Sleep Paralysis

Do anybody here have this "problem".  Im not sure whether or not to classify this "phenomenon" as  a "problem" but i do experience this frequently.  Sometimes its pretty damn scary. Just interested in hearing other people's experiences.

P.S, please share in detail i really am interested in this....really!

When you are in deep rem sleep, you are put in a "sleep paralysis"  many people will wake up during this and classify it as an other worldly experience with an alien life form.  Go look up the documentary UFO's: Fact or Fiction.

When you wake up and cant move?

That has never happened to me but it sounds scary though.

Well for me, the most recent one was about 5 days ago.   I slept over my friend's house along with another person after a night of drinking.  As i was sleeping i felt as if i was slowly waking up.  I realized i couldn't move nor speak and i had a hard time breathing.  At first i thought that this was no unlike the other times i experienced this so i relaxed myself and waited till it passed.  The wierd thing was, i would occasionally "break free" of this and be fully awake, body and mind, for like a few seconds.  Then suddenly i would lose feeling in my body again and be unable to move.  It might have had something to do with the exhaustion caused by alcohol.  I was stuck in this one for quite a while however and i began to panic.  And i swear to God i swear it, but i saw a huge figure walking around the room and touching me and staring at me.  I cannot stress how much i swear on that part because i nearly cried and i was freaking out like never before.  When i came to finally, everything was normal.   All i felt was the tingling sensation from what i think was just pure panic.  

That was by far the scariest thing thats ever happened to me.  Once again i am not exaggerating this story one bit.

For years now I've experienced sleep paralysis.  It's certainly a scary event.  Over time I've learned to understand the event and deal with it. 

Before I somewhat understood of what sleep paralysis consists, I often awoke in frightened fits.  My experiences included visions of demons or aliens.  I usually think that people who claim alien abductions are experiencing what I did at one time. 

Sleep paralysis is something altogether different , confusing, and scarier than most have experienced.

Yes, to those who've not experienced it,  it's that strange.

I also would like to add that for me, i would usually pray like my life depended on it and it usually calms me down a bit and i feel like it helps me break free better.

ive had it a few times, nothing lately though and its only happened about 4/5 times in the last year and never before. usually end up screaming [whether i want to or not] to wake myself up out of it
oh & the shadow people are fucking freaky

Yea Its very scary indeed, some times im struggling to get it for like 4 minutes

Never happened to me and I hope it never does.

My mother told me she had it on multiple occasions. Then her mother thought she was possesed by a demon and called a priest ( I'm not joking, it's a shinto thing here in Japan )

Aww thats happend a few times to me
Not fun =(

It's happened to my mother on a few occasions, but she's never mentioned seeing "things". Sounds like pretty scary stuff.

Sleep Paralysis happens to every human on the planet, it's just that most people aren't awake for it. Basically, during REM sleep, your brain is almost fully active. The most vivid and easily remembered dreams happen in REM sleep for this reason. However, when you move in dreams, you actually fire real neural impulses, and the only thing that keeps you from acting out your dreams is this paralysis.

When the paralysis fails, sleep-walking and such similar conditions occur.
