Stuck between sleep and awake HELP PLEASE

hi everybody I just signed up to this website just to leave my comment hopefully somebody can give me some advice... I have read all the
testimonials and I'm sitting here in disbelief! This is the first time I have looked up my experience and was so suprised to see all this! Anyway my
experience is usually the same everytime. It mostly happens it seems just as I'm drifting off to sleep. Suddenly I have this overwhelming feeling
that starts at my core and radiates out... It feels like pressure and kind of tingly and very over-powering. It scares the crap out of me and I have
to use all my will power to snap out of it. I'm scared to let it progress, but a few times it has been out of my control and went further to the
point where I felt awake, I could see as if I was awake (except only in front of me), but one problem, CANT FREAKIN MOVE! Feels like pressure is
surrounding me like being 100000 feet under water. I try to speak or scream so hard but no sound will come out. I feel dread, as if something
terrible is going to happen so I close my eyes (I guess they already are closed in real life) and start praying furiously "god please help me please
please help me" over and over until I finally snap out of it! (im not a very religious person, but I pray because I don't know what else to do and
it always works, also because someone once told me this feeling was a demon) many times I have felt the vibrating feeling upon snapping out of it.
When my ex and I were still together I would tell her to watch over me on the nights that the feeling was coming over me. She would wake me up and
tell me I was freaking her out because I was doing a weird breathing thing (she could never explain exactly what she meant by that). There is only
one time I can recall that I became petrified because while I was feeling the pressure someone or something grabbed my leg and began to yank me out
of bed. I couldn't see that time, only blackness but I remember sitting up and yelling "get the f*** off me!" and it did. Anyway this happens to me
at random times, sometimes many months go by without it and sometimes it happens several nights in a row. It has happened during the day as well if
I take an afternoon nap...
After reading these I feel like I shouldnt be so quick to try and snap out of it, I have considered just letting it happen but I always get
scared... Any input or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

see a doctor.
its not that serious, it doesn't affect my everyday life its just something weird that happens to me. the other posts that ive read with similar occurances have stuff to do with astroprojection or something. Ive always just assumed I had sleep paralysis but it just seems a little more freaky sometimes than a simple scientific name for it.

These things are due to something called sleep paralysis. I think your very lucky to be able to go into sleep paralysis because you can do things like have out of body experiences with it. it sounds EXACTLY like the classic Sleep paralysis experience. don't be scared because nothing can happen to you

I agree it sounds like sleep paralysis. And with all due respect to your judgment, saying that "it seems more freaky sometimes than a simple scientific name for it", means you think you have suffered every aspect of sleep paralysis and can judge that this is beyond it - before you do that, I suggest you read up on Sleep Paralysis a little more (my sig has links to many resources), as it is common to hear voices, see figures and even feel physical sensations - some people even report being slapped or choked, so a leg pull is pretty unremarkable, in the scope of what could happen.
The "breathing thing" could be a medical condition, and you might mention it if you see a doctor - if you look it up on the net, I'd be careful not too jump to conclusions or "freak out", as I know how easy that is to do.
As for the astral projection, that is the claim of some people, and that is an issue I can't speak to, other than to confirm I've seen those claims.

My favorite link to the subject is in my sig also.
I started a thread last year, on the syfy forums as "LaJaDiSc", that touched on the subject of sleep paralysis, hypnogogic and hypnopompic halucinations (the thread died long ago), if anyone is interested.
