I had the longest sleep paralysis in a hotel room
(admin pls post! i am sharing from my experience!)
I don’t know but my body has been so stressed lately. I’ve been sleeping very late all week because of endless lab work and exams. So this morning, I woke up to eat breakfast, but right after that, I went back to bed.
My sleep paralysis isn’t usually like those scary things that people see. But I know when my sleep paralysis is starting because I start hearing a loud buzzing sound. This has been happening since 2022, right after I had COVID. It usually only happens once a month or sometimes after another month or so. I got used to the loud buzzing sound and my whole body vibrating, so I wasn’t really scared anymore.
But this recent one was so weird. I experienced the loud buzzing sound and my whole body vibrating, and I tried to calm myself down so I could finally wake up. I woke up seconds later, but I was so dumb because I didn’t move from my sleeping position at all, and then I WENT BACK TO THAT STATE AGAIN.
But this time, the loud buzzing sound was so loud that it really hurt my ears. It was like a loud buzzing mixed with microphone static right in my ear. I couldn’t move, and it was so annoying. I could hear my mom’s music in the hotel room and my two brothers playing around. It was like that for a couple of minutes.
Then I tried moving around, but I couldn’t. Btw, during my episodes, my eyes are always closed. I never want to see anything during my episodes. Then I accidentally opened my eyes, thinking I had already woken up, and it was so weird because I could see our normal hotel room and another version of our hotel room with red lighting. It was so fucking scary 😭 I was so freaked out that I closed my eyes again. I WAS LIKE THAT FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS until I felt a presence near me. I thought it was my brother.
I couldn’t speak clearly, but I was trying to say, “Wake me up, wake me up.” So he tried putting water on my face, but it didn’t work. Then, this time, I opened my eyes, and I thought I was already awake.
My mom was on the hotel balcony talking to a guy. The guy said that the hotel had bad energy and that we should do something. So my mom asked him to come into the hotel room. He had some incense sticks and feathers in his bag, but I couldn’t recall much anymore. He saw me, and they tried putting my body on the carpet. He placed some incense sticks on the floor, and he said, “This energy is now yours not theirs.” Then he tried doing something while my mom was shaking my body, and then I finally woke up from my sleep paralysis.
GOD IT WAS SO STRESSFUL IDK IF IT WAS A DREAM OR A SLEEP PARALYSIS AT ONCE ALL I KNOW IS I COULDNT MOVE BUT SOMETIMES I CAN BUT NOT FULLY MOVE
