Oh yes, for years, until I figured it out.
The next time it happens, relax completely. Just flop. Fighting the paralysis is no good . . . it's painful and upsetting. If you relax, the feeling will go away in a minute or two.
Whether or not you experience an OBE is up to you. The theory is that you ARE having an OBE when you have sleep paralysis, it's just that sometimes you remember it, and sometimes you don't. I"m not so sure about that theory . . . I think sometimes you can have sleep paralysis and just get stuck, and not go anywhere. I'm not 100% positive, though.
I used to hear a LOT of noise during my sleep paralysis states, and it was very alarming. There is that word "alarm"! I think it's normal for beginners to hear a lot of racket during their projections.
Imagine it this way. Your early projections can be likened to an old car in need of a major tuneup, starting up on a very cold day. Later projections can be compared to a quiet little motorbike buzzing about.
At any rate, if sleep paralysis is part of your life you have come to the right place by visiting this forum. Welcome aboard!
