Experienced on or around May 1st, 2008 - by

Hi, my name is Michelle. I'm 16. This experience happened when i was around 12 to 14 (and still to this day). Let me begin to tell you what my situation was at the time.
1) I was in middle school at that time.
2) I was/always will be, a night owl >.< I would stay up until like 2 in the morning. (I like to read books-alot)
BUT my buss comes at 7 so I would get like 4 hours of sleep..
Anyway, my point is that I would get really really sleepy when I got home - to the point where I would take 2 hour naps every day. As I started to develop this habit strange/scary things started to happen to me in my sleep. I'll describe as best as I possibly can.
When I would be sleeping my mind would wake up but my body would be stone solid, like I couldn't will my body to move. At the same time my heart would be beating so fast, It was almost impossible. And a lot of the times I wouldn’t be able to breathe too. I would be terrified beyond belief when this happened (it happened alot actually, about 3 times a week) When I was in these situations I would scream in my mind, MOVE MOVE HELP. As for the not breathing and weird heart beat, I would try to rationalize in my head that the blankets where over my face and I needed to move them. But always, I would be left there in that trance. A lot of times I would hear this terrifying whispering noise, like a lot of people were whispering at the same time.
That experience sometimes led to another experience I would have. In my mind I would “wake up” – that is when I would have a dream, sort of, of myself waking up and walking around my house. But I would wake up for real, and be really confused.
This next part is by far the most bizarre experience. One day, I took a nap on my bed, face down. I woke up to a strange ticking at my nose. When I looked down I saw a furry blue carpet. This was the carpet next to my bed. I was somehow floating a few inches off this carpet. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see the wood work of the bed next to the carpet. At the time I didn’t know what to think because my vision was blurred kinda.
That was somehow a dream and when I woke up I was completely spooked out.
And as far as the body thing, that's happened to me before too. I'm not sure why it happened, but I couldn't talk, or move, and I wave screaming to, and nobody heard me. I wanted to get up, and I couldn't so I wanted my recent boyfriend to help me, and for some reason I was like paralyzed.
If you ever figured out why these happened, or how you can prevent them. You should let me know.
