I'm just 14, I call myself Rjane, direct to the point, why sometimes when I'm in the middle of asleep I can't move my body, I feel so paralyze and I'm scared. I'm trying hard to wake up but when I went back to sleep again, it occurs again and again, when I'm telling this kind of stories to my friends they said that, it was a nightmare and I believe to them but I don't know why it's always occurs when I'm going to sleep.
Then aside of that, there's another, why sometimes when I'm spacing out, there are persons I don't know flashing in my mind. I mean at least one month there are different persons flashing in my mind. The first one is a guy in black with a cap on his head, when I saw him it looks like I'm from a high place somewhere 'cause I'm looking down at him. The other one is a man in a black again but he was a huge man. Then the other month it was a lady she looks ill.
I can't recognize their faces because it was a flash only. And there's another I feel so strange sometimes, I m seeing a shadow like. I don't know that but it is always occurs. I'm seeing it but when I look directly on it. It'll vanished. Then another is my dreams, when I had a dream I'm dreaming in a unknown place,it's unknown in reality but I had always dreamt of it. I don't know why this happens to me.
Your story about random visions is quite common. I however have had many experiences where you are paralized during sleep. You concious was still battling the sub, that can happen a lot when you know you are dreaming and trying to open your eyes. It can be scary. But it is nothing to worry about. However if it is while you are completely awake, I recommend seeing a physician!
