Experience of scissorlock.

I had got it once when I was 14. Back than I used to hang a lot in the streets and sit around on sidewalks and the like. I think that had contributed to me getting it, because, as my doc had put it: 'I got a cold in my muscles'. I spent first day in bed, and second walking around at the pace of an ant. :D

Yeah I used to have those kind of dreams like a couple of years ago and I would probably agree on the statement that they are most likely caused by stress or something of that nature. I vividly remember one scissorlock dream where I was laying in a ditch in our high school football practice fields in the ditch. I'm not sure if the dreams where you are fighting someone and your punches are really slow can be classified as scissorlock or not but I think that it's also basically the same thing as that because you can't really control your body.

Hi,lore2009!~I have experienced this before.I don't know why but I know the feeling.I cann't control my body at that time,I knew I'm lying in bed but I cann't sit up or move my body,even open my mouse became difficult.It's terrible for me,I want somebody help me,but no one knew,they thought I was sound asleep.I spent a long time on raising up my hand or opening my eyes completely.Once I can raise up my hand easily,the scissorlock disappeared in a short time. Happy motting!!~

It's actually not an uncommon experience, believe it or not. There is a biological explanation for what you call scissorlock. When we sleep, our body paralyzes certain muscles in the body (the anti-gravity muscles). These are mainly our core muscles. Doing this prevents us from getting up and acting out our dreams. Sleepwalking is when this function is over-ridden by something else. Anyway, sometimes, you wake up before the paralysis is lifted and are thus stuck in this state of being unable to move, yet being away. It's terrfying. I experienced it once, during a nightmare. I have never been so scared. Whether it's caused by bad spirits, I can't say. Based on that experience, I would most certainly believe it. But, it has been observed by scientists and explained.

I've had it a couple times before. I haven't heard much about it other than what you've said. I wasn't particularly stressed when I got it, so I don't quite know what caused it.
