sleep paralysis.

It's mostly sleep-paralysis, unless the 'victim' experience something more, like seeing a ghostly figure yet can't move.

sleep paralysis and ghost pressings are very similar but are different.

it is easy to confuse the two as some ghost pressings are in fact sleep paralysis

as i said it's hard to differentiate, however sleep paralysis is often caused by exhaustion of the mind and body.

ghost pressings on the other hand may have these few characteristics:

1- re-occurs frequently despite a person being mentally and physically fit (not stressed/fatigued)

2- location or time based. if you have slept in many different places but only experience the pressing at a certain place consistently, then there's a high chance of ghost pressing.

3- a few people experience it at the same time

4- the item in the room you've slept in has changed when you wake up, like somethings not where you last placed them etc etc.

regardless it's commonly said that if you want to avoid these pressings, simply sleep sideways or put a pillow on your chest.

personally i have experienced a "pressing" before.

that time i was slacking off during a camp which i helped organize. it's hard to say if it was a pressing or sleep paralysis due to me being super tired. What happened was i slept in my friends car beside the drivers seat. it was during the day time, the sun was bright and sunny. i "woke up" and could not move, i could hear loud buddhist chanting. i could look around but could not move nor speak (i didn't even bother to try and speak if i remember correctly coz i know the characteristics of sleep paralysis/pressings). i remembered that i told myself that i needed to wake up constantly. then after a short moment i woke up. looked around. nothings changed. no more buddhist chanting. i can hear the participants of the camp making noise. it's still sunny. so i did the smart thing and go back to sleep! lol.

anyway the camp site is in a temple in klang, it has 2-3 cemeteries surrounding it and every now and then we can hear a siren coz a hospital is somewhere along the road i think. i've not heard of any "hauntings" in the temple yet and have conducted "camps" there for a few years. no problem.

Basically your soul is not completely out from the 2nd or 3rd or 4th level dream yet so thats why u still cant move..you need to invent a better kick to wake urself up

on a more serious note, i experienced it many times and would rather say that i'm able to control it from happening LOL its like the few moments before your body gets heavy, I'd fight it back with my mind..seriously

and hello btw Eguy 

Interesting thread, I've seen those strange things too actually.

Some of my experience:



About the pressing while sleep, I noticed that happens couple of times to me.

The extremest I've felt is when sleeping alone.

want to pull that locked door and get out...

pulled already but still in bed?

...

*repeat lines till I'm totally out*

Sometimes it come with strange voices.. the latest is when coldness catching my bones(almost died on this one y'know)

I personally suggest sleeping within vast neighborhood.
