I HATE the feeling of being awake and not moving. It has happened to me a few times, and it scares me. I will never forget when I was really young, maybe 5 or 6, I fell asleep in bed with my dad bc, like any kid, I had a terribly nightmare. I fell asleep to find myself awake, but not being able to move, so I panicked....then I felt as if I was being forced out of my body...I was under the bed....I sincerely thought I was dead..that I died...bc I could see through myself..I could see through my hands as I was violently trying to get back to my body....then I elevated above my bed..where I saw a black figure standing outside my parents bedroom starring at me. I looked down, to see my body. I panicked again..and then felt a pull back toward my body. I woke up gasping for breath...like I hadn't been breathing. I started screaming and crying. My dad stayed up with me until morning. I refused to go back to sleep.
It didnt happen again till I was a teenager...maybe 19? It happened in the living room this time, and I saw a figure, cloaked in black, with a skeletal face. I didn't feel fear this time, I was angry...I knew who he was and I wasn't going to go through it again. I chased him out of my house. I just remember getting so angry that I walked toward him, and pushed him out forcefully..felt the pull again, and woke up gasping for breath.
I have had more instances of sleeping and not being able to move, but no more out of body experiences. I hate it.
