I had lain down approximately 10:30 PM on the 23 of January 2012 to go to sleep. I had not been laying there for too long when I felt what I can best describe as a wave of paralysis starting with my feet and moving to my head quickly. I could not move nor open my eyes. I heard a low humming sound. I quickly became frightened. My 7 year old Boxer sleeps on the bed next to me and did not make a move or sound so I am not sure if she noticed anything herself. I felt like I was becoming weightless. I woke up at 5:15 AM on the 24th feeling as if I had just laid down and remember fleeting images of a dream I had just had involving me several human like entities. This is not the first time this has happened to me and I felt like it is time to tell someone. I have actually had many encounters with the unknown but have never come forward.
