Who said I am a nice or courteous guy?

"Ginoj is an extremely bad person with a terrible attitide. He is known to be extremely obnoxious and quick tempered. He is far from a courteous person. He steals information from all over the web and copy pastes it to the famous chess site called Red Hot Pawn.

Red Hot Pawn is a global correspondence chess community with over 100,000 members founded in February 2001 by the authors of Rival Chess.

Red Hot Pawn supports turn-based online chess. Players choose who and when you play and games don't have to be finished in one sitting. After making a move, a player's opponent has a certain amount of time to respond, ranging from 1 day up to 21 days depending on the settings of the game. Players can partake in multiple simultaneous games.

Red Hot Pawn has a very active community of players supported by forums, clans and private clan forums.

The Red Hot Pawn site is also available under the following domain names, although apart from the change in appearance, everything else is identical, so if you create an account at one site, your account is valid at the other sites also." From Wikipedia

It happens to be every now and again. Normally, I'll force myself to move my arm and that will wake me up. It's that "you're awake but you're not" sensation that I don't like about it.

I always wondered what that was called.
Years ago for a period of about 6 mo - 1 yr. I had the experence.

With me, it would happen just as I was on the verge of falling asleep.
It would start as a sort of overall body tingle and move on to where I couldn't move.
It scared the crap out of me. I would feel that if I gave in to it that I would leave my body and I didn't want to do that.
I was always able to "escape" by moving a body part to break the spell. It wasn't always easy to do. I had to use my mind to force a finger, toe or something to twitch or move .. then i'd be afraid to try falling back to sleep.
I never let it "take me" where ever it was I would have gone .. controlfreak.

It's only happened to me twice. Both on the same night, after smoking a fair bit of skunk.

The first time, I was just lying on my back in bed. Then it was like this scream started at my toes and moved up my body accompanied with pulsing fire. I couldn't move, and when the scream reached my neck it stopped, and I could just internally scream.

The second one, again I was lying on my back and this huge bug (beetle type thing like something I saw in Cambodia, but bigger) was flitting around my head. I kept trying to move my arms to flick it away, but I couldn't move my hands. I was on a high bed at the time (due to Argos delivering 2 beds instead of 1), and when I eventually managed to get my body to move, I leapt straight out of bed, landing on my pc desk (the top of which was held on by black sticky tape due to lack of screws being sent out by Argos). So I guess I was still asleep, and suddenly there's this huge bang, and I'm awake in the corner of the room, looking at a room which looks like a bomb hit it; pc screen, ash, loads of cds, and paper work, biros, you name it, all over the floor.

For the first time in my memory I slept with the lights on that night. It also turned me off the chemically enhanced hydroponic skunk. I just stick to bush or smash now.

what you describe. I wasn't on drugs though, so that might explain it. I
simply found myself trying to sit up, but every time I did, it felt like I
almost left my body followed by feelings of panic. Both times I
concentrated hard, mustered up strength to shout, and soon I snapped ...[text shortened]... . But no matter
how I try I can't seem to control it. It happens when it happens I guess.
There are people who claim that Sleep Paralysis is the first step to Astral Projection. It is also experienced prior to some visions (some say hallucinations, some say visitations), most notably a common one called "Old Hag Syndrome" where people report seeing an old woman in the room, or even hovering over their bed. Some merely see a menacing "dark figure". As reported here, the main cure for Sleep Paralysis is to get some part of your body to actually physically move (even just a finger or toe works). This seems to bring most people out of it.
