This was just posted in another thread, FWIW.
--------------------------------------
To give it a bit more detail. Ive dealt with sleep paralysis and such all my life. It wasnt until I started researching that those with sleep paralysis issues also potentially may be able to more easily access the other side/OOBE/Astral Projex'n/etc that I started putting more thought into the funny feeling Id always get a couple - few hrs before experiencing sleep paralysis. In very simplified terms, the "funny feeling" Id get could be described as a kinda sorta restless legs feeling. Usually I just wanted to(and always did/was able to, shake that restless legs feeling by moving around suddenly and basically shaking it off).
Well after said research above, I decided to let/encourage the RL's to progress/increase. From there, it transferred/increased into a very strange funny feeling in the center of my spine. At that point, I couldnt work up the nerve to take it any further. The same things/sequence of feelings/etc occurred the very next night, and I took/pushed it just a slight bit further before chickening out once again, mainly due to fear of the unknown, along with a hunch/instinct that what I could be stepping into may not necessarily be downright evil, but that there damn sure wasnt no welcoming/good vibes either.
So on the 3rd night, once again, same thing. And this time, I said FUCK IT! Whatevers out there, for better or worse, I may as well go head and see what its all about. As each time before, it started with restless leg feeling which I focused on/laid still to allow it to progress to the tingly funny center-of-spine feeling. Please bear with me, this is horrendously difficult to describe & Im doin my best! So now I'd reached the point where I'd usually have chickened out and as said, this time decided to take it all the way. So I "focused"/"pushed"/etc fully on the tingly spine feeling and.. like, fuck idk... like, a astral/inter-dimensional tunnel formed, with the tunnel entrance beginning at the center of my spine where the funny feeling was. And my.. "being"(?)/"soul"(?) was partially sucked in the/my spine tunnel & partially me voluntarily entering said tunnel. At this point, the notion of time ceased to exist completely. As I traveled through the tunnel, I cant really recall any G-forces so to speak but there may've been some. After travelling through the tunnel(remember - theres no such thing as "time" at this point), it emptied out into an infinite nothingness/darkness - with Darth Satan's bodyless-head smiling at me trying to speak to me in some crazy ass non-human/earthly language. I didnt pay much attention to what he had to say as at that I began struggling with all my might to get back to my body.
Thank god I was able to struggle hard enough to get back to my body... where I then laid paralyzed for 10-15min straight, screaming at the top of my lungs for one of my family members to come help(which of course, noone did) as everyones doors were shut along with it being 3am/everyone dead asleep.
The eeriest part of all, as I was brushing my teeth the next morning, my brother told me a crazy dream he had - in which him and my mom were standing over me as I was screaming and with eyes that were solid black. AND HE TOLD ME ABOUT HIS DREAM BEFORE I HAD GOTTEN THE CHANCE TO TELL HIM MY EXPERIENCE THE NIGHT BEFORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Take this for what you what ya will, Im just another dude on the internet. And to add, no I absolutely dont believe it has to do with me having a evil soul deep down or anything of that sort. Aside from a few bad decisions, I like to think I'm atleast a half decent human being. I think it was just that I stepped out into the other side, and that once I voluntarily entered the tunnel, I was in "their" house and had no control what entity(s) I came into contact with/was or was not approached by...
SOrry for the long winded reply. Just... that was hands down the most insane daggum shit I ever seen't my entire life. FWIW Ive been a believer LONG before this occurred. And without intending to start any religion discussion, this experience hasnt so much shaken my belief as made me think things are a bit more complex than the bible(or your chosen religion) makes them out to be..
Have you had your thyroid levels checked?
It is but a small gland that if things are upset causes all kind of problems as it helps other glands etc. to not function correctly.
My neighbor is a retired county nurse and also worked as the school nurse. As we sat one evening over a glass of wine I was bitching about how I wasn't sleeping right and my get up and go had got up and went among other things.
She got on me then to have tests done on my thyroid as hypothyriodism is common in our area. Something in the water or your diet, I don't know
I took Nurse Cratchet's advice and had those test run and she was right.
I now take a little pill each morning and a whole lot of my bitching and complaining is over.
I wish I had had that advice years ago as I now sleep better and feel so much better.
Hyper or hypo thyroid can fuck a lot of things up and it doesn't take much to correct it.
I think it is a common problem that is overlooked by a lot of Drs.
Worked for me. FM
Thanks, Mike, I wake up 3-5 times every night. Ive written it off to pain, and occasionally take some pain meds just to get a good nights sleep. I think Ill look into this.
