Unable to move while waking up
I'm a 14 year old female. Early this morning I was about to wake up-my dream was concluding and I went to open up my eyes. However, suddenly I was frozen in place and unable to move anything. Everything around me was brown and I began to hear two male voices telling me I'd "never get out of this." My initial reaction was to call for my parents but I was unable to make any sound. This only lasted a minute or two but it was extremely scary. I really don't understand what happened and why it happened but I'd really like it to not happen again, so does anyone know about this kind of thing?

I gather this is what happens when the cognitive functions of your brain 'wake-up' a little before the part of the brain which controls our 'motor functions' which are the impulses which actuate and control our actions and voluntary movements. Now, normally there is a kind of mechanism which prevents this. The motor functions come 'on-line' as you might say, before the cognitive functions. And indeed, if you watch someone waking-up you will often see them stir, or move or twitch slightly before they become properly awake and aware of their surroundings. When it (rarely) happens in the wrong order, so to speak we find ourselves conscious of our surroundings, and properly awake and aware, it is not part of a dream. But since the motor-function centres are still not powered-up, we cannot move, or speak either since the our vocal chords are also muscular in nature. Thus, we feel 'paralysed' and struck dumb The visual centres and hearing are not strictly muscular, so we can see and hear, although we may find our focus is not perfect. As we said it happens occasionally but is not in itself a symptom, indication or advance warning of any significant psychiatric/mental condition or affliction. But it is scary when it happens, right?? The 'voice' I am not certain about, but in moments of acute anxiety our thoughts can often manifest themselves in what would seem to be a 'voice'. An odd kind of third-party narrative. In this case, 'voicing' your fear that you were paralysed for life! And in the brief moments before you got your brain-functions properly sorted your anxiety levels would have shot up. You possibly felt rather 'nervy' and 'shaky' afterwards? And noticed your heart was beating rather fast and heavy? As it does after a shock/surprise/trauma etc. Are you a bit happier about the episode now? I hope so. Have a great day mate!

The first thing you're going to hear from anyone is that with the hearing of voices of people not there, that it could be the onset of mental disabilities. And I realize that it is a possibility. My brother started Schizophrenia around your age.
However I am open minded and believe many things. At first, until you mentioned voices, thought it was some form of sleep paralysis. If everything turned brown or colors bled out of everything, to grey or black and white, Thats what happens to many just a second or two before they pass out, like blood sugar dropping, which is possible after waking from a long sleep and not having eaten recently.
However, lastly . . . I must share things that many just don't believe in, considering it all woo-woo stuff that's not real. The spirit world is more real than you may think. I don't know how open minded your parents are. SO if they believe in God, Angels, spirit guides past lives, etc...then you will able able to tell them of your experience and get psychic help if needed. You may need to find help on your own.
I am thinking of why you might be picked on. I am talking of ghosts which are nothing more than peoples spirits who have not passed over into the light to God. They roam a certain area they feel tied to. If this is a new home, it could be they want you out. If you've been dabbling in black arts, ouiji board, it could be that unknowingly you let something in to your life. The good thing is that God has given us the abilities to use our mind and specifically our imagination to create things/situations to our benefit such as my being at a fair with daughter. For two hours, I was constantly bumped into by people not watching where they were going, at least once a minute and I am not exaggerating here. It was totally weird and something no one else would believe. I think it happened for me to remember I can use my imagination for this. I imagined something around my middle that extended far enough beyond me so that anyone reaching with their arm couldn't touch me. All around I placed a ring of flames. Then I went back to enjoyed another 2 1/2 hours where not a single person ever bumped into me. I know, sound like another exaggeration but true. One time I tested my energy field on a friend. Our energy field extends beyond us quite a ways, I visualized seeing it like a cloud that I pulled back inside of me so none went further beyond my skin and when my friend gave a hug, they felt something missing and asked if I was mad at them. Those are the best examples I can give for what i will share that you can use next. People have many visualizations for protecting themselves psychically. The only people I know who seem to have this down better than Christians is the pagans. I visualize myself in something like a bubble, giant hamster ball, its not rigid but surrounds me going through any solid matter I may be standing by, it moves with me and I tell myself this ball in the clear pure protective energy of God. I also ask for my angels to protect me and be specific. I would ask your angels that if this is mean spirit related, that they help protect you and show you how to be rid of it if it continued. If you have watched any ghost hunter shows, you'll know the ones that solve problems more often when its mean spirited ghosts, are ones with a psychic in the show besides those with their instruments. There are quacks out there and those who beleive they are psychic but have no idea what they are doing. Most such people, I've found through asking at metaphysical bookstores, the ones that have incense, pentagrams, etc and often schedule classes, one on one readings or such. You may be able to find a psychic that way.
I believe in this order how to discover whats happening: Try a psychic first, if they don't detect that it is spirit related, then next you'd have to see a Dr. to check for a sleep paralysis related thing. Lastly I recommend seeing a psychologist to get checked out to see if its a mental illness. I leave this for last because if gone to first, with your story, they will put you on medications right away which is good if that's that cause of your problem and not so good if something else is causing it. My brother was often put on the newest meds that came out which made him worse, he saw and heard more things that weren't there so he was switched back. If you can get everything else ruled out, then if you still have problems while on medication, it may not be the right one for you.
Lastly, it may be scary to just start asking but if you know any pagan gals or guys at school, find out if their parents are too and ask to talk to them, get a number and ask them to help point you in the right direction. Most psychics earn their income this way and charge for it but among pagan friends, there's bound to be others who will know someone. If you are Christian and believe this would be a very wrong move to make, I challenge you to ask God if its okay and go by what you believe you hear Him say. It should always help your situation, not be useless. If you need to get back to me on this at all, just write to me from my column dear.
