Ok, I'll try to explain this as best as I possibly can. When I woke up this morning i turned on the radio and laid there for a bit more. I ended up dozing off and woke back up. My eyes were closed, I was aware of the sounds and what was going on around me but I couldn't move at all, as If I was paralyzed, I tried to say something and I couldn't open my mouth. All I was able to do at this time was breathe. After about 10 seconds of this I started to panic and all of a sudden everything just kicked back in and I started breathing much heavier. Any Explanation?

You were probably still asleep, but in the process of waking up. Maybe some type of sleep apnea. Who knows.

I have heard of a condition called (I believe) sleep paralysis. It sounds like what you experienced. I know that experts feel that it is partly to blame for supposed alien abductions.

OO that's like what happened to me when I was 12 or 11! I was awake but unaware of the feeling of being awake. I was awake but couldn't remember what I did a second before. I was awake but I felt asleep! it was the oddest experience EVER

Well come to think of it this has happened before but i'd usually be able to snap out of it easy but this time it lasted for a while. For a while I thought I was dying. Totally weird but I guess I wouldn't mind it happening again. It was pretty cool.

I was meditating on the beach the first time my soal left my body when it did at first i noticed that i could see myself sitting on the beach with my journal and i was huvering above my body next all i remember is leaving this world and relm as we know it. I was a ball of mass that could see, touch, feel, hear, taste, smell, and so much more that any physical since in all direction as far as the mind can fathem and father, i had obtained all of knowlege understanding and knowing of all that exists all that doesn't exist all that is and all the isn't. i had touched the eternal IS. THeirs no word to describe it becuase it's outside of what we can fathem to exist. i was a flood of knowlege and understanding of the essance of existance that was almost to much. to the point wear i believed very powerfully that i had died and what i was experiance ing was death not thinking i would ever return to reality and not wanting to. But i had no desires no cares no worries it was as if nothing mattered. in any since of any being it was as it was. and i was the essance of being content in every posible way.
This affected the rest of my entire life that was 4 months ago. After it happend with in a two week time i got rid of my car, quit my job, got a friend to move into my room in my dueplex bought a plan ticket to florda and gave away. practicly all that i owned and flew to Florida i have been hitchicking on the the road across the contry ever since liveing only out of a bookbag. in the woods, under bridges in peoples homes that i meet along the way im' in san fransisco now and life has become amazing in every posible way. i live every moment sec by second not thinking to much about the past nor the furture i only feast my eyes on the present. and it's amazing how much life starts to work perfectly in every situation providing all i need and seting up meeting with the exact people that i need to meet at that exact moment. I am 20 years old.

Well were you completelly conciouse or was it posible to see yourself still inside of your mind?
Did you have a dream or do you remember any part of your dream?
In general do you remember your dreams upon waking or do you usualy just forget them or if you do remember them pay no mind to them and end up forgeting soon affter???

I have has that happen to me a lot and sometimes, not only can I not open my mouth but, I can't breath for a moment. I think it might be due to the partial REM sleep paralysis that takes you over while you are sleeping. It keeps, or is supposed to keep you from sleepwalking and hurting yourself. occasionally it takes a little longer to break out of this state....thus causing temporary paralysis...

Hi there,
Sound's to me that you had the beggining of an OBE, they are pretty scary as i have had many but only got as far as the stairs. When i first found out what was happening to me i couldn't believe it, i haven't as yet gone through with one, but one day i will and let you guy's know as i am still pretty scared to let go. But there's loads on the net to read about, and it is a cool read.
Love S-S.xx

I only had this one time before. My theory is that I think the "sleep" and the "awake" are interferring each others which will cause the paralysis from the "sleep", and the 5 senses from "awake"

It might've been sleep paralyzsis or the beggining of an OBE. Since I've never experienced a sleep paralysis, I coudn't tell you which one it is.

I didn't have a dream, I always remember my dreams and I know I was awake cuz I was listening to the radio. I kinda panicked, I felt like this was the end. I felt like my time was up and i was dying, fading away.

Hi there StratMan172.
Yes that is exactly what happened to me, like i said it is scary and you do feel out of controll, and thats the scary part, not feeling able to controll what is happening to you. It does sound very much like an OBE but please don't take only my word for it, read up on it, it is fascinating stuff.
S-S....

I believe it could from sleeping on a part of the body thats numb from being lied on for a long amount of time that your body goes into a temporary quick shock but snaps out of it.

I've had numerous lucid dreams, it's quite interesting. You don't want to do what you think you would; I flew around in my body kind of like a bird, that seemed like the only thing I wanted to do.
The other really memorable dream I had (2nd grade) I was at school, and my guidance conselor was pushing kids into this portal/gate like a black hole, just a swirling mass of darkness. When it came my turn to 'die' I instantly snapped out of it, and knew it was a dream, and controlled the rest of the dream with my own will.

Maybe aliens came abducted and inserted a probe into you,

or sleep paralysis. Which is what that is experts say it is when your brain is still in the unconscious mode and your body is in conscious mode were you cant move or do anything.
