   I once had what I can only call seizures while asleep. I had finished reading 
"The Metamorphosis" by Kafka (and cried some at the ending of it), took a nap, 
and an hour later and asleep, i felt what i thought was someone pushing and 
bouncing my bed as if placing their hands near my legs, bouncing the mattress 
wildly, and working their way up from my feet to my hips.  
   I panicked and froze (so i guess that was a paralysis of sorts), and slowly 
squinted my eyes and saw... no one. Just my legs bouncing wildly up and down 
off the bed.  I was in a sort of "twilight" state and deliberately didn't finish waking 
up cuz i wanted to see exactlywhat the fuck was going on! 
(it slowly stopped after a few minutes, according to my alarm clock)

It's never happened to me again.

  Another weird dream situation was an early morning when I was a little kid and me 
and my brother were asleep in our room, in his dream he let out a scream to my dad 
to help him or something like that, my dad, also asleep with my mom in the next room 
let out his scream in response - that he'll be right there to go save him! 
   Everyone compared notes right after and got freaked out by the whole thing, that my
bro and dad - while both slept - were having a conversation each in their own dreams, but 
in separate rooms.  At the time my mom was studying to become - you guessed it - a 
Jehovah's Witness (not that He needs any) and my dad was fucking around with Rosicrucianism 
before moving on to other esoterica...  who do I blame??

'Save me...
  save me from Tomorrow..
    I don't want to sail in this Ship Of Fools...'

I've had lots of incidents of sleep paralysis myself & researched it quite a bit.  
Everything from being pinned down, bitten, scratched dragged across the room, burnt & also smells as well as visual hallucinations - not pleasant! 
The freaky thing there though is she had the paralysis, but I saw something over her & she woke up the second it went.
I can't explain or rationalise that one!
Maybe we both experiencing different degrees of SP at the same time?
Maybe it was Bes getting his kicks - who knows :)

I find it fascinating & that painting on the Wiki page sums it up perfectly!

On a completely unrelated note, I just stumbled across this picture of this fine beard:

You’re making that up right?
nope on both counts. 

I know I've posted this before but by far one of the spookiest happened not long after we met.
The fluorescent mrs fatpotanga crashed at my parents house one night.
My bed was only a single so I had a mattress on the floor, she the bed.
She woke me up trying to shout in her sleep I looked over & there was this really weird figure bent over her head, like body at perfect rightangles.
It slowly turned it's head towards me - had these mad shiny black eyes & what I can only describe as a weird spiky/twiggy beard - it locked eyes with me & slowly faded.
The second it had vanished, she sat bolt upright, gasping for breath & very distraught saying that something had her pinned down & was choking her.
I didn't tell her for years what I'd seen.
