Is it normal to feel paralyzed and hear voices while conscious during sleep?

Hi,

I wonder if you could help at all. I'm in my late teens, and I am recently waking up, 2, 3 times in the night, to the sound of loud voices in my head. It is a woman normally, and shes talking really fast about Church and something else...anyway, it doesn't actually matter what shes talking about. The point is, when i DO wake up, to these voices, i'm not entirely awake, more, in a half sleep state i think, but, i cant wake up, and cant move, no matter how hard i try. I know its not normal to feel like that, so i try and wake myself, but its no help. What can i do to stop these voices, and could this be stress related? As opposed to being 'normal' or not? I don't want to think that i'm loosing my mind or anything....

Thanks very much,

    I think what that was is sleep paralysis...sleep paralysis happened to me twice....it felt like my mind was awake but my body was asleep and I tried to wake up but I could not move......and the first time it happened to me I heard a devilish voice.

    It's the Virgin Mary appearing to you maybe. Consider yourself lucky!

    Scary stuff, very true, I think it has to do with spirits too, cause I had the same thing happen to me but even before sleep sometimes things would happen and sometimes after I'm awake already the lights would turn on or off and id hear or feel something like a chill

      Surely though, if it has stuff to do with spirits, correct me if im wrong, they would just come anyway to you whether your asleep or awake? Whats so important and significant about whilst your falling asleep?

    Yuck, sleep paralysis. In my opinion, that shit is terrifying.

    No worries, though, very common and completely normal.

    This that your refering to is called "sleep paralysis". Its acually pretty normal and if you are open to new things then you could use this opportunity to Astral Project or Lucid Dream. Its very easy and also pretty amazing. And YES this shit is REAL and SAFE, so embrace it :-)
