Introduction

I'm a sufferer of sleep paralysis  and unfortunately not one of  the lucky few who say they were only scared until they found out there was something many other people are experiencing, almost identical in a lot of cases, not many people report having an experience that didnt involve any  of the 3 commonly reported hallucinations that seem to be shared by most sufferers. 

They say as long as you know its nothing to worry about  you can learn to stop freaking yourself out when it happens, just remind yourself its harmless and will be over soon instead of letting yourself panic and keep trying to wake yourself up, or try to get someone else to wake you up by trying to force out big breaths to get someones attention if someone is with you, and i remember at least one person saying as soon as the initial fear hit them + they realized what was happening or about to happen, theyd start trying to calm themselves down + once they did that the experience actually changed from seeming dark and evil and became a fun happy  experience. 

I can completely understand how that makes perfect sense, the sense of evilness is a result of being so panicked over being unable to move (therefore open to attack....so brain starts creating feeling of danger to prepare for any danger that could potentially be coming while unable to move) so if you convince yourself theres no danger then yeh that should remove the feeling of dread and sensing and evil presence etc......

but for me calming myself down just isnt a possibility, ive been trying for years but i cant because i cant stand it, it feels so awful i cant let myself waste a single second not trying to wake myself up (despite never having much luck with tring to wake myself up....it still seems more realistically possible to wake myself up than to feel that awful sense of doom + somehow make myself not be scared! ) 

Anyway I wanted to create this blog because i've found it extremely interesting at times to just sit and read through everyone elses experiences or just their thoughts and based on how many comments i saw on even a single sleep paralysis article, combined with the lack of understanding most people have when they first experience this and most likely they start looking it up online...........I'm pretty sure it's equally interesting for a lot of sufferers, 

It's a pain having to hunt through different sites all over the internet for more stories  though when you want to read more than you find on one or 2 sites, so I decided to start looking for all the experiences, comments etc all over the  web and post them onto this blog so hopefully i can provide as much reading as anyone could want to read all in one place!
