Once I went into that state while I was sitting in my couch, I was sleepy as fuck. Then suddenly some chick came up behind me, took her arms around me and whispered cute things into my ear. A few moments later a friend of mine was infront of me and literally pushed me hard to the couch, I could feel the force of being pushed to the couch as well. I stood up and kinda fought him a little bit in the corner of the room and went back to the couch.
It was a strange experience, but nothing that can't be explained by how sleep paralysis works. Now, if we remove my friend and leave the chick that whispered into my ear... We got what we could call a ''spiritual experience'', but as we know now, it's nothing but a vague reasoning for something I couldn't explain if I didn't know about sleep paralysis.
Basicly it's a state where you're between falling asleep and being awake. You can dream while being 100% conscious but not able to move (in some intances). Where you start to walk around the room like I did some people would call it ''out of body experience'', but it's nothing else than a dream. The things in bold is also links to wikipedia articles. Click them.
Edit: @ Badweather: Not always. A friend of mine experienced it once. One of the most down to earth and mentally healthy guys that I know. I lived with him and 2 others for 2 years. He experienced it once. It wasn't during a stressful time either, but that it occurs more often in people that is stressed might be right tho'. (Edit 2: Just read your comment again, ''it usually occurs'' is different than ''it occurs when'', my bad.) |
