Thanks Alien did so His sounds different when after he screams he is able to move and walk around but it is almost in a trance and is like he doesn't recognize us . Strangely both times it happened this last year was the nights we were wrapping his Xmas and birthday presents

it sounds like he is sleep walking, or something like that

Yeah but it is strange that he screams before he does gets up Maybe he will grow out of them . He doesn't remember a thing when we ask him about it in the morning

Sounds like night terrors Happy. I used to get them when I was a kid. I looked completely awake and could interract with people but was in a dream world. I could see things and warn others to look out i.e. birds swooping etc…but the whole thing was a dream. The old girl reckons she used to come into my room after yelling and waking her up to find me trying to climb the walls to get away from something.

When they managed to calm me down I looked like I was in a trance to them. You do grow out of them.

when you woke up did you remember walking around and talking in your sleep???
 
Yeah Alien, remembered the whole thing the next morning. For all tense and purposes I was awake, yet dreaming or hallucinating at the same time.
I could hold a conversation and call people by their names and recognise my surroundings yet my dream world was also present in the room.

Funny stuff (perhaps slightly off topic) sometimes i have trouble sleeping and i was prescribed stillnox (the stuff apparently QLD took) and i've been known to walk around without knowing…

And my friend who is a pharmacist said she had a customer come in ask " i didn't know why i was putting weight on and then one day i left the video camera on and i saw that i wsa cooking for myself in my sleep at night time."

freaky stuff !!!

P.s Buddhism believes in reincarnation and a perennial quest for nirvana. From my studies at University on history and philosophy of science i think Dawkins is a bit of a douche...

these things arent an on-going thing with you guys though

I can't comment on the night terrors but im a sufferer (maybe 'experiencer' is a better word?) of sleep paralysis.

Im 30 now and i remember my first one was about 7 or 8 years ago. Scared the poo out of me at the time but a little research and talking to a friend one day about it only to discover the same thing happens to him made me feel a lot better about it all. 8 years later im more educated on the matter and realise thats its actually a common occurance with many people. Most people dont even realise what is happening/happend to them and waive it off to a dream. I seem to get on a bit of a roll. I'll have a week where everyday i have one just as i "try" to wake up in the morning or i can go 6 months and only have one. My last one was 2 days ago. It feels like it lasts sometimes for a good 10 or 20 minutes but in reality it could be nanoseconds as your brain plays tricks on you for time.

It's basically as tigerdave said, its a state of sleep where your brain has awoken but hasn't turned off the "paralysis" of your body (your brain does this so when you dream you dont throw punches, kick, bite, fall out of bed etc etc in real life.) The first few times it happend to me i swear to Yahweh i saw images or something moving in my bedroom, i could have sworn i saw the curtain move…just a little or the door come ajar, things like this. Infact its thought that many people "seeing ghosts" etc are actually at the time suffering from sleep paralyisis. It's a total trick on the mind as its half way between a dream and a conscious state. As i am now aware of what is happening to me i simply take a few deep breaths and try to realx (the worst thing you can do is fight it, the more you fight it, the deeper you sink into it) after a few deep breaths i relax and try to go as limp as possible. It's like magic, as i do this, relax all the muscles in my legs and shoulders....BANG!! all of a sudden i can move freely and i wake up. To this day, even with knowing whats going on I still do see and feel something in my room but ive had my girlfriend watch me come out of this state a few times, so i know nothing's going on in there as she is totally awake and shes the one freaking out by the weird noises im making as i try to wake up.

If anyone's read my previous posts they'll know im one of the biggest athiests/skeptics out there. Infact i believe this is where the origin of this skepticism has steemed from. Through clear thinking, personal experience, reading, researching, talking, I dont now see a ghost or a spirit, i see logic as to why im seeing these things. There's enough research. video, scientific studies and papers out there on the subject (just google it) but having experienced all this stuff first hand i choose to go the way of rational thinking and not go off in the other direction of "seeing spirits" as other do.
 
i actually had one last night, it's happened to me all my life as well, they don't scare the shit out of me like when i was a kid, but are still annoying. It's just a sleep dysfuction, about 10% of people will expirience one in their life.

definitely sounds like night terrors happy, it's reasonably common for kids to get it, especially when they are over tired
 
it has happened to me for as long as i can remember, and it still happens. most of the times it happens to me i cant even open my eyes or make any sound at all but i am completely awake and conscious and i know it is happening to me and can hear something and i feel something touching me which is causing pain, and sometimes even when the paralysis stops i can still feel the pain and have actually had bruises and stuff on my body that i didnt have when i went to sleep. i have also had out of body experiences aswell

Alien have you ever had yourself video taped while asleep?? Is there any possibility that you are hurting yourself while asleep Have heard of that ,but never seen it before

no i havent had myself video taped. thats not a bad idea.

im definately not hurting myself because i cant move at all. i normally sleep on my side and when it happens most of the time i am on my side and i have felt something behind me poking my back really hard and have felt something jump or sit on my bed near my legs but it didnt feel very heavy
 
Just to add what i have previously posted…....had the family over today for a bbq where mum told me a new story about my late cousin we recently lost.

His girlfriend was recieveing emails from a guy and whenever she tried to open the attachment the connection failed.....when it re-connected my cousins number showed on the screen. His girfriend then decided to have a convo with him and said "i love u and want u with me forever, but i cant be sad forever and i need to be happy".........since that "convo", she can open the attactahment from this guy.

So many things happen that cant be denied
