I have on several occasions woke up in the midst of REM sleep. I am completely unable to move and my eyes are still rapidly shifting and I can’t stop them. I have gone so far as to start actually creating dream images within (ie. my robe hanging over the side of a chair became a hooded dwarf) my room. I was perfectly aware that I was in a dream state ( I have lucid dreams also) and knew what I saw was my mind creating a dream image. This long and profound episode came not long after having been hypnotized. Has this happened to anyone else? Does the hypnosis play into it?

I sleep fine normally, but when anything exciting is going on the next day… like most people it’s hard for me to fall asleep but the difference for me is i NEVER eventually fall asleep… i stay up all night no matter what i do……
i want a safe sleeping pill i can take only on certain occasions…. one that doesn’t make you sick or feel drunk or anything……

plus are there any other ways to make myself sleep without pills?

Sometimes when I go to sleep and right before I fall asleep I become temporarily paralyzed. The amount of time varies but usually does not last longer than10-20 seconds. I also sometime feel presence in the room, and their have been some occasions that i would see an illusion that someone is standing over my bed.
1) What is this called?
2)Is it normal?
3)How do I prevent it?
4)Why does this happen?

Thanks

I’ve been known to run full out into walls when I’m asleep and even kickbox like I used to be able to in my twenties. On many occasions I’ve needed medical attention. I never awaken feeling rested and sometimes wake up with cuts, bruises and spinal injuries.
