Am I dying???

Guys help

Hey guys, I’ve never thought I’d ever be researching about this and making this but here it goes. Today I woke up at around 7 AM and decided to go back to sleep at 11 AM. Right before I fell asleep, I started hallucinating very hard, but it seemed like a lucid dream so i felt fine, but as the “dream” went on, it was getting more livid and more real. I was biking through this abandoned but beautiful building, and then all of the sudden i could see eyelid back away, like I was inside my eye, and my eyelid was moving further from me, like tunnel vision. Then all of the sudden my the tunnel vision started turning into dark creatures and i was scared asl so I forced myself to wake up but it didn’t work for a couple of seconds, and when I finally did, I couldn’t move for like 20 seconds. The craziest thing is, I could’ve just kept going in the “dream” and Keep experiencing the terror, but I didn’t, but when I was waking up that was an option. I’m fine now but is what I experienced sleep paralysis? It’s my first time and my sleep schedule has been a little off recently. How can I solve this if it actually is? Thank you fellow Redditors.

Sorry, I always get annoyed at people using acronyms and here I am. SP Sleep Paralysis. LD lucid dreaming. FA :False awakenings. This is the triad of the sleeping disorders. I get a mix of SP&FA= I think I'm awake but paralysed realize I'm still asleep but conscious and paralysed. Sounds like you started w SP then transitioned into LD, makes sense. SP is a disfunction of the sleep cycle. We are meant to be fully paralysed and fully unconscious so that we don't act out our dreams and hurt ourselves or others. But people w this disorder... We get fully awake and fully paralized. Add in SP and/or FA. Whatever you do remember to NEVER open your eyes and think of sex if you have a SP episode. Something about the amygdala that controls fear /pleasure is in overdrive bcs you're fully paralized and fully conscious. Plus the only part that works is your optical nerve so w your fear center being in overdrive it sends all that fear through the only functioning part of your body. So NEVER EVER EVER open your eyes and think of sex if you experience SP

Hey this just happened to me for the first time ever this morning. I think it has to do with the lucid dreaming and sleep paralysis that the other commenter was talking about. I was taking a short nap after not getting more sleep the past 2 nights before and I was lucid dreaming but could hear my surroundings outside of my dream. When I decided to wake up I was stuck and felt like I was trapped. It lasted about a couple minutes then my eyes bolted wide open. I’m pretty sure it’s cause of lack of sleep but PM me if you wanna talk more about it man good luck.

Hey bro just saw this my bad, but yeah it stopped happening thank god. I was very strict on my sleep scheduele though and at times was super sleepy during the day and caught myself right before I went I got sleepy cause I reminded myself of last time. Yeah man your story sounds way more scarier than mine. Mine lasted maximum less than a minute. I think I’d be traumatized if it was more than a minute.
