Body goes numb and I can't move

Sometimes when I drift off to sleep, I feel my body freeze and numb. I cant scream and I cant move. It's like somebody or something takes over my body and I cant fight it. Then, I can feel this sense of fear and terror come over me. This doesnt happen to me often, maybe once every three months or so. I feel like its something paranormal, and im afraid it might get worse. Please help me with whatever advice you have. Thanks.

I'd say its because you go into shock...that happens to me a lot and I cant move...
You can ask your local doctor, but sometimes it can be a trance, or a sort of dream like state...

If you look up in google, I wouldnt say its a paranormal thing unless there are other symptoms, but that happens to me so yeah...well hope you find out but could be a shock like trance state!

You might have gone through sleep paralysis. I think thats definitely what you're going through at least. It's normal, nothing paranormal about it, so don't worry. It happens to lots of people.

I think it might be paranormal because my boyfriend told me that when he hugged me right after it happened the last time, he felt his whole arm ice cold on my side of the bed. Also, the last time it happened I wasnt trying to fight it when it happened right away, because I knew what was going to happen. So, I just laid there. But then, when it was going away, I did try to scream and move to tell my boyfriend what had happened, and then it came back as if it knew that I was trying to fight it.

That is the wierdest thing I've ever heard of? If it really worries you get a priest to come and bless your house and room. Im not that into the paranormal but it sounds freaky.

thanks that's a better advice than drinking orange juice forever!!

I agree with andyburton, if it is some sort of bacteria it could be dangerous for your health, if you dont go to a doctor you could become very sick...you need to stop worrying about paranormal at least long enought to go to the doctor...or until you realize paranormal doesnt really mean anything.

Best to see your Doctor for an accurate diagnosis and treatment...Good luck !!

I remember sleeping and then falling in my dream and I felt this strange overwhelming feeling and I was awake but couldn't move my body. I think it might be sleep paralysis.

it could be sleep paralysis but it also sounds a bit like epilepsy because that is a classic sign of a simple partial epileptic fit, but really you should go to a doctor to get some tests and be diagnosed correctly.

Sounds like text book sleep paralysis. I have it and so do thousands of others. To be sure you can consult a sleep disorder clinic. Check that out before you set your mind on it being paranormal.

How could it be sleep paralysis if her boyfriend felt a cold touch too.

I heard of this in mexico they say that the death gets on top of you and that you cant move or scream that thy feel like somebody is on top of them and they say that if you curse him out it would get of you I never believed it but what you have said its exactly what I heard that it feels when the death gets on top of you but I dont know I nevered experienced it but I heard of it from plrenty of people in mexico but you could try cursing him out whent that happens and see if it works.

f*ck no!!
