Scissors, the most mysterious thing Options

[Suesterrx]

i saw a topic here and it was about ghosts.

well i was wondering if anyone got the scissors before?

scissors is when at night u wake up and u cant move ANYTHING except for ur mouth and face. and then ppl say "ghosts hold u down to ur bed" and u start seeing these stuff like visions/evil babys/ghosts/devils and u hear scary things like deep laughs screams wind chimes and stuff.

i never got one but i kno ppl who gots..

and im scared

[sophie_007]

OMFG thats so scray..i dunno ne one that experienced it..wow..augh..gonna b scared tonite =/

*rolls her eyes* Never had it, never known anyone who has. My guess is that it's something similar to a Charley Horse, but painfree (you didn't say anything about pain) and all over... Or it could just be you waking up and not yet having full control of your body, where your nerves are 'asleep' and haven't yet ordered the synapses to fire yet.

i never got it, but it sounds scary, like something from a horror movie.

[imafreakinazn]

hrumph. that happened to me once. i HIGHLY doubt it was ghosts tho. it was kinda fun feeling paralyzed for a sec.

[silver-rain]

wow, that sounds scary. hmm, that's never happened to me before.

[tsohg]

I also forgot to post the cure.. hehe

I have this problem all the time.. If you get this this is sleep paralysis.. Your thinking sub conscioulsy but you see everything.. You are still dreaming and seeing but without moving. This is the exact opposite of sleepwalking. The loud ringing is just your mind waking up but your body is still getting full rest..

THE CURE!!

Get alot of sleep and if this problem still happen again do this..

YOu can still control your thought and your face so close your eyes and repeat in your mind wake up.. wake up.. wake up.. and you will wake up soon enough.. As for the ghost explanations.. your body is just hallucinating so dont worry..

A profesinal opinion:
No need to lose any sleep over this — your doctor is right that what you describe is normal and not dangerous. When you're snoozing and you move into REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, the deepest part of the sleep cycle, your body becomes largely disconnected from your brain — this is why we don't hurt ourselves or our bed-mates during active dreams. Sometimes, the mind disconnects too early or too late from the body, leaving you unable to move voluntarily. This temporary condition is called sleep paralysis, and it usually subsides after a minute or two.

Though sleep paralysis is harmless, it can be terrifying, especially if you don't know what's happening to you. Someone experiencing an episode may have hallucinations, or have the feeling that someone is in the room or sitting on his/her chest. Hearing and smell can also be involved, as can the feeling of floating or flying. Sleep paralysis is also common — so common that many different cultures have their own names and stories associated with the condition:

Newfoundland An "old hag" with supernatural powers was thought to sit on the sleeper's chest and cause paralysis.

West Indies
A "kokma" or ghost baby was thought to jump on the chest of the sleeper and attack his/her throat.

China
"Ggui ya" or pressure applied by a ghost was thought to be responsible for paralyzing the sleeper.
