Experience description:

usually this thing initially started in my teenage when I experienced sleeping paralysis for the first time. I wanted to wake up but no matter how much hard I try I couldn't. this experience wasn't so frequent may be twice a year.

after passing my GCE A-Level, I came to Karachi.  I moved to my uncle's house. I am a timid guy so I use to cover my full body with blanket or cloth sheet while sleeping depending on the season. soon the frequency of sleep paralysis increased and in my efforts to wake up during sleep paralysis one day I realized I am out of my body and I can roam freely this experience was kind of new to me as I can see clearly myself sleeping in blanket and I can roam in room and see things like Clock which is at point that I cant see until I get out of bed and turn around. similarly I can clearly people talking who were out of the room.

As the time passed I started having more frequent such incidence and I started feeling that the range to which I can roam around has gradually increased and I can here things and with blur vision see people outside the room the senses decrease after certain limit but I have heard people and my family members or the maids talking in normal voice which is impossible to be listen from my room due to distance.

from past few days I have experienced same contiguously almost 3 times in 5 days as I have caught cold and have to take blanket. one thing common about the experience that is making me believe that this has something to do with warm temperature is that I wake up from sleeping paralysis when I feel cold air or take somehow my feet or any body part out of blanket my sleeping body wakes up ending up my out of body experience. It usually don't happen when I am sleeping without blanket or in AC or with Fan running on top speed.

Most of the talks that I hear or the visuals I see in this state are confirmed by my family members and therefore I think that are not merely dreams or my illusions its something that is different I am fed-up of these experiences and want to live normal life.
