    Ex mental institute I believe.

    It absolutely was.
    I remember it from my youth.
    Scary place just an unerving feeling and cold when you are there.
    There's a movie on Netflix based on the asylum for anyone that would like to see it.

    Was a month ago I had gone to bed at about 11:30 pm, the alarm was set for early as my wife and I were due to travel the following morning. Was asleep for about 45 minutes and woke up as I could feel the sensation that someone was trying to pull me out of the bed to wake me up or something. Was a bit freaked as I never felt that sensation before or had such dream that I was aware of.

    About 20 mins later my phone started to ring, it was my sister telling me to urgently get over to the family home as my mother was very unwell. Long story short, my mother unfortunately passed away and was being taken to the hospital just as I arrived there. Only now that the dust has settled over the past while I have been thinking of that night, I know it sounds stupid but it felt like someone was warning me to get up and go.

    Another one for me springs to mind.
    Not very "scary" but freaks me out nonetheless..still does.
    So I use the library lots
    When I was about 21 I took out a book, when I opened it at home there was a piece of paper tucked in the middle, there was a small black and white cartoon on it, and handwritten on the back was my date of birth. Including the year.
    I still don't understand or know why that happened. So strange. I didn't think too much at the time(blissful youth), and didn't keep it unfortunately, book looking back I'm still confused about it. What are the chances!

    No, Sleep paralysis if fine, have got to it a good few times, once your aware you control "the demons" as it were and wait to get lucid, pulling yourself from your body to achieve either lucidity or astral projection. I projected once, but got stuck in the roof :pac:

    If you listen to jody whitely on youtube she can help get you ready for SP and lucid dreaming. Its a state I try to achieve regularly and im getting better at it.

    SP cant be dealt with easily if it becomes too much in many ways, trying to move a finger is the easiest, instead of trying to force your whole body out of bed! Think of uma therman......... Wiggle your big toe!

    Like methane release?
    Could have been animal eyes ?

    these were big lights - started off like traffic lights in three, then went into two horizontal ... not too sure what way they went after that as I was too busy trying to take photos. Hard to guess the size but they looked big even from 20 feet away

    I think that poster is getting confused with lucid dreaming rather than sleep paralysis.

    I have experienced some pretty far out SP experiences a few times although it is a few years now.

    Usually I am trying to get out of it by shouting at the wife next to me to wake her but I am not making any sound. I am desperately trying to wake up and scream but no sound.

    The last which must be about 3 years ago as we have moved house since was very vivid. At this stage I am conscious of the fact I am dreaming in my dream. I was floating up toward the ceiling in the bedroom and low and behold the usual evil darkness in the corner but I was calm as I knew it was a dream but still I am paralysed but not being able to shout or wake up.

    I had sleep paralysis a few times. Once I hallucinated a freaky nun/demon/devil yoke reaching down and pulling my wire. It took me about 60 seconds to get out of it. Swear to god this happened me and I was so freaked out for days after it I left the lamp on in my bed room. I was awake but couldn’t move. Still freaks me out thinking about it

    Freaked the crap out of me

    I am not

    Learning to lucid dream in the quickest and easiest way is to put yourself into sleep paralysis. Once there, your brain thinks your asleep, therefore initiates the lockdown that is SP. After that, there are methods used for entering dream states fully conscious.

    I was a college student in Sligo in early 90s we used to use rooms in it for lectures as the college expanded it was still in use as a hospital then. Met many a patient who landed into our lectures.

    Stayed there in its hotel form years later and just didn't feel comfortable with all the long empty corridors but had no negative experiences in it.

    It sounds like you were visited by a succubi. At least you didn't impregnate her. By the way, they don't give up their victims easily. Do you have many sex dreams? :D

    Was in a pub yesterday having dinner with family. Happened to look up at the bar and there was a guy, about 40 or so, leaning on the bar and he had the most unnerving expression I have ever seen in my life, and it was directed at me. He was grinning like a Cheshire cat from ear to ear, but what set this apart was the smile didn't go anywhere near his eyes. They were absolutely hate filled and malevolent and focused entirely on me. My neck hairs stood up, and before I could say anything to my family, its like a wire flipped back in his head, and his expression returned to normal, he paid for his pint and walked away...and gave me a little knowing glance as he did.


    Any other day I would just put it down to some creep or weirdo who was either on meds or fancied me or something but his eyes shook me to the core. Never saw anything like that on a human face.

    I’ve also experienced hyper-realistic waking dreams leading to sleep paralysis which involve visitation by succubi or other demons. In one example a malevolent entity with cruel empty eyes sat cross-legged on my chest, drawing sharp razors along my body as it leeched on my spirit energy. As I struggled frantically to escape I gained consciousness that I was dreaming, I could look around the room with my eyes but I could not move my body, all the while this monstrous and repugnant parasite was weighing down heavily on my chest so that I was struggling for air, actually coughing and spluttering but unable to move my limbs.Another time I was visited by a blonde succubus, very attractive face with pale skin, blue eyes, perky breasts (about 34DD), but with hind quarters and forearms of praying mantis. If she had not the insect limbs and gaze of utter hostility and contempt she would easily have been a ten. She pinned me to the bed with her sharp appendages and spines and as I was struggling it became apparent she was about to rape me with a large sexual appendage made of chitinous plates. How I struggled and struggled, but my body would not respond to ambition to move. This experience was extremely unpleasant. I did not ejaculate.

    Do you take drugs?

    Or surf a lot of Internet porn?

    Or both!

    Used to have nightmares in an ex's house. Every single night I slept there. Then something from the nightmares appeared in his own nightmare and the next day, in real life.

    Weird things kept happening until I decided to give things a nudge to split up. Like pricking my thumb three times in one day in three different geographical locations while doing completely different things .

    On 'pricking of thumbs - by definition - "an intuition or premonition about something; a sense of foreknowledge about a situation, condition, or set of circumstances."

    The same also occurs in a line of Shakespeare's Macbeth: "By the pricking of my thumbs, Something wicked this way comes."

    That kind of thing?
