nightmares, someone holding you down

Okay this has never really happened to me since I was little...
But I'm at uni at the mo, and obviously staying in a different room
a few weeks back i was dropping off to sleep when i felt someone on top of me
i hated the feeling n tried to wake up, it felt like i almost had to pull myself out of the sleep to wake up
i turned over and fell back to sleep, same thing happened again.. i repeated this and it probably happened 4 or 5 times that evening

then earlier today i was having a bad dream
we were running away from this fire
when i saw a bench on fire, as i approached it i saw this old lady sat there
she had been set on fire and her eyes were popping out of her head
so i tried to wake up
it was almost as if i was in two dreams
i got out of that one but then dreamt i was in my bed, in daylight trying to wake up but felt like someone was pinning me down
in the dream i was telling this thing to get off me, in my dream i could see nothing but assumed it was a ghost
when i actually woke up, i sort of jumped up slightly as if i had been pulling myself out of the dream again
and as soon as i opened my eyes, i felt a tingling feeling on the tops of my arms
as if someone had been pinning me down

i'm a strong believer in ghosts, and someone said they once saw someone in my room
but they were very drunk at the time
as anyone ever experienced anything like this before?

Your description made me scared. I used to have a recurring nightmare like this; it's one of my earliest memories. I have lots of nightmares anyway. Nightmares are horrible, you have my sympathy, but I don't think that it was a ghost somehow. That could have been at the back of your mind when you went to sleep and you dreamt about it. The origin of the word 'nightmare' is in suffocation of the sleeper/victim btw.

it's sleep paralysis

wikipedia has a good article, especially all the cultural and literature references which describe the being held down or sat upon sensation

Sleep paralysis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

it's normal for your body to be paralysed during dreaming, but sometimes either you notice this paralysis while dreaming/semi-dreaming or the paralysis persists into the first few seconds of wakefulness when you're naturally pretty confused. obviously all kind of dream like invention is going to occur to explain to yourself what's going on

it's pretty common. i've had it a lot

UGH I hate sleep paralysis. The first time it happened it was just after a vivid nightmare. Because your mind is active, it can easily feel like a really bad nightmare.

I love sleep paralysis when it is coupled with Hypnogogia... after a while you can control it and it's so much fun.

mine involved a black cat coming in through an air conditioner.
it sat on my chest and i couldn't breathe.

the man that owned that house before i moved in died due to complications from aids. he had a black cat.

i used to have reoccuring nightmares as a child
this man used to take me into a room on my own away from my parents
and he would hold me down and tickle me
people laugh when i tell them, but i was young, and scared
ad he would tickle me so much it hurt
i could never wake up
and was scared to sleep as a child
turns out, my younger brother had the same fucking nightmares
i dunno.. i believe in sleep paralysis
but i think other stuff contributes to it, like spirits n ghosts
that's just my opinion though
does anyone think that's odd how me and my brother had the same nightmares as children?

I experienced sleep paralysis a few months ago. It was different to any nightmare I've ever had in that it felt absolutely real. At first I couldn't tell whether I was dreaming or not but it came to my awareness that I was awake. Someone (I could sense them) was dragging me down my bed by my foot. I couldn't move, I couldn't make a sound and I damn nearly felt I couldn't breathe. I could just feel myself being dragged down the bed by this force. I can't remember what happened next, but then I felt a presence in my room. I could make out the bleary outline of a dark figure beside the door. I thought it might have been my mam but I since I could neither move nor scream I had no way of knowing. I was definitely conscious, just paralyzed.

I was totally freaked out by the incident for weeks until the topic of sleep paralysis and "night terrors" came up in RE class. It said in the book that someone experiencing a night terror wakes suddenly from a slow-wave sleep and often feels a presence in the room. The description was so familiar that I relaxed and haven't been bothered about it since.
