Sleep Paralysis

[ShyGuy23]

Hi all,

Last night, in bed, I guess I had fallen asleep, but I woke up unable to move.  I didn't feel like I was out of body, but I was gripped with a horribly intense fear (of what, I don't know), I didn't sense any presence in my room, but was horribly afraid, none the less.

Is this the sleep paralysis I read about or am I losing my mind?  Does anyone have any suggestions, how to kill that horrible fear so I can try an exit technique? (if this was sleep paralysis, that is).

I know my questions may seem a little dumb, but I am really new to this AP stuff.  Thanks in advance!


Peace and love,

Stan

Yuppo that is sleep paralysis without question. Normally when you experiance sleep paralysis you will be struck down by an overwhelming fear mostly based on the fact you cant move and you dont know what is going on and that your body is in an extremely vulnrable position and as you cant move it can be freaky.

One of the other attributes of sleep paralysis is that you dont normally know what is happening untill later when you wake up properly i.e you may not have fully been aware that you had sleep paralysis (or at least that was the case with me.) What you have to do is focus everything on realising the fact you are paralysed, after you do this you are able to use the paralysis to your advantage just try a normal exit tecnique.

hope this helps.
i know sleep paralysis used to scare the s**t out of me.

also you may have been scared because sleep paralysis often follows a nightmare...
