Who massaged my feet during my sleep paralysis?

[EmilOsterstrom]

Hey... didn't wanna hijack the "Sleep Paralysis - What's the cause? "-thread so opened this one...

So I just had my first sleep paralysis in 9 months (coincidence after joining this forum?!) and this experience were different from the other ones I've had.

First of all, when it happened, i immedialtely started thinking of what Erin wrote (in ""Sleep Paralysis - What's the cause?") - that i should focus on another room, so I did. But this was very hard. It was hard to focus. Then I tried imagining myself up the roof.... Didn't work. During this state - for the first time - I saw an eye in front of me - size of a childrens head. I've never seen anything in this state - only having it all black.
Not only this, but I also started feeling someone touching/massaging my feet . I have sensed a being watching me during this state - but not actually touching me!!
This made me very uncomfortable so I opened my eyes and tried to "break loose" from the experience, which worked...

So...what does this mean??

First the eye, then the massage ... :-s

An evil entity?
Imagination?

things talk to and touch me all the time during sleep paralysis. I have a couple of theories but nothing conclusive. First, I think it could be a conscious entity on another plane intersecting and interacting with you. Second, it could be a hallucination (your brain firing off impulses in the synapses that register touch when in fact there is no stimulus).

What I wouldn't give for a good, nocturnal foot massage.

I've felt a bodily presence in bed with me a couple of times when there was no one physically there. They always seemed connected to my dreams, though. And never freaked me out in a scary way. Just in a startled way.

Uh... that was me. You snore, didja know that?

I've never had any physical sensations with sleep paralysis other than the occasional heaviness in the chest. But it doesn't happen very often. I imagine it's some sort of physical hallucination somehow tied in with the common feelings of dread and fear that often accompanies sleep paralysis.

So massage my feet next time!

Once I could have sworn something slapped me on the bottom of my foot. A massage would have been a whole lot nicer, lol.

Good to know I'm not the only one.. ;)
Hey, had another one,and same with the feet but this time I actually grabbed the "hand" that touched me ... So that was even weirder...

And how about that eye I saw? Would could it have been? :)

I don't know what is massaging your feet, but I have had some strange experiences during sleep paralysis also.

I had a co-worker of Asian descent tell me that they believe that the spirits are sitting on you. I don't know if that is true or not, but the time before last I felt a presence sit on my bed. The bed actually sunk in where "it" was sitting. I used all my might to try to will myself to move. It took everything I had. I finally was able to get my arms to move and I pushed "it" off the bed. "It" hit the floor with a loud thud. I was freaked out for a couple of days!

My last experience was a little different. My entire body has always been paralyzed during an episode, but this time it felt as if someone or something was literally pulling back the skin on my face as hard as it could. I thought my skin was going to rip off.

Has anyone had a similar experience?
