Hi there, I'm from NYC and I just recently graduated from the University of Colorado last may. I party a lot(These days only on weekends), I do very well with girls, and have an awesome group of friends and family. Things are going pretty well for me right now. I live at home (NYC area) however I do not have a steady job. I have worked on and off all last year I am a very positive and optimistic person however the therapist I explain this "sensation" to says that my job situation may cause me stress to trigger what happens almost every night when I go to sleep. I strongly disagree with her.

It usually happens a lot during days I do not party, these days it doesn't happen on the weekends. As I fall asleep I get this crazy tingling sensation first on my brain, than all over my body. My conscience says to myself "It's happening again. Wake up." I see my eyes open and sometimes there is a ghostly thing looking at me, floating over me whispering. Sometimes I see myself wake up, and struggle to move (Sleep paralyses) no matter how hard I try.

I always wake up clutching my chest hard, lying down on my back. However the last few times have been the most intense sensations ever. I am in a new world with people explaining things to me. Very visual and intense dreams. The deeper in the dream I go, the more intense the tingling sensation hits me. Eventually I wake up. Actually wake up. I clutch my chest, I am breathing hard, and the dark object in my room become scary figures. I race for the light just to clear my head. Nothing is there of course once the light is on. I sit on the side of my bed, My head feels like I just came down from some crazy drug, and my body gets the chills all over. The most intense chills, that I can't even describe.

I have no one to talk about these experiences with and often have a tough time finding the words to describe them. I find them terrifying and do not want them to happen. No body believes me and the Doctor and two therapists I have seen for them do not take them seriously. What can I do to make them stop? Should I embrace them? I have second thoughts about going to sleep almost every night. This has been going on for a little over two years now. After last nights intensity, I looked up "Tingling Sensation on brain while asleep" and "Astral Projection" is what came up.

Thank you for reading and any response is greatly appreciated.
