Looks like everyone here has sleep paralysis, while I am still struggling to get it! but I haven't succeeded yet. I think it's because of my strict sleep pattern, I never take naps and I always go to bed at around 11PM.
But thanks for making this thread, reading all these stories, seems like I am still at lvl 1 for having an OBE
I won't give up though.edit on 6-3-2012 by Jauk3 because: (no reason given)
i have had this happen to me several times in the past few years but nothing as of recent, what brings on SP does anyone know?

I hear ya! But let me ask you this. How could somebody, that is just lying in bed without even thinking of OBEs etc. have an OBE? I understand that you have to physically try to get in this state.
Every 'typical' sleep paralysis, happens without the 'victims' wanting that to happen. Plus they experience the same stuff. Something evil being in the room, being watched etc.

ive had that happen to me and i never even knew that was what SP was, ive never seen anything that freaked me out butn i have had the ability of not being able to move when i eventually wake up which startles me a little bit but never really bothered me.

I think people who experience the creepy stuff are probably still partially asleep. It seems likely to me, because there are times where I get up in the middle of the night to pee, fully conscious and aware of what I'm doing, and I'm still watching bits of my dream, and then I go back to bed and continue on. So even if someone is "awake" and aware of their body being asleep, they could still kind of be in that in between state of dreaming and reality, and the sensations of sleep paralysis (heavy chest, someone holding them down, etc) could freak them out and cause hypnagogic hallucinations.

My SPs, as far as i remember, never occurred during sleep but always just before I fell asleep or was just lying in Bed. It never happened to me that I woke up to a sleep paralysis.

The only positive experience I've had with sleep paralysis is when it's over. Learned from it, that's it, it's never a 'fun' thing.
