i have had many odd sleeping experiences over the past 6 months. at first i used to get terrified by them. i'd have out-of-body experiences, intense paralysis and very intense solitary nightmares.
since then i have come to know myself far better. i am now over most of these fears and can easily rise above them.
last night was the first time in a while that i have had an odd sleeping experience.
it was in the stage just when you are falling asleep. usually you slip out of consciousness without being aware of it and then BAM it's morning time. last night though, there was no transition. i was fully aware of the 'falling to sleep' stage and suddenly there was an extremely loud and intense ringing in my ears. for about 20 seconds i was paralysed and felt like i was being electrocuted. i suddenly had images flashing into my vision way too fast to comprehend. i managed to snap out of it and again tried to fall asleep. the ringing came back almost instantly and this time even more intense. i was fighting it. i felt like something was trying to take over. like how i imagine you would feel if agent smith had stuck his hand into your belly and possession was enveloping your head. it may sound hilarious now but the only image i can remember was george bush dancing in front of me like a monkey. that was probably my own ideas about what was going on getting involved and probably holds no relevance to anything.
i wasn't really phased by the experience at all as i am quite used to handling them by now.
it was odd though
