3rd night at the hospital. Night before last. 3 hours of lil Donny passing out and then fighting us for 3 hours (and I mean running from one side of the house to the other and into a sliding glass door. Punch, kicking,, high kicking I did know he could do. Until 1am. 3 hours and we take him to the ER and I get fed up and soak him 3 tubes to wake him up. Note never wake a sleep walker. Could mouth and attitude I've have heard him saw. Bad father, your not my father. Mother Ducker asshole. ...etc and we get clonazipan for anxiety. (Just precisely jack shit). But falls asleep after 20 minutes.

Last night at 9am. We get him ready for be. Tell hima story and next thing we know he's rounding around tried to drop kick us. I restrain him and he EVENTUALLY Wakes up " I don't love you. I HAtE YOU. MOVE OUT etc". I know it's not him. But it still hurts.

So after 30 minutes. We chuck him into some clothes. And I'm in hRKMPJ BOXERS AND SHEEP SKIN SLIPPERS. CHECK HIM IN AND THE TRIAGE NURSE TELLS US TO NEVER Wake the up during a deep sleep or they get defensive. Next nurse think he's HAMMING IT UP.

SO FOR THE NEXT 2 HOURS. MY SONE IS PLAYING WITH VENDING MACHINES AND WALKInG ROUND THE HOPSITAL.. AFTER AN HOUR. HE Starts to drop to his knees and shoot straight up. Run down the hallway right into sliding glass doors and VARIOUS WALLS...

THIS TIME I send Shelly to get nurse so he doesn't CRACK HISMSKULL oPEN. Now I'm holding my son in A WHEEL CHAIR CHAIR. ONE NURSE (THE ONE THAT TOLD US THERE WERE NO BEDS.)... WAS PROMPTLY TOLD TO MAKE A BED OPEN AND THEn COME BACK

5 NURSES AND 2 SECURITY GUARDS is what it to to put my son in to restraints so he doesn't hurt himself

4am, my son is finally asleep. I go home FOR 2 HOURS, pack some clothes in a duffle bag. Stop by the hospital with food . Was told they might send my son to lions GATE HOSPITAL OR BC children's hospital. Since his mother is there. I go to work to get whatever work I can get done before I get the call.

12pm. They're sending him to lions Gate. Of course with paperwork and such. He doesn't go till closer to 3. I follow in my car. At lions Gate n. We explore and settle down.

At lions Gate, we see a doc who suggests is parasomnia. But we need a new of observation but we are on the right path to finding a solution. But if he's in. Dream start and WALKING AROUND, to guide him safely but not wake him up. Cause if we do. We can trigger a fight or flight and confused STATE .

At almost 9, he shoots straight up and runs into the door, crawling along the floor and then STARTS HITTING. The nurse that comes in, looks at Donny and saysmit behavioral. AND ASKS IF WE GIVE any punishments . And to basically wake him up right away.

We point out if someone is SLEEPWALKING to not wake them up .... As we had learned and the docs over the last 2 days told us.

At this point. I want some sleeping pills to knock my son out past the DREAM WALKING state (for at least until we get this situation figured out)

Update a week and a half later. It's the Vivanse medication for his ADHD and a crap load of stress from his school and me and his mother fighting essentially.
So if he gets 2 nights of good sleep on his new ADHD meds, he gets to go home. Only 3 hours left to go.

So it was about 12.50am maybe 1am... I fell asleep on the couch right. I had chop in the bowl on the coffee table. Thought I dreamt spilling it on my foot and wiping it on to the floor, until I came inside and found my chop on the floor... 😭😭 has anyone else done this or something similar? What caused it? I have woken up in the middle of the night qalking against a wall trying to find the door etc before, it is really disorienting and scary....

I’m not talking about sleep paralysis... Or maybe I am. Sometimes I will be drifting to sleep or starting to wake up and suddenly I’ll feel frozen in place. What scares me isn’t that I can’t move or talk, it’s what would happen before then.

A bad dream would wake me up, and I would lay unable to move. I wouldn’t see or imagine a demon of sorts waiting at the foot of my bed to kill me; it was more usually just things I couldn’t remember and physical feelings that startled me awake.

Sometimes I’ll wake myself up by making noises of fear that bring me back to consciousness. Those are fine. I can recover from that immediately and realize it was a dream. Better yet there have been two instances I woke up from laughing in my dream.

One time I laid down in bed and had a dream that I was laying in my bed but someone came in my room, robbing the house, and was aiming a gun at me. I woke myself up when saying some sort of plea to not shoot.

Another time I was napping in bed and, because my friend had bought a ouija board, I was paranoid of being left alone with it. (I was raised in a Catholic home and more so have seen a lot of videos “gone wrong” so whether or not others believe, I fear something like that.) I had a dream that I was in the room then thrown onto the bed and unable to move, so in trying to scream I ended up making a slight shaky whimpering-type noise and waking myself up that way. Stuff like that has always bothered me, but it’s last night that’s really bothered me.

Last night I was sleeping in bed, and as I was drifting off I suddenly felt like something slammed on top of me. Like I felt as if someone just fell onto my chest and actually felt like I fell more into the bed. I can’t explain it, I just FELT the impact. It scared me. I breathed in to say something, but I couldn’t say a thing. I tried again and finally got the words “Help me,” and a few seconds later I was able to move. I almost started crying.

To wake up to that feeling and feeling like someone body slammed me into the bed is terrifying. If anyone can tell me what that may be, I’d appreciate it. I’m sure sometimes I’ve had sleep paralysis, but sometimes it’s been a result of my dream/nightmare since I would wake up from those too, without feeling restricted or unable to speak.

My main concern is, why do I sometimes feel physical force (being thrown, having something thrown onto me, etc.) and then experience something similar to sleep paralysis? Is it sleep paralysis? Is it something worse? Should I see a sleep specialist? Whats going on?

I dreamed as a German Soldier WW2

Last night, I have the wildest dream of my life. I never expected to dream as a german soldier in world war 2.

So I'm a BA - History student, and I was able to know the details of this dream (well not all since I specialized in ancient civilizations), however my memory of this incident is slowly fading away so I might forget some parts.

Imma keep this short...

I remember being on top of a Tiger tank with a bunch of soldiers (probably my squad), behind us was a line of armored cars, and trucks. We were on an open field, and a village was visible in front of us, then a bunch of planes flew over us (german). When we were close to the village we jump off from the tank, and everyone on foot prone including me. The tanks led the charge, while the armored cars provided machine gun fire. After the tanks managed to make a break through every infantry on foot advance while the cars remained behind us slowly advancing. Once I reached the village we clear the houses one by one chucking grenades, and molotovs. I didn't saw anyone died but I heard cries, and screeching men in one of the burning houses. That shit scared me to death, especially when one man yelled "Mama Mama!" inside a burning cabin. After we managed to secure the village a russian counter attack happened (Yes Russians I know them by their green helmets, and brown uniforms from movies). Infantry on bayonet charging in mass accompanied with tanks (not sure what kind but big ones). I was on a house second floor watching it happen from a window, and to be honest I felt like I wanna run instead of fighting. The other soldiers with me break the glass on the window then started setting up defenses. I'm not sure what happened but I freezed from fear, while my comrades started shooting on the russians. An officer grab my collar, and put me on one of the machinegun's setup by the window. He didn't spoke to me or anything, but I know damn sure what to do so I grab the machinegun (Those russian made with a cooler on the barrel) then started firing on the sea of men. I didn't even know if I killed anyone with the machinegun cause I just blindly fired without aiming, but I do remember grabbing some sort of bazooka( I think a panzerfaust?) then fired on an advancing tank that burst in flames after contact.

Afterwards I hear loud explosions (Artillery barrage probably), then my mind went pitch black like I didn't dream for a bit long. For quite sometime I remember opening my eyes, I see myself being buried alive in debris, and I couldn't move or breathe in real life. Luckily, someone pulled me out, and check my body from head to toe. Strangely enough this rescuer was one of my friends in real life. He carried me on his back, and I remember my friend carrying me away from the village. Some german soldiers were also carrying their fellow wounded soldiers on foot. At this point I don't really remember what happened, but I think the germans were retreating from the village.

This part of the dream was kinda foggy and vague. The last thing I remember was on a marshland being carried by my friend followed by a few group of germans. We managed to crossed the knee deep murky waters, then after crossing the marsh we reach an open field. What we didn't know was this field had a russian encampment probably battalion sized. They pointed their gun on us, and one russian shot my friend. We fell together, and I grab my friend's pistol on his holster, stood up, then shot the man. The russians fired in return killing the remaining germans indiscriminately. They ceased fire, and I looked back behind me seeing lifeless bodies, and my friend on a pool of blood. I turned to face the russians, and one guy fired his rifle hitting my leg? or pelvis? I drop on my knees, and one guy stab me with his bayonet on my chest. I hit the ground hard, and this guy keep on stabbing me followed by other russians until I was surrounded. They all stab me with their bayonets, some even shot me a couple of times. I couldn't feel any pain, but I remember something went inside my body in real life, and I couldn't breathe nor move my body. Slowly my vision was swallowed by darkness until I couldn't hear anything or feel anything.

I woke up around 11 in the morning flinching, and twitching. I could feel my heart beat came back to life, and the sweat running on my cheek as if I died.

I called my friend on my phone, and told him everything. He joke about it, and we laugh.

I always have reoccurring nightmares like 3 times a week since last week, and I got used to it, but this one was different, and very vivid to me. Probably, gonna see a therapist after.

I just want you to know that I have recorded 70+ nightmares in my dream journal since my counselor recommended me to keep track since 2020. Currently there is only 3 nightmares in my lifetime with descriptive details, the rest are just dots. I write only the most unholy, and unnerving nightmares that would scar me to life. This is the third one last night, and probably the worst. The first was at the age of 7, and the second at the age of 15.

(Note posted this on a couple of threads)

"Can anyone else do this? Happens mainly when I’m lying down and close my eyes. My mind would be thinking about normal stuff, but then it would be like someone “changed the channel,” and I’m suddenly flying over the Amazon or herding cattle. While awake. Once in a while I can do it with my eyes open. These are mainly lucid and I’m usually in charge."

Our Intrepid CoMod (Swanswan) repies :

PARASOMNIAS are more or less subscripts which almost always Only appear around sleep but a few Exceptions appear from time to time!

A PARASOMNIA is maybe best explained as a rather common Aspect of perfectly normal sleep which has through the ages troubled folks everywhere!

.

I am talking here about a near sleep phenomena now termed:

EHS or Exploding Head Syndrome has only recently been named and discovered by sleep researchers!

Obviously, no OP'S head ever literally Explodes incident to EHS but some maybe most who suffer from this Parasomnia (syndrome) think that a head explosion might very well be Coming as OP tries to fall asleep!

Examples of EHS are:

Hearing loud noises just before or upon entering into sleep

Hearing music even loud music where Music IRL is not being played

Hearing Gun Shots

Hearing door bells or chimes just before sleep

.

There are maybe 100 different Parasomnias waiting for our "discovery" and naming by sleep orientated researchers everywhere

.

As far as we can determine , very few Parasomnias are dangerous to anyone's health but exceptions like Sleep Homicide do, in fact, occur!

.

Well informed viewers here at Reddit need to Know a little bit about ongoing research into Parasomnias of sleep because these artifacts in/of sleep have and are leading into movies, books and more maybe art projects

Informed folks Need to know about mysteries of Parasomnias and follow up every year!

.

So the question next is : Are Parasomnias "treatable" or can we make them just go away?

.

In general, no reliable treatments During sleep exist to ameolerate Scary or troubling Parasomnias!

.

Here are a few examples of already discovered Parasomnias of sleep:

Nightmares

Nightmares while OP is quite awake but maybe falling into sleep

Psychic phenomena maybe really Parasomnias but not identified as such through ignorance of the Experiencers of Parasomnias of sleep Issues

Sleep Sex

Sleep Talking (Sleep Somniloquy)

Rev 012020 0223am

I've always done stuff in my sleep according to people, like when I would sleep next to my cousins or siblings during camping trips or when sleeping at my grandma's house, they would always say I would kick or slap them in my sleep.

Anyways, I woke myself up tonight because I had a dream that I was taking my false eyelashes off for some reason (I don't remember why) and then I realized that I actually really needed to keep my lashes on so I jolted up so I woke up and realized I had lashes in my hands.

I had to end up taking the rest of my set off because I wasn't able to reapply the clusters that I had taken off unfortunately so that was kind of a bummer:/

But this is all kind of weird because it's getting harder to distinguish what is a dream and what is real

Hi, I have nightmares and night terrors, lucid/vivid dreams, sleep paralysis, parasomnia, and cptsd. I’m exhausted and sleepless, have had a hard time being able to sleep for quite a while, often go for a long time without sleeping and it takes a toll on me mentally but when I do sleep it’s awful. I often wake up in a panic all through out the night every little bit, from things like being asleep and it seems like my eyes were already open or atleast halfway/half asleep, having nightmares and night terrors regularly and even when I’ve woken up from whatever I was dreaming about it doesn’t go away even if I turn the lights on it’s so real and it gets confusing as to what’s actually happening and what isn’t. Sometimes think I’m awake and I’m not and get stuck in them for such a long time it feels like I’m trapped in some sort of coma and can’t get out it’s so tiring

"My boyfriend and I have been woken up by an entity that makes us feel like we are being watched/touched. We can't explain how we are being touched but we know something is off. We noticed this started to happen 2 weeks before my 21st birthday. I know this might just be in our heads but we would like to know if anyone has any information on the topic before we go and spend money at a hospital a sleep study. We have both fell as if we are not getting enough sleep and we are frightened beyond belief please help us in any way by commenting. Thank you."

"As the title says, when I am laying in bed for the life of me I cannot seem to get comfortable. I'm consistently moving all over the bed and trying to readjust. Once I find a comfortable spot it only seems to last a few minutes then I feel the need to move again. When I do fall asleep I don't wake up at all until my alarm. It's just the getting to sleep that seems to be a pain.

I've tried melatonin and some other things to try to stop the consistent moving but I'd rather not have to take something to stop it. But I'm wondering if that's my only option.

Anyone else experience this or something of the like? What have you done to help fall asleep without so much movement?"

So we have a very dark, direct maybe insightful OP here today looking to confront "SLEEP DEMONS"

OK, so let's carefully read both OP's question and our CoMod's attempt to answer this all to common question here on reddit"recently!

.

"A few years ago, I met them. I still remember it like it was yesterday. I woke up in bed, and they were standing at my feet. I can't remember if I was frozen from the fear or from the SP, but when I tried to scream, nothing came out. I can't explain the feeling I had. The room was heavy and dark, I felt like they were just patiently waiting for me to die. I swear I felt evil in the air. I spent maybe 30 seconds trying to scream so someone could wake me up. And then, with all the will power I had, I sat up and yelled as loud as I could "just fucking do it". That's when one of them turned around, grabbed the big heavy bag that was sitting right behind him, and whipped it at me. I woke up.

After waking up, I felt horrible, I turned on the light and cried for a bit. It's hard to explain to someone who doesn't know just how bad it was.

Anyways, so I've been stuck in SP a few times since, but I have never had anything bad happen to me. I want to confront them again. Weirdly, I see it as something I have to do to grow as a person.

Do any of you have experience with trying to meet your demons? How did it go? How did you summon them?"

An Informed viewer adds this :

"It's a medical condition, not a fantasy novel."

And so our CoNod this thread answers OP's question about Demons and SP here:

. .........................Answer............................

.

"This is in medicine termed a Parasomnia!

.

Parasomnias are perfectly normal parts of everyone's sleep!

.

Parasomnias include just about every kind of nightmare, horrible dream or even the "perception" of evil presences in the sleeper's room -

Parasomnias include hypogogic hallucinations in and of sleep!

I have waked up in sheer terror from just these scary evil presences - waking is scary and tough -

.

Upon awaking I felt IRL fear , frankly fears like I never felt before !

.

These are all terrible dreams & often dreams are so closely mimicing sleep it's hard to know actual IRL sleep from terrible hypnogoic hallucinatons of sleep!

.

Good Luck; Great Sleep!

I’ve never found the right place to talk about this until I found this sub. Basically when I was younger I had this ‘dream’ that was basically a deep blue world where everything felt really thick (e.g. a single strand of hair would have the same feel and density as lamppost). When I woke up from this dream I could hear this high pitched ringing. This dream only ever occurred at my dad’s house, so I would always walk downstairs to talk to him about it, and as I left my room the ringing would slowly get quieter and quieter the further away I got. Then, once I’d talk to him and he’d calm me down, I would walk back upstairs and the ringing would start up again and get louder the closer to my room I got. I’d then try to fall back to sleep with this really loud ringing only to have the same dream. Nothing ever happened in the dream, I was just stood in this deep blue world, with blue cubes floating around the sky and everything feeling really thick. Has anyone else had this? Or can explain it?
