So... This literally happened right when I started to wake up... It was the strangest thing to ever happen. A combination of hearing voices, being paralyzed, and not being able to open my eyes... I was completely scared. So I had just had a strange dream about alien abductions for some reason and then I woke up... I knew I was awake. Then all of a sudden I felt a surge run through my body... It was a tingling feeling but it wasnt like where a body part is numb and unresponsive... It paralyzed me completely and the feeling went to my eyes and they felt as if they were being forced shut... Thats when it got really creepy, cause then I actually heard a voice in a deep, raspy tone say: "Go to sleep, Go to sleep, Go to sleep". It kept repeating itself and the voice used my name as well. I fought the urge to sleep cause I was like: "WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON"... I immediately attempted to sit up but I was still in a paralyzed state where I couldnt move... And my body still had that weird sensation... But I was able to sit up after multiple times of trying to move and I looked around trying to figure out what just happened... And no answer... Until now. I looked up "Hearing things when waking up"... There is something called sleep paralysis where when you sometimes wake up you can will be paralyzed and possibly hallucinate and hear things... Moral of the story is basically dont jump to conclusions of what you instantly think something may be... I know it sounds stupid but as it was all happening I seriously thought I was being abducted or something lol... I havent told my parents cause they'll freak out
No I was actually awake because I took the covers off of me and everything. Sleep paralysis is the best explanation because sometimes when people wake up you can hallucinate and hear things. My mom got these when she was younger except she saw spiders and snakes lol... Runs in the family?The simplest explanation is normally the most likely. Following the notion I'd say you were probably dreaming about waking up, and then you woke up.
This, or what's called a "hypnopompic" experience.Most likely lucid dreaming.
“A lucid dream is a type of dream in which the dreamer becomes aware that they are dreaming. During a lucid dream, the dreamer may gain some amount of control over the dream characters, narrative, or environment; however, this is not actually necessary for a dream to be described as lucid.”
I’ve had several lucid dreams, they are kinda freaky.

This, or what's called a "hypnopompic" experience.
Usually when we wake up we don't notice the transition between sleep and waking, but occasionally we do. When this occurs there's an overlap of awareness between the dream state and the waking state, and it can cause some very unnerving experiences as two levels of consciousness interplay.
There can be similar when falling asleep - this is called "hypnogogic".
I once dreamed that I was latterly was dying and when I woke up I knew someone had been sleeping next to me I figured it was my ex husband who had already diedYou probably WERE abducted!
Just sayin'.
What was in that salsa....catnip?Other night I was waiting for laundry to finish. Still had 30 minutes left on the washer. I wanted to go to bed. I ended up snacking on some chips and salsa while watching a show.
Well, later that night I had a chat with a fascinating cat (felis catus) who later stole my car and drove it cross country. Never found out why he drove cross country, my alarm woke me before I found out.
It had been in the fridge for a minute, tasted fine but maybe it began to ferment?What was in that salsa....catnip?
Sounds like it might have done.......just start to worry if you start to purr whilst watching the fishIt had been in the fridge for a minute, tasted fine but maybe it began to ferment?
