Have you ever woken up and your whole body feels like its been paralysed? You can see the person in front of you but can't move a muscle to either touch the person or call out to him/her. You are fully conscious but unable to move, talk or even blink. Its also suffocating and gut-wrenching.

Now a lot of people have come up with different explanations; some say its a spiritual attack and others say its actually a toxic gas released by a spider above the affected person. As for me, am totally confused.

So my question is; what is it really? And if its a health issue, what is it called?

I srsly tnk its a spiritaul thing.

medically....your brain woke up before other parts of the body

Does it happen to you?

Twaci:

Hmmm, ok. How did u stop yours?

Twaci this happened to me once tho. I was still very young. Probably around 5 6yrs.

I could remember being awake and not able to move, talk or do anything. Yet my eyes were a lil bit opened and I could see dad checking up on me from time to time and wondering why I had not woken up.

I could also hear conversations going on around me. It was like a state of temporal paralysis tho. When I could finally move my body I jumped out of bed.

Nwazz I had some paranorma activities as a lil kid. Can't explain many, but they happened just once. Another thing is I can remember them clearly like it just happened.

Medically, huh? What about the eyes? She mentioned that she could see but not move.

This is serious. Buh yours has stopped shey? I mean becos of this issue, I am sometimes scared to close my eyes. Its really scary.

Twaci:

They gave me the spider theory

It's normal. It's when your brain wakes up before your body. It's the opposite of sleep walking when your body wakes before your brain. If it happens often then it becomes a form of sleep apnea. Google it you'll find a lot of medical explanations. It's not spiritual people turn to that reasoning whenever they can't understand something. Let us see if xiadnat can add some light to this for us.

When people sleep walk their eyes are closed but their body is awake. In this case when the brain is awake and the body is still sleeping your eyes are open.

Please don't let people scare you with all that spiritual stuff come on it's 2015.

No wonder. . I guess you have all the experience since yours wake a lot later than required...

It mostly apn wen sleepin

.

Its not spiritual but physical, but there is nothing God cannot do. its not normal, and it has to do with how d brain rotates sleeping pattern/phase.

Its called sleeping paralysis, or (old hag syndrome(myth)because those days its believed that its a witch that pins u down), it is common among those with sleeping disorder especially narcolepsy, it mostly happens wen u are falling asleep, or just waking up. I was once a victim, i still experienced it of recent, its not life threatening but very scary.

Sleep paralysis...

Twaci:
Really?

~ This is the 21st century.. there's no such thing as spiritual attack ..its just superstition ..

This is weird to me o...but I think it's the work of village witches...
