fox123 Posted 11 December 2008 Posted 11 December 2008 Anyone ever heard of this? According to research it's quite common yet not well known. Basically the person, even though aware and maintains that they're awake, is atonic, and has great difficulty making any movements. Quite scary really.
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 11 December 2008 Posted 11 December 2008 Nope, but is it like when people are really drunk but can barely talk or walk

The People's Hero Posted 11 December 2008 Posted 11 December 2008 I have experienced it once. It freaked me out. Just the once though. Why do you ask, fox123, have you had it happen?
hairy Posted 11 December 2008 Posted 11 December 2008 Happened to a friend of mine last week. Woke up and couldn't move. Freaked him out.
Ric Flair Posted 11 December 2008 Posted 11 December 2008 Had a client contact me with this for some Hypnosis. Never turned up though, probably says it all really.

I had a similar experience a week ago, I was there, I could see and hear what was going on around me but the motor part of my brain just seemed to not want to function, shit me up.

Thankfully, I think I fell back in to a 'full' sleep not long after. It was freaky but thankfully I was aware that it could happen and so assumed there was nothing majorly wrong.

My friend is a Psychologist in London, I was asking him a couple of days ago if he sees much of it, and he was telling me he is seeing a lot more people coming through the door having suffered with it. He said that it's getting more known now than what it was.
Ric Flair Posted 11 December 2008 Posted 11 December 2008 Any idea what actually causes it? Not too sure medically, but my take on it, which is my take on almost everything is that it's definitely aggrivated by negative emotions, anxieties etc. I am sure there is a more complex basis to it, but if I were to be of any help to someone who has this, that's where i'd be focusing on.
fox123 Posted 11 December 2008 Author Posted 11 December 2008 Any idea what actually causes it? My initial thought was, that, as we get older out reactions become slower and that maybe the 'motor' part of the brain just reacts slower when we initially wake up. Seems its much deeper. Possible causesSleep paralysis occurs during REM sleep, thus preventing the body from manifesting movements made in the subject's dreams. Very little is known about the physiology of sleep paralysis.[citation needed] However, some have suggested that it may be linked to post-synaptic inhibition of motor neurons in the pons region of the brain.[citation needed] In particular, low levels of melatonin may stop the depolarization current in the nerves, which prevents the stimulation of the muscles, to prevent the body from enacting the dream activity (e.g. preventing a sleeper from flailing his legs when dreaming about running).[citation needed] Several studies have concluded that many or most people will experience sleep paralysis at least once or twice in their lives.[citation needed] Many people who commonly enter sleep paralysis also suffer from narcolepsy. In African Americans, panic disorder occurs with sleep paralysis more frequently than in Caucasians.[12] Some reports read that various factors increase the likelihood of both paralysis and hallucinations. These include:[13] * Sleeping in a face upwards or supine position * Irregular sleeping schedules; naps, sleeping in, sleep deprivation * Increased stress * Sudden environmental/lifestyle changes * A lucid dream that immediately precedes the episode.

The People's Hero Posted 11 December 2008 Posted 11 December 2008 Did you hypnotise yourself to make yourself believe you could do the Ockto Stacker - or didn't you need it?

The People's Hero Posted 11 December 2008 Posted 11 December 2008 EFT mate. Anything is possible with that. Can you hypnotise me in to pulling this girl? Or do we need to hypnotise her?

Ric Flair Posted 11 December 2008 Posted 11 December 2008 Can you hypnotise me in to pulling this girl?Or do we need to hypnotise her? Sadly, we cannot make anyone do anything they don't want to do, but I can't see why she'd not be up for the gig anyway. So, a bit of EFT for both parties and it's Nelly & Kelly mate.
Katy Posted 11 December 2008 Posted 11 December 2008 Yes, I've had it. Tis most bizarre and slightly worrying. In fact I had it the other week and simply couldn't lift my head up or my legs then after a while it went but it's a fooking weird sensation to say the least.
Ric Flair Posted 11 December 2008 Posted 11 December 2008 I've never had it, but it does sound almost like a catatonic state, which is one of the levels of trance that people go in to when hypnotised.
Alexikokopops Posted 11 December 2008 Posted 11 December 2008 I've had it before. Freaked me out no end.
