RE: Sleep Paralysis...their back......
It's interesting that Aurora had her SP experience just after childbirth as that's when I had mine. It totally freaked me out. My mum has also had a similar experience, although her eyes were open and she saw ghoulie things, whilst I hallucinated nasties with my eyes closed. [:'(]
Truly horrible. I do feel for you Trinity. I hope they go away soon. I give myself Reiki now when I'm worried about having a repeat performance. [:o]

RE: Sleep Paralysis...their back......
Hi Trinity
Was totally fascinated to read this thread and to finally realise what I have been suffering from for the last 10 years! I actually convinced myself that my previous house was haunted as I would be semi awake but completely unable to move with the overwhelming feeling that there was a malevolent "force" present. Very Scary!!! [sm=hidesbehindsofa.gif]
Being practical now - tended to occur if I had a nap in the afternoon (am a SAD sufferer - so very frequent in winter)! Just went onto Astra's link and there is a suggestion that it can be caused by a lack of melatonin to the brain - which I know is supplied by some anti-d's. So could have been triggered by you coming off the meds? I was on cipramil previously so...
Thanks so much for making me feel more normal (will never be completely normal as refuse to! :D) Plus really interesting to read about OOBE - will be surrounding myself with bubbles of light, etc, before I fall asleep in future...
Love Gabby X

That is exactly how it happened to me, and also how I deliberately learned to pursue OOBEs, so it is quite normal, Gabby.

Heya Trin,
In answer to your original Q, 'why is this happening more now?', do you think it could be that, although you are feeling healthier in yourself esp. now you've come of the AD's, the other recent events in your life are still tied up inside you.
I know you've done a lot to deal with the situation and from what you told me, you've managed to get over the initial shock and made some positive choices about what's what and what you're going to do for yourself, but I would imagine (only guessing here) that there are still things that need sorting out, whether that be outside or within yourself. Having had a few other things on your mind (like getting off the AD's etc.) you may have bottled up some things and although you might not realise it these could cause you some stress; and stress being stress it can manifest in all sorts of ways, including triggering things/weaknesses (not meant in a bad way *hugs*) in you.
Like I said I'm only guessing, cos I can't say I'm very experienced of the Sleep Paralysis thing, although I've had a few odd nights sleep which has left me thinking whether it was an OOBE or something even stranger.... I really need to take more notice of these things and record them.
Hope things pick up... and no doubt I'll see you soon.
Love and Reiki Hugs
