Can you explain what happened to my mind??? Lucid dream >> sleep paralysis

A couple years ago I was sleeping soundly with my girlfriend. I had read about lucid dreaming in the past, always wanted one. So in my dream that night I was walking around an empty house, the emptiness and foreigness of the building triggered the realization that it was just a dream. So at that point I decided to shoot through the roof and soar through outer space. This lasted for just a few moments before I was awakened. As I laid there in my bed I tried to move my limbs but they felt like they weighed a million pounds a piece. All I could do were move my eyes and scope out my bedroom. This had happened to me before so I wasn't frightened. I just enjoyed the experience for what it was.
But as I laid there I began to hear and hallucinate things. My bedroom door was shut and all the lights were off in the house. However, I began to see a light flicker from the slit under the door. I then began to hear what sounded like a horse galloping through water from a distance until it arrived at my door. I then began to notice a ghostly figure hovering to my right, just outside my periphery so I couldn't see sharp details. I began to freak a little bit more when I felt hands grabbing me legs and working their way up to my neck. After that happened a voice whispered into my left ear, between my girlfriend and I, "you're going to hell"
After hearing that I started moaning and grunting. Anything I could do to wake up my girlfriend. She woke up and pushed my body which snapped me out of the paralysis.
Anyone ever have a similar experience? During this time of my life I was taking pain pills recreationally and using psychs occasionally

Yes... I have been since a kid and always sensed it was something else but didn't read anything until 8 then again now in my twenties.
I used to get the paralization and thought it was someone different as it was quite demonic. My mum had me tested and I was completely sane so it really scared me.
It stopped for a while around 14 when a friends mum told me a basic prayer to say that was pretty much self empowering.
As an adult I find I more instantly fall asleep and enter a dark empty abyss where there are other but some not so aware. I did one night Pierce through the roof that was like a black sheet and ended up in what i thought was space....
I've also had breathing between my partners head and mine and we both realized at the same time it wasn't the other person.
Its all learning and it gets great the more you find yourself and inner courage.

as you said, you had been dabbling with psychedelics, so your usual clearly demarked phasing between waking consciousness transitioning to resonant sleep consciousness and back has been shimmed, by enjoying the intermingling waking and resonant consciousness through lsd and weed.
the expected compartmentalization of intensely resonant dream experiences to sleeping is no longer 100% the norm, i.e. pandora's box has been left open a bit.
so, now, while transitioning from deep sleep to waking, you allow a mix of waking persona with dreaming persona.
Enjoy it while it lasts.

What in the fuck are you talking about?
Just because we're in the philosophy sub doesnt mean you have to use words you clearly have no experience in using. Or else you do, and you always come across as desperately trying to sound smart.

He had a lucid dream followed by sleep paralysis. The hallucinations are common complaints about sleep paralysis.

Most brilliant mind on the shroomery isnt saying much.
But you read that post and tell me it doesnt reek of try hard smarminess. The type of person at a party lecturing people on chakras whilst sipping a microbrew.

But he isn't just talking out of his ass. He has a whole unified theory about consciousness that you don't know. It is really brilliant and you won't find it in a library or school anywhere.
Check out some of his past posts if you have the time.

Statements like this make me seriously question your definition of the word brilliant.

I suspect it would take more than that to conjure up a unified theory on one of the least understood mechanisms of the natural world.
But hey, different strokes.
