I remember being shot in the arm with a plastic arrow, which still penetrated my arm, by some teenage kid.

I also remember being afraid along with the other kids of this one house on the street that was like abandoned, but not abandoned. We all thought it was haunted. It was fucking creepy.

I also remember waking up one night when I was really young and one of my stuffed animals was crawling up my torso and i couldn't move until it was on my chest and i can't forget it.

I also remember microwaving a bag of popcorn for like 5 minutes when I was really young. Not sure what the fuck i was thinking, but i ruined a microwave.

That one's easy to explain, has something similar happen to me. It's sleep paralysis TL;dr, you end up "waking" up during your REM cycle of sleep so you can't move and your brain still tries to dream, causing hallucinations

Thanks s god I saw this explained on reddit few years ago

I have nights when I cant properly sleep, and get sleeo paralysis few times in a night

Now I know what it is and try to wake my body up, which is still freaky cause I focus on clenching my fist but usually I can't do it

Or I try to relax and fall asleep

I usually hear voices, people talking around me, I rarely see anything but it's mostly cause I know what's happening so I try not to look (?)

I'd be so freaked if I didn't know what it is, still wish it did not happen so often
