If you can convince yourself not to be afraid, sleep paralysis can truly be an experience to look forward to. I had one extremely disturbing experience with it, which was a terrifying premonitory nightmare (and the events did come to pass later), but the others have been both sublime and enlightening. If you are bringing fear into the experience, you will continue to encounter unpleasant, negative, or destructive aspects. If you embrace it and leave any fear out of it, you can have wonderful and insightful experiences. Don't be afraid, have no fear.

It could have been so much worse...

What are the symptoms before hand, I've never hear of this.

Ah, waking up during R.E.M. sleep. I've never experienced it, but I've heard about it, and it sounds scary >~

when sleep paralysis happens you have to try and relax. be aware of yourself. you'll start moving again. that shit sucks and can be scary. I've had this happen to me since I was little. you gotta calm your mind...best of luck op...

Why would anyone think you deserve this? wtf people?

sleep paralysis is common you were so deep in your sleep you were still seeing your dream as you wake up, but you were technically still asleep, it just so happened you were looking at the ceiling.

God damn ive never heard of this before but after reading this and peoples stories in comments i really wished i skipped this fml :(

I know your pain, last that had happened to me i thought i was being abducted by aliens.

Thanks comment section I didn't need sleep before a test anyways. On a side note, really glad that's sleeping my stomach now
