Paranormal or not paranormal experience

[Deidre Asada 163]

I was wondering if any one can help me out on this situation I am currently dealing with I am not so sure on what is happening around me but its starting to get a little creepy.

 

It all starts at night time when ever I go to sleep when I am sleeping I always feel like some one is holding my hand and I know I locked my door every time I go to sleep so I don't know what could be causing this. Also at times when I am sleeping I can not move my body when ever I am still it feels like my whole body is paralysis and I cant moved at all after couple of minutes has pass.

 

And also this had happened to me lately but once when I had my body very still and was sleeping I felt my whole body being levitated I got so scared I didn't know what to do I started to move a lot so it could stop and eventually it did.

 

So if any one ever had any of these experience before please let me know what I am currently going through I am kinda nervous and afraid to go to sleep cause of it and I don't know if its paranormal or not.

Sounds like it might be sleep paralysis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_paralysis

 

It's actually somewhat common. Never happened to me, but it has happened to some of my friends.

As DashPony said, it's most likely sleep paralysis.

 

I have had it once and it was HORRIBLE. It felt like someone was pushing my chest and I was going to die.

 

Then my dog snapped me out of it by barking.

 

It all starts at night time when ever I go to sleep when I am sleeping I always feel like some one is holding my hand and I know I locked my door every time I go to sleep so I don't know what could be causing this.

 

Actually I have no idea what this handholding thing is, but other things seem like normal sleeping paralysis.

Yeah, sounds a lot like sleep paralysis. From what I understand, certain states that your brain enters while you sleep can give you a sensation of flying or levitating as well. It could be that you're just getting a creepy mash-up of all of the above.

 

I have experienced sleep paralysis myself, but only once...and I was so tired I just went back to sleep, without freaking out.

That attitude is never good. Least you know now it's normal and happens to a lot of people, so I'm sure it's not that bad IF it happens again.

I would get this checked out by a doctor. This would help with the fear and worry, I'd imagine.
