A person fell into a laughing gas addiction. It got so bad to the point where the only sleep the person got was up to 15 minute increments throughout the day. The persons sleep was so messed. It went on like this for several months.=/ ... Anyways... The person would fall into sleep in odd places. The toilet =) lol. Funny now but not at that time. Sitting on the couch while watching t.v. If people were in the living room. There was an extra creeping in the back.
Basically everything is like a bad intense acid trip. It was interesting but rather not go through that ever again

i stopped getting these thing after i stopped psychedelics, but i've had plenty of experiences with sleep paralyses and intense dreams, dreams that i couldn't wake from (by literally waking up, falling asleep again into the same fucked up dream, and then waking again, only to be unable to get up and move around, then falling back asleep again into the same dream, again until i had repeated said process several times and got mad in my dream and threw things around my house and subsequently being stabbed in the eye by my own brain; ya i dunno why), astral projection... (as far as i got out of my body, anyway)
lots of goofy stuff.

I used to have it almost every night. When I experience it, it's usually after having a vivid dream. I just get a sense of not being able to move at all. I usually can't even open my eyes, and i hear a very loud rushing noise, like extreme wind or water. The more i try to move the more intense it gets. So I just try to chill out and I come out of it. Then I try to stay awake as much as possible because if i immediately go back to sleep, I will go back into it.
Even after experiencing it multiple times, it still scares the hell out of me. I went to a doc about it and they tried to diagnose me with narcolepsy. I know why I have frequent sleep paralysis, it's because I take too long of naps during the day. 3 hour nap in the day = enough REM sleep. When I go to bed at night my brain says "I got enough REM sleep so I don't need to sleep" Brain does one thing and body does another. Brain wakes up but body stays asleep. Everyone has sleep paralysis, it keeps us from acting out our dreams, but sometimes we can wake up and the body doesn't know it needs to put a stop to sleep paralysis.
That's my take on it :P

Yeah when I was abusing speed and opiates it would commonly happen. NOT fun. Though I never had the halucogens only the actual paralysis, big buzzing noise and a intense vibration. Can only wiggle fingers a little bit, vision is disturbed and one time I witnessed a black hole open on my wall before waking up out of it
Seems like every ones S/P has come from drug use.

Mine is not from drug use. Unfortunately been sober for a while between 2 kids, college, and work...anyway. In the past 6 months it's happened twice. They were both similar. The first time I woke up to hearing someone say in an almost whisper "Look. It's her. It's her. Look. Hey, it's her" Which made me feel like two something's were in the room. I couldn't see anything in the room. The second time I could hear someone saying my name like they were trying to get my attention. I was scared to death both times. The second time I did some Kill Bill shit, I was like "wiggle your big toe" and tried to get my body moving. It took me a few minutes, but I had to go check the house, even though I knew what was going on. It just seems so real.

I've had a couple room mates who had it. They both lived in the same room in this kinda creepy old house that I used to live in (at different times though). Both were convinced it was a ghost and that the house was haunted. The second went went so far as to sleep in his truck for a while because he was freaked out over the "ghost".
Was never sure what to make of it. I never had any such problems in that house myself, but I always slept in a different bedroom.

Yeah, I've experienced it while initiating lucid dreams. Look up the WILD method and you'll see what I'm talking about. (Wake Induced Lucid Dreaming) Basically where you lie there with your eyes closed (usually after waking up in the middle of the night) and wait for your body to fall asleep while you're still conscious
For me I get the spins, and it feels like I'm spiraling into something, or like I'm falling. Sometimes I hear something faint in the distance where I'm not sure if it really happened or not like a door closing or a faint siren. I usually don't remember the last parts, because they're as I'm transferring into a dream.

I've had sleep paralysis a few times. It's a very interesting phenomenon. Beyond the actual paralysis and inevitable feeling of fear, it is very possible during this state to experience extremely realistic open and closed eye hallucinations. Although if you happen to believe in entities, some of these "hallucinations" could be realer than you might think.

I can wake myself up while I'm in a lucid dream and that's usually when it happens. I've never really liked it. I always feel like I'm hot and can't breath. I only hallucinated once. It was an audio one. It sound like some strange loud machinery.

I've only gotten this a handful of times.
The last time was about 4 years ago when I moved in with my dad. He left to go to work, and I was sleeping on the couch. I had an episode in which I felt a presence in the house and thought he was still there.
Lucid dreams and nightmares are better.

I remember one time when I was a kid, I woke up in the middle of the night and started seeing a human-like figure walking around my room. I tried to ask who it was (I thought it was my dad, at first), but it just kept walking around in a zig-zag pattern, each time getting closer to my bed. Eventually, I stopped seeing it, but I didn't dare to sleep for the rest of the night.
