Is it normal that my mind wakes up before my body?

I guess its normal because i asked my friends when it happened to me for the first time (i seriously thought something was wrong with me!!) and many of them also said they had experienced it.

But it might not be normal if it happens so often. You should consult a doctor to be sure. Hope everything turns out to be fine!

And I think violetgrape is insane :) I've been an atheist all of my life that I can remember , and I didn't suddenly come to Jesus and have it stop. It randomly stopped.

Never happened to me, but I can imagine this would be terrifying.

Sleep paralysis is abselutely normal. It is caused when you are awake but your head is dreaming, causing you to lose control to over your muscles.

The head is still dreaming so don't be scared if you see demons or something. You are just hallucinating :)
Good luck with your problems

i know people who have experienced this but i havent. Im scared it will happen to me though. I guess its normal, just go to a doctor and maybe get some meds or something. GoOd LuCk (:

Lucky, its every day for me. and prayer haven't got anything on me. I pay to the sun god ra and according to egyptian stuff, the Sun god Ra claims that your BA, or soul has only temporarly returned to the body during its midnight journey to make sure you are not in danger. I just think of it as more time to think about what I'm going to wear.

The same thing happens to me it's sleep paralysis, I had it since I was like really young and I finally looked it up and did some research and diagnosed myself. Whenever it happens just relax and you'll wake up faster.

Totally normal but it scares the shit out of me when it happens. It must really suck being paralyzed from the neck down.

i am experiencing. it is not a nice thing at all

Sleep Paralysis.

It happens to me occasionally and scares the shit out of me. My heart stops beating and I can't breathe anymore. My chest feels heavy and I can't move. My body is in a awkward position that I can't break free from. Everyone has slowed down and though my heart has stopped beating, I can hear it thundering slowly in my ears. Sometimes, there's a shadow in the corner. It scares me and I panic, desperately trying to wake up before it's too late...
