Car crash victim trapped in 'coma' for 23 years was allegedly conscious...

The worst part of sleep paralysis is the horrible paranoia. Every time I wake up with it, even though I KNOW what is going on because it happens often to me, I still have that awful feeling that there is some shadowy figure right outside my door that is about to open it and torture me while I can't move. It's........yeah. Really shitty way to wake up. Usually can't shake the heebiejeebies until I take my shower and eat breakfast.

Usually I don't remember what I was dreaming later on, but one I can remember for some reason is: I was dreaming about how there were aliens that came to earth, and could take over your body, but only if you opened the box they lived in. There were people going around handing out these boxes in the dream (already possessed of course), but I found out about the aliens by mistake before opening my box and was almost killed in the dream. It was pretty crazy, but not really scary yet. Then some of them caught me and tied me down to a chair and made my hands open a box, and I woke up with sleep paralysis. Probably one of the worst mornings of my life followed, lol

That wasn't a dream.

I've never had sleep paralysis. What I get is randomly waking up with my arms having no feeling in them.

I used to have that too. I thought it was my blood circulation being cut off but usually I didn't have my arm on my head enough to do that, it would just be a little bit of pressure on my arm from a bit of my head on it etc. My doctor said it was something called a 'pinch nerve' and all I needed to do was exersize my arms for a few minutes every day and it would go away. Did that for about a week then afterwards it stopped happening!

Sleep paralysis use to happen to me a lot the first few months I was back from Iraq. Someone would slam the trunk to their car outside and it'd wake me up in a half-groggy stupor. Shit sucked, felt like I couldn't move at all.

Just in case you guys don't get it, this story is largely bullshit. You see 'coma, vegetative state and awake' and are thinking they woke the guy up from something. It was more a science thing, they thought he was in a 'coma' but he was actually technically conscious. That's it. He still sits there like a vegetable, unable to say/communicate anything and probably gets fed through a tube. It's not like they snapped him out of it and he's going to be on Letterman telling his story.

And fuck that facilitator pretending to be talking for the guy.

Objects and words were shown to the patients in the absence of the facilitator who was then called back into the room. The patient was then asked to say what they had seen or heard.

That's what they had to do to prove the lady was full of shit. Should throw her ass in jail.

I get this a lot, it's annoying, first few times it happened I was sleeping on my arms, attributed it to that, last couple of times my arms have been entirely free, and still can't move them, but rest of my body moves relatively fine
