Sleep Paralysis again!!!?
You know for the past year a lot of this crap has been happening to me.
Last night I was asleep and I woke up and like usual I couldn't sleep. Then boom I was out. Two in the morning roles around and I wake up again only this time I couldn't move. I felt like someone was watching me and I started to tell them to leave me alone. Right when I did that I could feel the presence even stronger. Then I started to tell them that you couldn't mess with me because I belong to God...then I hear in a soft child like voice "So.." and then something warm jumped on top of me and I could move again.
what the hell is this?

I am 33yrs old and have suffered with this since I was about four years old. Sometimes once a week, once a month or sometimes I go through a few months without an episode. For me it seems to come in spurts. I have done research over the years to try and figure why this happens. Mainly through online sleep disorder websites and I can tell you that it is nothing to worry about (although easier said done when you are experiencing it). Here is what I have learned.
When we are sleeping a hormone is released into our muscles to paralyze them. This is to prevent us from acting out our dreams. This hormone is supposed to ware off as soon as we wake up, but for some people, such as ourselves it does not. We come fully conscious while the hormone is still waring off. Sleep walkers have the opposite problem. They do not get enough of it, so they act out their dreams.
I hope this helps. I know it's scary when it happens, try and relax and simply full back to sleep when it happens.

Thats freaking crazy! I would like freak out so badly if that happend to me. Maybe you should stretch before going to bed so your not so stiff in the morning. Or paralyzed... One of the two. Sleep with a TV on or something cause that makes me more confortable when I sleep.
Thats so creely

omg this sounds terrible and scary. Especially the hallucinatory part of it. I have dealt with a lot of mental illness and I am terrified of things like hallucinations and voices. I am so sorry. I thought having insomnia was bad. The most I can tell you is see a doctor, I think they can do more for you than we can.
