Strange experiences

Well, I figure this is the forum to ask this type of stuff in so here it goes.

Ok, well since about 5th grade, I've been having strange experiences.

This is the first one.

Okay, so one night i was sitting on my couch reading a book, everyone else was asleep. I was in 5th grade, but anyway, I got cold so I decided to go to my room to get a blanket, When I got to the room I felt something push my back really hard, I was like whatever at first, then I grabbed my blanket off of my bed and I felt it again, but this time it pushed me down. What the hell?? i thought, I went back to the couch and continued reading. A little bit later I looked into the hallway and saw a shadow on the wall, It looked like it had on a trench coat, a hook like a pirate and a top hat, I looked away and looked back and it was gone. I forgot about it, a little while later I started playing a gameboy and I kept hearing my name whispered. It wasn't a far away whipser. Felt like it was inside my head kind of I heard it about three times.

From that time on I started having weird dreams, Like this one, I would wake up in my bed, i would feel heavy vibrations, and I was very stiff, I couldn't move, and If I tried to scream I would screech and wouldn't get the word out. And I look at the end of my bed and see a huge black figure, and when i wake up I feel very scared, and chills run down my spine and shit. I've had this happen about 7 times since that night, im in tenth grade now.

What do you think it is?

There was another dream, in the dream I was about 5 years old(in real life i was in 7th grade) I walked into the living room and at the front door I see the black figure again!!! in the dream the door was open, and the screen door was closed, my whole family was sitting in the living room, they were laughing at me when i tryed to tell them, When i woke up, i felt the prescense again.

I've only had that dream once before.

Another one was where the firgure would drag me across the floor into my old room and I would wake up in my bed feeling that cold, shock throughout my body.

i would like an explanation!!! haha.

Shit is weird, i feel the chills right now, everytime i talk or think or in this case type about it, I get the chills again.

Ok, first of all:

If something push my back really hard, I wouldn't be like whatever, I probably would be searching the whole house to find out who is there. But, ok, maybe it was my "imagination", but if it push me down, I mean come on! search the house or wake up your parents.

Secondly:

It is very probably that some people are just more sensitive than others about this things, I say this based on a TV program I saw once, where they explained that this sesitivity is in our genes in different degrees. You probably are very sensitive (assuming that you are not lying of course).

P.S: Oh, by the way, whether real or not, nice history Razz

I'm not a doctor, and this is not a diagnosis, but what you are describing sounds to me like sleep paralysis. It's an uncommon but well documented sleep disorder. I don't think there are any dangers to sleep paralysis sufferers other than the fact that episodes can be disturbing and frightening. I'm not sure if there's a treatment, but it's probably nice for sufferers to know that they aren't alone and that there's nothing wrong with them. I have a feeling that your first experience was also hypnogogic (i.e. not real) which explains why your response was a little irrational and the fact that you think you observed a boogyman in your room! mHere's the wikipedia entry:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_paralysis

If you want the dreams to stop or if you want more information, you should talk to your physician. Otherwise, I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Often times, when people are experiencing some sort of pathology or disorder that they aren't familiar with, particularly a psychological one, they can feel like they are going crazy. I can imagine that this would especially be the case for disorders involving convincing hallucinations. In many cases, people feel better as soon as they learn what their condition is and why it's affecting them the way that it is. It's different for people to feel like they have a disease or clinical condition versus feeling like something is wrong with them. It's less personal and less frightening. It's like turning the light on and finding out that the boogeyman at your window is just some twigs scratching in the wind. Also, having a condition or a disease doesn't mean that something is "wrong" with a person. It just means that there's something that could be working better or needs to be dealt with as a health or happiness issue. It doesn't mean something is fundamentally wrong with that person. Many people go on to lead healthy and happy lives in spite of and even because of some particular disease or illness.

In the case of people with sleep paralysis, there really isn't anything wrong with them. They are just having dreams at inappropriate times. Everyone on Earth experiences paralysis when they dream. People with the condition just aren't able to wake up fully from certain disturbing dreams.

what would be fundamentally wrong?
