The most frightening experience of my life.

I promise you this is not a troll post nor fake. I swear on my father. This is also not a dream. Everything I describe below is REAL LIFE

I am a guy with no irrational fears. Was afraid of ghosts and the dark as a kid. But those fears faded. Never even been afraid of death. Afraid of failure, sure. But who isnt...

I am currently in a terrified and paranoid state writing this. Every little sound I hear gives me goosebumps and scares me. If someone were to prank scare me right now I probably might die from shock, if it were possible to die from being scared.

I was browsing and posting on is it normal on my phone in bed. I remember reading some serious and intense topics. Then I went to sleep. That was 1:40am

Fast forward to 2:35am. I am standing in the hall, in complete darkness, unconscious. I realize my knees hurt because they are skinned and left shoulder hurts as if someone tried to pull my arm off. Or that i used my left arm to break my fall. As I gradually become conscious I realize from the echo in the walls that I had been screaming in a very "low pitched" voice. The kind of cheesy sounds you make trying to pretend you are a ghost. Except instead of boo, it was an incoherent and loud AHHHH.

As I finally regain full consciousness and control of my body the first thing I instinctively do is raise my hands and alert my roommate "It's me! It's <myname>! Dont worry! Please! It's me!" She stands startled, awake from her sleep, and speechless, in her room, beside her bed. By now she has turned on the light in her room. I am standing in darkness, in the hall, my eyes wide open. My comforter and pillow on the ground by my feet, and I am about 15 feet away from my bedroom. My chin feel wet and I realize it is my own saliva

For the record I have never done drugs, nor alcohol, not on any medication nor have I ever been

In the split seconds all this happened. My roommate thought I was having an electric shock, and that she had to try and disconnect/save me. In the split seconds that I got a hold of my senses I knew how frightening this moment was and tried to console her that everything was okay. Part of me was scared she would kill me because the moment was that fucking terrifying.

I then entered her room, the situation calmed down and I sat on her bed, stunned, but trying to make sense of what the fuck just happened. We laughed a little bit. The kind of laugh when you are confused but stunned and spooked. It was clear I had done all this in a state of panic. I dont remembed why, how, or what made me. We both figured I was panicked and trying to wake up, but couldnt.

It is 03:22am now. I am wide awake and teary eyed in my own room. I have college at 10am. Dont think I can sleep anymore. Im sure she is awake too. My room light is on. And although some vaseline has given my skinned knees some relief, I am still mentally disoriented and scattered.

    Sleep walking can do that to you.

    Sounds like sleep walking. I've done something similar many times before. One time, I was over my friend's house and I was sleeping over. In the middle of the night, because I forgot where I was, I started screaming really loudly "HELP WHERE AM I HELP" and then I even got up and stood in the middle of the room and tried to jump to another room? Made no sense but my friend turned on the light and was scared to pieces.

    By the way your bit where you wrote "It's me! It's me!" made me laugh so hard, I spit my water out. That hasn't happened in a long , long time so thanks for that.

    • Hahaha. Yes it is so funny yet intriguing what possessed me to say that. Something a werewolf would say

      And thanks for sharing your experience. Gives a lot more perspective. Now help me convince my overly-spiritual sisters that I am not "connecting" with the paranormal world cause I use more than 10% of my brain lol

    Alright. First things first - breathe. Plug in some music and rest your head.

    Have you been stressed lately? Does anyone in your family have a tendency to sleepwalk?

    • Thank you for your kind comment

      I am much better aftee writinf that post. I discussed it with my siblings on a chat group and am now 90% normal

      Stressed. Sure. But i am always stressed. A bit of a tight ass. So stressed always

      And no sleepwalking history. But i am certain it was sleep walking. Though the "shouldee hurting like someone was pulling it off" does add spice to the story =). Im sure i either hit it against a wall or fell down on it

      /excuse typos am on phone

        Alright. If this continues and you're worried about further injuring yourself, contact a medical specialist.

    Sounds like sleep walking and you were still half experiencing the dream upon waking consciousness, you'd get similar things happening to sleep paralysis except the paralysis
