumped off of him into the corner of his room when his dad opened the door. He doesnt "believe" in sleep paralysis.

do demons have dicks?

Depends on the type
bigdog838
you mean if they are a female or male demon?

Nah there's different types of demons. For example an incubus is a Male demon who feeds off the energy of a person though sex

Revegna
I have never told anyone about this and I feel odd that I am doing it now. My experience with sleep paralysis seems very different from 1
Revegna
What everyone else is talking about. When I was young it was similar to what everyone else is saying but at about 13-14 I woke up and was 2
Revegna
Paralyzed as was the norm and I saw a fuzzy looking glowing ball of spikes, think dandelion or golden sea urchin right in my face not 3
Revegna
Taunting me but after so many weird things is almost seemed cute. I don't know why but it really pissed me off being woken up and 4
Revegna
The rage that this little shit was bothering me allowed me to wrench my shoulder up and take a swing at it. It bobbed out of reach 5
Revegna
And disappeared. In the 20ish years since then I have not experienced another episode of sleep paralysis. Other thing was even the 6
noctisumbra0
I've never opened my eyes during instances of sleep paralysis.
AdvanceWarsSami
I sleep with a blanket over my head due to childhood episodes of sleep paralysis
1UP2
I have and he's always behind me stabbing a knife i my spine.
RackhamTheRed
Ohhh! That's the reason. Thanks for the heads up! Next time we're gonna cut off your eyelids

mcsmith1003
(2)A lot less ominous than when it happened at night that one time.
ImmortalTimothy
I could not even see the thing that was "threatening" me. I just knew it was beyond my door waiting for me to close my eyes.
playstation360
Shoot, SCP-303 got out again.
InAMellowTone
Always scary to see the shadow man standing over you
KoljaV
It happened exactly once to me. I saw a sommersaulting rabbit for a few moments, but that was actually kinda fun.
Sasuuni
So either you just dont see the creatures behind you, or probably worse, one night they're in the few inches between you and the wall. ffuuu
obsydyinn
I did. I ended up trying to scream cause a hat on a wardrobe looked like a menace figure looming over me ready to kill.
cecilryegate
Almost without fail there is a shadowy large canine that is stalking me, just at the edge of my vision.
Spadesghost
Wanna know whats worse? Having a friend who can sleep with his eyes open. It is the freakiest thing in the world
NintendoSupport
My wife does this
retiredgumball
Mine are always open, but I’ve only hallucinated once, no demons but basically a re-enactment of the bugs from the mummy
gatharen
Opened my eyes both times it happened to me but I never got any visual hallucinations, only auditory.
TheJewsHas
this^
meccalopolis
I'm too busy trying to breathe.
YoloSwagginsAndTheKnightsOfTheRoundTable
I cant open my eyes. I'm trying so hard just to move my arms. End up doing this weird trembling thing until I break free or my gf wakes me
HsuDoNihm
It's far easier to just kinda see through your eyelids. It's not real, cuz you're paralyzed, but you dream your surroundings pretty clearly.
Shismouche
You actually see even when they are closed
bubbleobill
Your brain will lie to you , you will see shit thats not there
maninthedarkness
Woke up to seeing a dark silhouette of someone standing over me. Couldn't move, and barely able to breathe because of the sheer terror I >
maninthedarkness
> was experiencing. When my mind finally caught up and I could discern the figure I was seeing was just clothes I had hanging next to my >
maninthedarkness
> bed, was when I was able to breathe again, and then not long after that I was able to move.
moshthun
I have been able to, it's scary at first, but then I realise it's sleep paralysis and what I see will be a blend of reality and 1/2
moshthun
my imagination. Then I do either of two things, strain my body until I am able to move, or close eyes, and go lucid dreaming. 2/2
HughLaurie
Really? My first reaction is always to shake my head back and forth until my body finally wakes up.
4noku
Show off.
PoopholeAintALoophole
All the time... Typically my eyes are open. With great effort I hoarsely call out my wife's name until she hers me and knows what to do. 1/2
PoopholeAintALoophole
Nudge me out of it. It's normal now. 2/2
ilovedavidbowie
I have to change my breathing/fast breaths. SO hears and wakes me up. Often hear loud sounds (cutlery drawers rattling like a break-in).
MrCapps
I feel like I remember my eyes being open and looking around the room. But it's always been like trying to remember a dream.
ir1126
I once hallucinated my door slowly opened and a dark spiralling vortex was there, arm-like shadows swirled out and tried to pull me in
pareidoliaperson
Look if you want to know about your deepest fears!
whiskeywonka
Its not easy to do
DinoSuarez
Lucid dreaming + sleep paralysis = I know exactly what's happening so why did I open my eyes aaaaaaaa
RedBeardedTrucker
I used to lucid dream with ease, but as I get older, I can't seem to do it anymore. When I have sleep paralysis, I never see hallucinations
lancell
I can do it with ease, I can even open my mouth, but not make any sound.
whiskeywonka
Nice. Now we just need that in drug form....
chrisisnothappy
I’ve had sleep paralysis for a good 4 years. At first i was scared shitless, but now i just feel hopless whenever i see the shadows
ProfessorPritt
It happened to me once I strained so hard to get up that I shat myself and violently threw myself out of bed and bloody nose.
MegatronPewPew
I do. It’s fucked up. Your brain fills in gaps of data with light (even in the dark), shapes, aliens, weird shit. Used to it now.
ThePizzaGuyOfJustice
Is sleep paralysis a common thing? I don't think I've ever experienced it.
lancell
I have, sometimes I've seen the lucid dream when opening my eyes. Luckily I've never seen any hallucinations in my room.
mcsmith1003
I usually sleep around 5 or 6 am so light us pouring into my room and it's a lot less ominous than when it happened at night that one time.
tetrawike
Your mind starts playing tricks on you, feels weird, like sleep but awake and eyes open.
Leeuwerik
I actually saw both the real world and my vivid chaotic loud dream at the same time. Even after I woke up and went downstairs. Terrifying.
Leeuwerik
Lasted a good 5 minutes after actually getting up. I could still hear the echos of the shouting in my dream. So weird.
Teganrose1
I never hallucinated during sleep paralysis, just struggled to breathe.
EponaDraws
I always see a giant spider.
insongwhang
What is it like? I have no idea
VanBrewton
Fear. Only thing in life I've found to be afraid of are needles. This, this was so much worse. I was truly terrified of something with me.
SpruceCaboose
Different for everyone. I usually feel the sensation of something running about on me, like a small dog or something.
retiredgumball
Essentially you just lay there unable to move. You feel, but everything is kinda numb. It takes a lot of effort to move and wake up from it
Ronjalfa
1/2It's not that bad if you keep your eyes shut. Try to wiggle your fingers or toes to wake yourself up. Of course at first you can't
ImperatorFurious
That is exactly how i snap out of it, move the toes, then the foot and when i get to the leg it wakes me up.
Ronjalfa
2/2 move them because you're paralyzed. But when you gain control it means that you're awake --> The scary thing is over.
ilovedavidbowie
This! I wiggle toes and change breathing so my SO shakes me awake. Once I chose to wait it out to see what happens. Just woke up slower?
SoPoSassquatch
Terrifying if you've experienced it until you know what it is... you wake up fully paralyzed but still half dreaming.
insongwhang
Can you make a post about it? The good, the bad and the absolutely horrifying?
TheTrueDovahSpy
Imagine waking up fully rested seeing some sort of supernatural creature (usually undead) in your room. Shortly after waking it notices you.
pareidoliaperson
The darkest corner in my rooms in the past comes to.life and holds me from my neck taking me through time & space, past & present.
pareidoliaperson
Until I'm back in my bed I'm more awake than dreaming and feel.the paralysis more so. I try to make a sound. One day, i had a sore throat.
pareidoliaperson
Made the girliest high pithed sound w my throat, people walking outside home from a party I guess at thebhour of 5 am, they were laughing xD
TheTrueDovahSpy
It begins to move towards you, its intentions unknown, most likely malicious. Fear takes hold of you. Adrenaline pumping in a cold sweat.
TheTrueDovahSpy
Your first thought is to run. But... you can't? No part of your body works. The only muscles capable of movement are those in your eyes.
TheTrueDovahSpy
You think to try to scream, perhaps someone will come. But... you can't? All you can do is lie and wait until whatever is there is done.
AninOnin
I did it once. Never saw anything, but was convinced I was dying of CO poisoning. (There's some backstory there, I'm not crazy.)
GingerLaird
I'd struggle to keep em' open because of the nightmare that woke me up to sleep paralysis.
TheJewsHas
sometimes it makes the alien abduction shit feel, you hear weird noises and see weird shit sometimes its just dark with generic alien noises
numbat
I have, but I don't hallucinate. So it is rather boring while I wait to either go back to sleep or my body catches up.
nightaudron
Yeah, agree with not
xninjagal
Half asleep couldn't move my body but could look around. See my brother walk in with mask going to kill me with bat. Woke up. It fuck me up
xninjagal
No idea if it was sleep paralysis, but felt so real and couldnt move and not talk. It was like I was hullicinating then snapped out of it.
MXKNR
I did
heckal2
I have vivid dreams. When I can't move I still am able to look around. Really messed with me what I see.
grichen93
If you don't mind me asking, what do you see?
heckal2
Random things really. grimlins that use me like a scratching post. Another is a long limbed white thing with no bottom jaw. And dozens more.

I only saw a few hazy apperitions once, the other times where i'm able to move about my room (when im still asleep in my bed) 1/2
OddSoull
I can't move past my bedroom, just kinda like limbo, but eventually i start getting scared so i have to force myself awake. 2/2
MainlyHereForTheSpellingAndPuns
I usually either see "the shadow man" or a floating spider.
Codegirl96
Shadow man and one time a creepy horror movie-esque elderly demon woman
FallenJester
Mine is a shadow woman with long pointy claws.
mokirak
I usually see a long dark arm swinging my door open and shut repeatedly really quickly
Captjustice
Man i get both. Shadow man likes to pace the end of the room, spider does what it wants, veiled shadow woman always stands right over me. :(
FallenJester
I always get the woman. She runs her long clawed fingers through my hair and face. Won't spoon though
MissR3d
I hate the shadow man so much. So so so much
sulgsahg
ive seen both while awake and moved in my sleep to see the shadow man laying on top of my roommate he was dreaming someone was chokeing him
sulgsahg
he woke up and couldnt breath till he heard me move.....
pyroam
Ugh, I ALWAYS see a spider skittering up the wall or hanging on the ceiling whenever I'm first waking up.
ticktockbent
Oh that's just Bob. He's such a prankster
InboxPuppies
I never had this problem so this is just my guess but, what if that “spider” you see when you wake up is actually just your eye lashes?
PatrickRob82
The fuck? That's exactly what I saw. Ok, now I'm worried their might be transdimentional ghost spiders all around us.
MainlyHereForTheSpellingAndPuns
Check out studies on hypnogogic and hypnopompic hallucinations. Usually spiders are involved.
PatrickRob82
Because there are transdimentional ghost spiders and many of us can see them.
StarsArising
I had a weird sleep-paralysis thing when i was young. I could move around but id wake up and be hallucinating huge af spiders crawling all >
StarsArising
>over the walls. Turning on a light made them vanish and they disappeared upon touching the line where the pillows started. Weird as fuck.
StarsArising
> Now i have normal sleep paralysis sometimes and see a shadowy figure like typical cases.
Shovi

when a sleep paralysis is coming and how to counteract them. I get a feeling in my whole body, like there is some sort of chemical going 5

and i saw a shadowy figure with a sort of veil over its head, sitting by the end of the bed, in front of a window. That one terrified me3

electricity go through my body, feeling something on my body and at the end i had a hallucination. Decided to to open my eyes that time, 2

I did that once and another idiot said i should do it like now, now you idiot said i shouldn't. Can't win with these motherfucking idiots.

I really am sorry, I must have been having a bad day but I shouldn't have lashed out.

I used to have horrible sleep paralysis and it was scary as hell. I couldn't move or do anything and it's really scary.
Lunali
There was this weird shifting in the corner of my vision, I used to hear breathing. I have nightmares about it but it doesn't happen anymore
Mehlsack
Holy shit. I can't even immagine what this would feel like. How old were you when it happened?
IamTheBestAtDonutEating
Ppl see things its called hynopompic hallucinations and i assume some are extremely fuckin terrifying
RealRaceRiotsAreAboutGettingBlueshelledInMarioKart
As a Narcoleptic, living in a 100+ y.o. home: FUCK hypnogogic hallucinations.
ihatemynekofetish
One time I had sleep paralysis was when I was on my side and I suddenly felt like I was being watched when all of a sudden I hear
ihatemynekofetish
Some sort of mystic chanting and as it got louder I felt a knife going along my back. As everything got quite I thought it was over but
ShadisticMelon
Yes they are i need background noise to sleep because of this shit, Distracts my brain so i dont fall into sleep paralysis.

Fuck is going on here. What's sleep paralysis and why are you guys so afraid
LiterallyHitlersLeftNut
I think sleep paralysis concocts your worst fears in order to jumpstart your body to wake up. I normally see my self at my worst. 1/
PissBlitz
I usually have a "shadowman", no face, sitting on a chair. He always seem angry when my eyes open, almost frustrated. Don't like him
