I've had sleep paralysis with hallucinations of dark shady creatures. The last one was some kind of Yoda looking motherfucker that sat next to the head of my bed a couple feet away from my face. I've never had one get on me, though. The most they usually do is pull on my covers.

Kada said: The man in black.
I use to have these dreams ever single night. I would wake up and couldn't move at all. I would feel like something was there and I would be terrified beyond belief. I would go in and out of sleep just scared to death. When I would come out of it I would wake up screaming and terrified.
One night I was having these night terrors and I wasn't scared at all, I was just pissed off. When I slipped back to sleep to have whatever nightmare that brought these on I was restrained by a man in all black. He started taunting me and telling me that he was going to kill my family after he killed me. I didn't get scared, I got pissed. I couldn't move because he was using some force to hold me down like usual, so I let my rage build and I used it to turn into some sort of dragon made from light. I roared and broke free of his hold and he ran like a mother fucker. When I caught him he shot some sort of fire at me but I laughed because fire didn't hurt a dragon. I bit that son of a bitch in half and spit him back out and roasted him to charred bones.
I woke up as my dragon roared. I still remember what it felt like to be a dragon. I never had night terrors again. I didn't get scared, I got pissed and fought it in my dream.
I know crazy story but it really happened. Now If I start feeling this feeling of being held down in my sleep I wake up pissed and I jump out of bed ready to fight. It's annoying and strange, but it goes away because I feel like I refuse to give in to the fear.
Sounds far out and weird? I have dreams every night that are fucked up and I remember them very very well. I am usually in some sort of control of myself in dreams and are aware that I'm dreaming. I couldn't imagine being like my wife and remembering nothing at all about dreams.
I still dream about this man in all black, but usually I'm fighting him and I don't freak out about it in my sleep anymore. I still remember the power of the dragon and it makes me feel safe in my dreams.
Super weird I know. I have weird dreams every night that would make anyone think I was out of my mind.

my dreams are pretty intense too, but most of the time i wake up loving the experience they give me.

I get sleep paralysis somewhat often.
Its never bothered me.
Some of my dreams have the habit of evolving themes over time. Now when i get sleep paralyzed and things choke me, they also cause me what feels like physical pain. stabbing me in the ears/eyes, squishing my head or what have you. The most recent time this happened i laughed at whatever it was i thought was causing me pain and said something along the lines of "this is the best you can do? you'll never change me".
Back in the day i used to fight these things successfully. for some reason i just stopped fighting when that stuff happens. Most times i can still "get up" in my dream body.
I don't know, i don't think there is any entity, sleep paralysis doesn't scare me, i find it enjoyable most of the time.
i didn't realize the idea of it being some sort of ghost thing was so culturally widespread. I'm going to have to think about this for awhile. my assumption from pretty early on was that its feeling my real physical body, and also feeling the virtual body my mind makes in dreams at the same time. When they're close to in sync, and both giving me sensory input, it creates confusion distortion. If you have two bodies in the same space and one of them is staying still and the other is wiggling around and trying to move of course its going to feel weird.
anyhow...
i decided most of the stuff like this is the brain's way of making sense of something that is doesn't fall under the normal waking spectrum. I dunno, my dreams told me people take stuff that doesn't have 3d/physical analogs and translate it into something they can experience. I would agree with that. The translation just gets fucked up because monkey brains are made for the waking world, by and large. also explains the similarities between people's descriptions, because monkey brains are relatively homogeneous.

I love sleep paralysis. I wish it would happen more often. It's been years since I've been able to enjoy it.

I deliberately shoot for sleep paralysis, either to practice astral projection (slipping into a dream consciously) and to meet with yet another creature.
Did you ever get a creature feature in your sleep paralysis?

I had an elf by the bed as a teenager. It was cool shit. Later in life, I used to play hitman before bed to get cool hitman dreams, but I haven't been able to induce sleep paralysis.

What works best for me, to induce sleep paralysis is to wake early, spend an hour behind the PC and then go back to bed and try to doze in and out of sleep.

Is this considered sleep paralysis....? I open my eyes while in bed...I cannot move but feel an evil presence. Now, I see the ceiling and things around me. Later I wake up.... thinking it was a dream. Now, am I really waking up and opening my eyes?

So you guys think these things are actual beings?
I would think its more a sort of archetypal projection

I had it happen to me once but without the being sitting on my chest. I just woke up from a dream and couldn't move which was really scary. I just kept trying to scream help but all I could get out was a kind of hhhh hhhh whisper. Like I could breathe and force my breath out like I was trying to talk but I couldn't move my lips.
Another time after mdma binges and lack of sleep I would have these crazy and realistic nightmares as I was falling asleep. It was like my mind tried to start dreaming before my body actually fell asleep. The one I really remember was the time I was laying down to sleep and I dreamt that a car crashed into my house and jolted me awake. I'm getting off topic now but I definitely know the kind of mindstate that leads to the sleep paralysis.

Quote:
Sadly, alps within the Witcher universe aren’t nearly as wonderful as their mythic counterparts. In The Witcher, they exist as little more than blade-fodder for Geralt. Seen as scaley, naked women, they tend to behave more like common vampires than the beasts from which they share their name. In German folklore, however, alps become infinitely more interesting. Though they are sometimes likened to vampires, they are infact more closely related to the traditional idea of elves (alp is even a variation of the word “elf”).
Contrary to the Witcher, alps are actually male, while “mare” or “mara” tend to be the female version of the same creature. (In German they can be known as “Nachtmahr”). Alps seek out female victims during the night, controlling their dreams and twisting them into horrific nightmares (in German, “Alptraum” or “elf dream” means nightmare).
When alps attack, they sit upon the chest of their sleeping victim, becoming heavier and heavier until the crushing weight forces the sleeper awake. Terrified and breathless, they are unable to move or scream and must wait for the attack to subside. Interestingly, these types of attacks from various creatures are so common across different cultures that the modern belief is that victims were actually suffering from sleep paralysis.
Aside from terrifying night attacks, alps also are known to be quite the mischief makers. They enjoy such perverse acts like putting babies back in soiled diapers, souring milk, and even crushing small farm animals. Oh yeah, remember when I said they’re often likened to vampires? That’s because they like drinking blood from the nipples of men and young children. They also enjoy breast milk too, if that helps at all. At this point, I’m starting to understand why alps weren’t adapted as faithfully into The Witcher universe. Could you imagine a quick-time event to prevent an alp from sucking Geralt’s nipples off?

Wow, yeah I used to have sleep paralysis ALL the time when I was in my late teens, scared the living hell out of me when it first started happening over and over again, then I did a little research and felt more comfortable when in the paralyzed state, I was able to kind of sit there and not try to jerk awake and just kind of figure out what was going on.
80% of the time I can't hear anything except an extremely loud piercing sound, like a trillion glass marbles being drop on a glass table. There's also a very strong full body vibration that I would feel for the entire duration of the "dream" and yeah, I felt completely paralyzed BUT I could still begin to move, only imagine if your movements we're in extremely slow motion, to the point where you wouldn't even be able to notice the movement without a full day time lapse of the limb recorded.
Its been awhile since I had a full blown one I couldn't control, last dozen or so I've had have been more of a nuisance like if I'm trying to go to bed and get a good sleep for work the next day, I feel it set in and I instantly shake free of it no problem and carry on with my sleep.
Now the demons that people mention...
When I had my very first one I literally saw a tall very demonic or alien looking figure walking towards me, again it's even scarier when you can only move an inch an in hour. Anyway this fucking thing walked toward me and stood above me at the side of bed leaning over. Never saw that thing again, the next several 30-50 times or so that it happened I could FEEL a presence around me or in the room I was in, I've even tried communicating with it, I've even been so full of fear that I openly professed to this being that I will be it's evil body on the world. Basically like it bitched me out and I didn't want to die so I said I'd do whatever it wants kinda thing.
I can't say I have felt any presence in a long while but I still end up in the state often, the loud piercing ringing, the heavy vibrations all over, anyway I can't remember if I mentioned it but I don't mind having them anymore, I kind of prefer it sometimes because it makes me feel different the following day if I can bring myself to spend enough time in that state.
Fucking shit is nuts.
