the Stuff Dreams are made of...

lol i dont even know if i am in the right forum…

moved to stuff dreams are made of, since it’s a general dream related Question ~Q~

but i have always had issues with waking up in the middle of the night…not being able to move or even yell i tried…so i was looking this up and the closest thing i could find was this whole hag thing…but the things…i’ve never been “attacked” or even felt like something was there…so could this be something else? or for whatever reason they havent made they’re presence known cuz i am confused…it use to be every now and then…recently its been almost 3 times a week…it scares me…i have a lil boy now…my biggest fear is i go under ono of these and he happens to roll and fall out of bed hurt…hearing him crying for me and me not being able to move…i think that is my biggest fear…

you know come to think of it…and this still could have been some other kind of entity or ghost…but a few weeks ago i was just dozing off…when i felt a hand grab my foot…but i was paralyzed and all…i thought it was my son…i looked over and saw him fast alseep and i jumped about 10 feet in the air and out of bed…

so see…that doesnt make sense either…i hear the stories about even them messing with your feet…but you not being able to move…i obvoisly was that one time…

lol whats going on? does this still sound like a hag or whats the deal…?

:wave: hello JBristow, welcome to the forum.
SP (sleep paralysis) is not always accompanied with the old hag experience. Reading your post, it appears you are just waking up before the normal SP (that we all experience during REM) has worn off.
As for your fear of something happening while you are in SP … I am sure your natural reactions would enable you to fully wake up.

It seems like a usual sleep paralysis to me. And that feet thing too. You can get various sounds, images and feelings while you’re half asleep, half awake. It can be very tricky to recognize what’s created by your subconscious and what’s not.

Rest assured, sleep paralysis is only temporary. So your biggest fear should not be having SP and not being able to help your child, because it usually does not last that long. The fact that it is your fear may even make you hallucinate about that very thing during SP, which would ofcourse make it a very disturbing experience.
