Had my first (that I remember) experience with sleep paralysis last night. A nightmare, night terror so bad, that when I woke, I was so overcome with fear, I literally could not move.
Couldn’t get up, get out of bed, nothing. I was able to wake my wife verbally, and she took care of the lights, and then brought me back to reality, and helped me out of bed.
The small interesting part though, was that during the event as I slept, I had the underlying distinct feeling that I had been through that “situation” before. (the situation being what was happening in my mind)
Overall it was a God-awful experience, and one I’d be just fine with never going through again.
