Guest Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Its 4:34 AM at the time of this post. I woke up at 3:15, feeling very odd. I felt disconnected in my head and my hands and arms were numb. I couldn't make a fist with my left hand (it was weak). My body feels slightly euphoric and I'm having weird, trippy feelings all over. In my head, I see silvery lights and feel like I'm in an alien world. It feels like another dimension. I see faces and beings made out of silvery light. I look around my room and the walls look strange and have patternings on them. I think "this is it, I'm dying. I'm having a stroke. This is what death feels like." It's slightly pleasant. There is no fear. Eventually the symptoms subside and I'm left wondering why I keep having these strange experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDoc Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) When I was young (a long time ago) I used to have those half awake/half asleep dreams where you know where you are but the body is paralyzed. It's usually accompanied with vivid images. Grotesque faces are apparently common and that's exactly what I saw when it happened to me. I guess it's pretty common. There's a name for it that escapes me at the moment. I don't know if that's what you experienced but it sounds similar. It can also be accompanied by a full body buzzing not unlike a huge inhalation of nitrous. Edited June 7, 2017 by MadDoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 I've had sleep paralysis before but this wasn't the same thing. I could move and speak. This was similar to how I felt one night after starting Paxil (SSRI). Felt numb down one side of my body and in my head and face, was seeing swirling patterns thinking I was having a stroke.
