Have you ever experienced that, some devil or ghost sitting on top of you, pushing your body and making you suffocate to breath, unable to move or speak for brief period of time when you were asleep? Do not be worried you are not alone. It is nothing but, sleeping paralysis.
It is a condition, which happens when you experience REM (Rapid Eye Movement), it is a deep sleeping state. Whenever one experiences sleeping paralysis, one tend to panic as our brain would always try for reasoning and it would make us believe that we are unable to move as ghost or devil is sitting on top of us making all these things. And we believe that it is because of ghost, so we end up in nightmares which would make us sweating.
3 years back I had experienced the worst nightmare, around 3AM in the morning I experienced this phenomenon and told my room mate (Badri Badrinath Varadharajan) that something is trying to push me and making me suffocate. He comforted me and said it would be dream or something. After 15 minutes or so, he woke up and screamed that he also experienced that. We were frightened and we went to hall and preferred to stay awake till the dawn.
It took 3 years for me to realize that, it is a medical condition and ghost do not exist as I believed. Nowadays when I go through this, I do get hallucination and in my lucid dreams I will tell myself it is because of Sleeping Paralysis and I am dreaming.It would make me confident. So next time when you experience this phenomena just tell yourself that you are going through sleeping paralysis.
Well, it is true that "Appearance is always deceptive"
