Oh Great, I have Night Terrors now...

[Mr.Reak]

http://www.nightterrors.org/index.html

You know that stupid feeling, when you wake up in the middle of the night, unable to move, but scared as shit. Well guess what people, it’s Night Terror… For example, many people see shit when they “wake up” like that, dark figures going around the room, etc. I for one, only hear voices in my head, room shaking and some other weird things that I don’t really recall anymore. The funny part you wake up, shaking, in sweat and scared as a little baby. I have these things happening to me about once a month. Annoying… You know, I am growing up and finding more and more problems with my mental stability. I am afraid by 30 I will be complete bold, skinny as skeleton, and with cancer in my balls.

 

[mortiz]

What are they caused by?

Any known causes?

 

[Mr.Reak]

Night terrors have been shown to appear in stage 4 of sleep. This is what separates them from nightmares which can occur anytime in sleep. It is possible to make a night terror occur in some people, simply by touching or awakening them during stage 4 of sleep. Why night terrors occur is still a mystery. The mind is supposed to be practically void during the deeper stages of sleep. The subject will awake gasping, moaning, crying but more often screaming. Breathing rapidly they will sit up in bed with a wide eyed terror filled stare. This panic will often last anywhere from five to twenty minutes. I find the most amazing aspect of night terrors is that it generates a heart rate of 160 to 170 beats per minute. This is much faster than the normal heart rate that can be attained under most stressful circumstances.

Some things that can help bring out a night terror are stress, certain medications, (It is hard to list exactly which ones) being over-tired or eating a heavy meal before going to bed. Many different medical ailments contribute to the frequency of Night Terrors. (Once again to many and to hard to list, Please do not e-mail me to have one added.) These things DO NOT cause night terrors, they just seem to put your body into the state where a night terror can manifest itself. People without night terrors will not have a night terror because of the above reasons.

Well, he doesn't seem to know, but I guess stress is one of the reasons. I mean you can blame anything on stress, right? RIGHT?!

Sleep paralysis is worse I think. Thats what makes people think they've been abducted or there's some demon sat on the end of the bed holding them down. Only happened to me once but it scared the shit out of me (funny that I can no longer sleep without medication, not connected to that though, its something else) Anyway your whole body becomes paralyzed and you see things, you can't scream or anything for a good few minutes. It did for me feel as if I was being abducted, I swear to this day I saw Gray aliens moving about in the shadows.. I know however what it was and that I wasn't abducted, but I don't laugh as much at those who think they are anymore after experiencing it for myself. If you weren't aware of it, you'd be convinced it was an abduction.

Scariest shit ever. Tbh sounds a bit like an advanced case of night terrors. And hearing your discription of that it sounds like a guy I knew once had those

Anyway enough babbling, i got work to do

Well, I think you described Night Terror (is it even a official word?) perfectly, because I have the same problems, without seeing figures in the dark (yet, and hope never will). Between this and Insomnia, sleep world seems like a bleak place to me :/

Damn that sounds like some scary shit. Stuff like that only happens in my nightmares.

I used to have night terrors a lot. I mean I would have them about once a week or so. But for the last couple years haven't had it happen. I think thats jsut because I'm lazy now and sleep so deep that if I do wake up I don't notice and fall right back to sleep.

 

[qckbeam]

I've had the same thing a few times Mr.Reak. I almost broke my dads arm once when he walked in during a night terror. He said I was screaming, and it looked like I was having a seizure. So he grabbed my arm, felt that it was covered in sweat, and apparently triggered something since I opened my eyes and attacked him, swinging my fists all over the place trying to hit him. I hit my right hand on the edge of the wooden windowsill and cut it open, and I still didn't wake up. I did hit him in the arm pretty hard as well. He said I calmed down a few seconds later. I don't remember any of that, but I remember shaking and being covered in sweat afterwards, although I wasn't scared at any point (I don't remember it at least). I've always done weird stuff (sleepwalking, this kind of stuff, that sleep paralysis thing) while sleeping though, I'm just a nutter

 

[SubKamran]

Uh...I sleep normally

 

[Ames]

Really...really scary stuff. Don't ever want to see any moving things while I'm sleeping...

/me shudders at the thought....:|

 

[Pressure]

About a year ago I used to have Night Terrors about one to four times a month. I would wake up unable to move and I could hear strange noises. I stopped having them though.

 

[outpost]

Uh...I sleep normally

Yeah well I do now too.

I think my form of it was mild though because I would never wake up my family. I would always hear voices but they would sound so distant that I couldn't make out what they were saying and it always look like there was something moving around out in my hall way. When I woke up I would always be sweaty and sometimes I would have bloody noses(but that might not be involved in any way, unless I hit myself or something), then I would eighter just hide under my sheets(I was little) and try to fall asleep or I would get up and walk into the hallway to see if I saw someone or could hear something.

edit: After thinking of these again I'm getting chills. Damn they scared the shit out of me.

Yea it is pretty damn scary.I've had this happen to me a couple times for the past year now...but I've never "saw" anything or thought I was being abducted.When it first happend all I knew was I couldn't move and once I realized this I just started saying to myself "Oh god forgive me for my sins"...because I thought I was ether dead or dieing.Then I woke up just ready to cry because it seemed like I lost everything....Funny thing is that i'm not even a religous person.

Edit:I also heard my name being called out during one of those and it sounded like my dad, but when I woke up no one was there.

 

[Moto]

It must have something to do with that sexy latino dude and how you beat him over the head with a baseball bat.

 

[thenerdguy]

Ive had it happen severial times.

The scariest was when I was camping by my self, I woke up about 3:00 AM and couldnt move or scream, And I saw something moving around at the corner of my vision. It lasted for about 5 minutes before I could move again. I packed up and ran for all I was worth!

Im not sure about what people think or think they know about it, My personal thinking is that sometimes when you are asleep you wake up partially in our dimension and some other dimension. Or that demons or something arnt fully in there dimension and because they are in our dimension they disturb us.

Im not a person that knows alot about this but thats just some of the things that I have come up with.

I dont know.

 

[SnowBall]

I couldnt sleep last night. Not because of night terrors or anything, just been playing Silent Hill 3 too much. *twitches*

 

[WhiteBoy]

It was interesting to read all these stories, but now I am going to think about them when I go to sleep..

I always have nightmares about the things I don't like, and whenever I see a weird, freaky move, I always get freaked out, and that was when I was 15. I can't recall getting seriously freaked out by anything for the past year, and I hope this doesn't bring anything back. The last thing that really freaked me out was the movie The Ring. I would be laying in bed and I would just think about it over and over, and I would think I saw someone at the foot of my bed..

I think that's what was happening to me because I couldn't move at all or I could talk or make any noise. No matter how hard I tried to move I couldn't and eveytime it happened I would here voices or laughing. It really sucked. What usually happened in my dreams before this happened is I would be staring into someone's eyes and they'd be staring back then all of a sudden it feels like I'm getting pulled back extremely fast while all the images from my dreams disappear into the horizon. After that I would open my eyes, I was startled but I couldn't move and I could hear myself breathing fast, like the way you could hear yourself breathing in Half-Life when the cascade is created, and that voice/laugh. No matter how many times it happened I was always scared because it's so sudden and I don't know what was happening. It was creepy as hell the first time it happened, infact I didn't sleep after it did the first time. But like I said before for a year it happened about 1 to 4 times a month then it stopped and I haven't had one since. One thing about the dreams though, when I was staring into the other person's eyes they always had an evil look in them and that's why it scared me, that and the voice/laugh.

 

[Vegeta897]

God this is the scariest thread I have ever read. X_X

I used to have these "night terrors" They only happened when there was a digital alarm clock in my sight. Very weird! No?
Well, heres my story...
I remember when I was younger, (5 or 6) I had one or two. One I remember there was something to do with aliens... (strange how this is a common subject, perhaps a sign?)
You are lying in bed, perhaps awake, but in a strange state, where you see things and hear noises. I remember another thing in one of these, large metal shudders closing.

I am tearing just thinking about this...

More recently (8-11 years old) The same thing essentially happens, with the noises and the shapes. I have discovered something though. When I am very tired, things seem very far away when I look at them. Anyone else experience this? I think it has something to do with my terrors, I remember things being far away...

Ahh, it is coming back... I remember being in my bed... Calling my mom... everything was far away... couldn't reach... shifting my eyes nerviously... fugging scary. Then slowly as my mom tries to calm me... Sweating like mad... Everythings ok now...

They don't happen anymore... I avoid having alarm clocks in my view...

I sleepwalked once, according to my mom...
I went into her room (my mom tells me, I don't remember a thing) and she says she woke up, and said "What is it" and I said "What?" she would ask me what was wrong and stuff, and I would jsut say "Nothing!" "What?" "Nothing mom." Like I was just standing there doing nothing.

I faintly remember standing there though...

So, that is my story, glad they don't happen again.

 

[outpost]

One I remember there was something to do with aliens... (strange how this is a common subject, perhaps a sign?)

It's probably because of movies. When I think of Aliens the first thing I think is eigther alien grays abducting people or the aliens from the movie aliens(damn there cool looking).

 

[Bling]

WOW so its like your body is still asleep but you can see and think (partially) thats insane.!!!!!! You can see by your body is in a sleeping state and cant move.!!?!?!!!!!

Ive never had that happen before, but twice i have waken up too fast and passed out. The worse time i was at a camp, woke up too fast and passed out cold for 10 min.s When i woke i threw up for 20 min.s str8...it sucked.

 

[Tr0n]

One thing about the dreams though, when I was staring into the other person's eyes they always had an evil look in them and that's why it scared me, that and the voice/laugh.

Omg...I've had the same type of dream.Well my uncle died about a year ago (may he rest in peace) and I was really destroyed, because he was coolest uncle ever.About a week later when I was sleeping; that same type of dream came to me.I was at my grandparents house in one of the big rooms with this old wood heater and all of a sudden everything turned red.Then my uncle just appeared in front of me, but something was diffrent.His eyes where yellow like some demon you would see in a movie.

Well I crept closer to him and looked at his face for a second to see his eyes.Then all of a sudden he smiled at me and I looked to see that his teeth were like that of a demon....sharp and yellowish, just pure horror came over me.I realized I was in hell and again I just started praying to god in my head.Then everything just dissapeared and I woke up.

Ever since that day I believed that I'm going to hell and that theres nothing I can do about it....

[CrazyHarij]

Sleep paralysis is extremely creepy.. It's like being in a dream and awake at the same time, you see stuff in your dream and the real world simultaneously, and the only thing you have in your mind is fear..

I've only had it a few times in my life though.

Yea everytime I've done it their eyes are red, black or yellow. It's never been a person I've known but they smile at you in an evil way.

Yep like that, incredible fear, and like watching the scariest movie ever, only its not on TV its right there in your room, infront of you and behind you and in the shadows. You see things moving, look like gray objects with wispy arms and large heads (scientifically its probably just your eyes not forcussing correctly because your brain is still not working properly) but to see them you immedialte think they are aliens, and its like their swimming around you and speaking or whispering (had the whispering a lot, but the not being able to move was a once only event) and no matter what you do you can't move (thats the scariest bit, your entirely helpless) you can't scream or get away and at that moment its all you want to do and you'll do absolutely anything you can to try break free from it. A few minutes later the fear starts to fade and you find you can start to move little by little. Your also really tired and many apparantly fall back asleep and the next morning feel just fine.

So when you add all that up, it DOES sound like the average abduction experience. Except its not. I mean I believe in UFO's but I know I wasn't abducted, but it sure had a great deal of similarities

 

[The Dark Elf]

WOW so its like your body is still asleep but you can see and think (partially) thats insane.!!!!!! You can see by your body is in a sleeping state and cant move.!!?!?!!!!!

Imagine your laid in your bed and someone is underneath it pulling the covers REALLY tightly around you, stopping any movement atall. Yet you don't actually feel the covers pressing down on you, just something on your chest. You can move your eyes but your limbs can't move. You can't open your mouth properly, you can't even make more than a slight sound, even when your brain is saying scream like you've never screamed before. Around you your seeing things which are in the room with you, but not with you, like their only half way into this world and they are all looking at you and watching you. The whole gray alien, tilting head, waving long arms. Looks just like that. You can't do nothing to stop it and can't call for help, your eyes are struggling to make sense of the dark and the same time your brain is screwed up so its turning things into all kind of things. It really is scary. I've often wondered though if you can be shaken out of it, if external movement somehow free's you from it and kickstarts your brain into working correctly. I don't know, couldn't make a noise loud enough to get anyone's attention.

This is why joe bloggs out in the middle of nowhere, with no real interest in things like this, may randomly have this effect them, and think he's been abducted, and why lie detector and hypnotism tests come out as saying it really happened. Because in a way it did. If you know what it is you can put your finger on what really happened, otherwise abduction is the only logical answer..

It's a pretty old condition too, reports of it happening many many years ago, where stories of people waking up to find demons sat on the end of their bed, or crouched on their stomache looking directly at them. There's numerous paintings and stories about it. You can imagine what it must have been like for people back then, absolutely no scientific proof, and the almighty church convincing them that they had sinned because they woke to find the devil claiming their soul and other fun stuff.

As cool as it may sound, pray it never happens to you, its really really awful, and not atall funny like Homer Simpsons (Cobra's) night terrors episode

 

[Pressure]

It's extremely terrifying because it's like something in the room is doing it to you. You can't move, you hear noises and sometimes you see things moving.

 

[torso boy]

Sleep paralysis/night terrors is really f**king scary...you can't move, and if you try to call out to someone or scream yoou can't make any noise or maybe a barely audible short squeak....when i had it either i thought i saw things looking in at me through my window, it would feel like i was being held down by my sheets, normal objects in my room would change form and start moving, or i would see the last things that had scared me lurking in the shadows in my room.

I used to have terrible nightmares and night terrors/sleep paralysis, and i almost never had normal/happy dreams. I think i have uncosiously done something to stop myself dreaming since i've almost had no dreams that i remember in over 4 years.

 

[Darkside55]

That's a trip. Demons sitting on your chest and aliens walking around the room? Jeez my imagination freaks me out enough when I'm awake about aliens and creatures and stuff. Aliens scare the *&#$*&@ outta me.

Anyway I don't know if this is sleep paralysis, but I used to have it where I'd wake up out of a dream, my mind perfectly awake, however my body wouldn't move. No, I didn't feel any pressure on my chest or have the feeling that things were moving around me, or that covers were tightly holding my body from moving, but I was just awake while my body slept. The first time it ever happened it tripped me out, because I knew I was awake and I knew I wasn't dying or anything, but I couldn't open my eyes. I couldn't feel any part of my body, I couldn't even force myself to scream or create even a peep. Not the slightest noise. It was just myself, in pure darkness alone with my thoughts. Quite unnerving, I must say; I could've cried if I wasn't busy trying to figure out a way out of it.
I haven't had it in a very loooooooooooong while, but I am pretty sure when it's about to happen (usually if I'm in such a mood that I can fall asleep right there on the spot, and I do, but I attempt to wake up IMMEDIATELY after), and I can stop it pretty easily. Y'know how you can sometimes shake your brain? Like...I dunno how to describe it but if you can do it then you know what I'm talking about. My mom actually used to tell me that's incredibly bad for me but if ever I go into one of these situations I can just shake my brain for a long enough period of time until it feels like I've gotten control of my hand. Start vibrating hand, vibrate arm, quick as I can throw my arm across my body and BAM! Whole body wakes up. :E

I've also had those situations where right as I'm falling asleep, I'll hear voices so clear that I swear they were real. Once I heard an unmistakable laugh like the devil, deep and gutteral and mirthless. Othertimes I'll think I hear someone calling for me, and I get up to ask if someone was calling, only to find that no one has.

 

[nw909]

I had a night terror recently, woke up for no reason, didn't remember a thing but I was sweating and couldn't move, it was even 6:00am and the room was light, but I was scared as hell.

I heard voices and shit, freaked me out good, hope it doesn't happen again any time soon.

Bingo man, just like me, totally as me actually. And yeah, it will happen again, don't you worry.

 

[EvilFoxBat]

I believe Ive had a couple of night terrors a good 2 years back, scary as hell. I "wake" up in the middle of the night, swore I saw some kind of figure like a huge spider crawling up my bed, so I screamed, throw a blanket over it tackled the blanket, and ran screaming. Noticed after it was over I was sweating, and still scared as hell. That sleep paralysis I dont want to experience, sounds terrible.

 

[A2597]

heh, I've woken up and been 100% unable to move my arm.

Although I had just been sleeping in a manner that cut all circulation to it for who knows HOW long, it hang limp at my side for about 5 minutes, while I used my other arm/hand to move it around. kinda funny really....

I've had the whole "Wake up and KNOW there is someone there" experiance, not sleep related though, my old room was haunted. (In all seriousness). At midday you could watch the shadow of a figure of a hooded man walk across the room, his legs didn't move though. Very odd, it eventually came out that my older sister (who moved downstairs, and I took her room, aka the huanted one) had seen the same thing, as had my mom. I also had LOTS of nightmares in that room. and that much has never left me.

 

[nw909]

Thank god I usually wake up facing my wall, I seriously wouldn't want to see figures shifting around my room, I probably would too.

Heh, when it happened I closed my eyes right away, felt around for my T.V. controller and turned it on to a comedy channel, then slowly relaxed untill I could move again.

 

[qckbeam]

My sleep paralysis experience was just like everyone elses, terrifying. I was awake, but could not move anything except my eyes, and I couldn't close them. I didn't see anything scary at first but I heard footsteps, and what sounded like muffled laughing and screaming directly next to my ear. I then saw the door to my room creak open slowly (think of any classic horror film, complete with creak sound effect) and right behind it, just standing there, was the most horrible looking thing I could possible imagine. It reminded me of Pennywise, but it looked nothing like him. It was dark and shadowy, and only parts of it would sort of pop in and out of view. Yet every time it popped into view it was different than before. It did have long black hair, a painted face, no eyes just two black holes, and red, sharp teeth. There was the normal whispering sound, and a sensation of being struck by heavy wind and having your breath taken away so that you are trying to breath but can't take in any air. That's all I remember, it was a horrible, totally awful experience.

Also, sometimes if I try hard enough when I'm on the brink of sleep while the mind shuts down, I can make myself hear noises or whispers if I want to. For example, I once laid down to sleep after listening to a song I liked. I kept playing it over and over in my head while I drifted in and out. Right before I fell asleep, the song actually played for real, as in I could hear it as if a speaker was right at my ear drums. It jolted me out of sleep and scared me to death for a second. I simply laughed that one off. I've had that happen a few times with songs, but also once or twice with extremly creepy whispers or screams which end up keeping me awake.

I've had a daytime halucination before as well (a very brief one). It scared the shit out of me and I hate to even think of it. It feels like you have slipped into another place where something just isn't quite right. Everything looks the same, it sounds the same, but you just know that something has changed. It's only after the spell passes that you come to grips with just how crazy that was. It's like a waking dream; no matter how twisted the experience, it seems rational right up until the end. Depending on what happens it can be the most horrible, mind bending thing. Mine was twisted, I stepped through a mirror that doesn't even exist in my house and came out on in this scary place. Things happened there that I can't quite remember, but it was horrible. Thing is, I do know it was a thousand times more vivid than any dream, but still very dreamlike in retrospect. When I snapped out of it I was in my living room holding the remote control to the DVD player. Reality came back to me and I remembered that I was going to watch a film. The halucination had me in the kitchen getting food and walking into the dining room. I knew that in reality I hadn't gone into the kitchen yet, I was just about to though when it happened. That's what really screwed with my mind; the kitchen and the dining room were 100% real even in retrospect, just like real memories. But they were not, I know that. That really does a number on your mind let me tell you.

All this talk makes me think that it must be awful to be a schizophrenic, to make matters worse I'm about to go to bed, and I think I just heard a muffled sound outside my door

I hate sleeping.

EDIT: Dear god I sound like a total nutcase. I'm not though, honest. Turns our the muffled noise outside my door was my dad calling me, so that's a good sign

 

[A2597]

heh, I've woken up in a start, usually violent. when I say nightmares, I mean nightmares. dad and my sister are the only ones that can relate, as they have the same kind. always violent, always scary as can be....and none of us go down without a fight.

meaning we wake up with adrenaline pumping and fist swinging... Allthough, my sisters says she hasn't done that since she got married.
