It would usually take at most about 20 seconds to shake it off, then I could open my eyes and get up. |
I've been getting that every once in while for nearly eleven years, I don't get a bad dream beforehand (at least not one I recall). Sometimes with extreme effort I can move my fingers, I think I may have been able to mutter something not sure. My breathing has always been fine though. I do get the feeling of pressure on part of me, sometimes quite strong. Once it came with the sensation of a green presence entering the room, I had my eyes closed but I had the overwhelming sensation of green, and once I heard a voice telling me to get up. Last time it happened it felt like someone was stroking my back in an affectionate manner! It never used to cause me much concern, I think originally I just assumed it was a strange sort of dream. Apparently it is just some sort of dream or pseudo dream state. You feel like you have woken up, but your natural sleep time paralysis is still in effect and so is your brains capacity to create 'dreams' its an odd quirk thats all nothing to worry about and I believe that. Though I have no objective proof of whether it is a strange malfunction of sleep or a visitation!
The only thing I can't explain is the other phenomana you mention and your experiences when you are apparently awake.
