I got your there here in my pants.

Sleep parlysis is like that, happened to me a couple times and I can remember it quite well still.

Yes! This explains it perfectly!

it's only happened to me once but oh god hopefully never again

The last time it happened I was laying down in bed and I remember seeing this incredibly tall figure standing out in the rec room (I have a basement bedroom) and I just kept trying my hardest to blink and shake so I would be able to do it but regardless of how hard I tried I was stuck. Fortunately I woke up a short time later before anything too crazy occurred, but I still get reminded of it sometimes when I'm about to go to bed, and it creeps me the **** out.

I never see the creatures everyone always talks about, nor am I even scared when it happens. It just feels like I did too many opiates and lost all function to move, so I just try to go back to sleep.

Maybe he was looking out the window?

yeah I think mine happened in high school and I had never heard of it before, so it scared the hell out of me. shadowy figure standing by my tv and then it turned and slowly walked to my bed. I just remember trying to scream or move my hands but couldn't. did not enjoy haha maybe now that I know about it it would be better but meh did it once don't need to again

I hear holding your breath will wake you up.

I have a question. I'm applying for jobs and one of the requirements on this one posting says "required language skills." Does anybody know what the **** that means? Do I have to be bilingual or do I just have to be good with words and grammar?
