sleep related sort of like paralisis. i can remeber when i was young i would lay on my back and try to get to sleep it seemes that sometimes i would get sleep paralisis but nothing bad happed ever, possibly just some bright sparkley pastel lights, fourming little shapes sometimes, the most complex was a book though, like thoughs kinds of baby books made out of cardboard. i can remeber this happening allot in my childhood about primary school age five to about eight or nine probably.also i know it's common for shit to be a trick of the light but as i was in this position and there was alittle leaway for me to move my head in it, i don't know how but yes i could still see my room quite clearly. my toys perched ontop of my dolls house would move very fluidly it didn't seem quiet right to me but even the doll i had as a child it's features would move very clearly. it's strange that i have never told anyone about it but i'm just curious whether anyone else has had this kind of experiance.

Sleep paralysis?I've got a lot of experience with this phenomena, and mostly it scared me to death when it happen. It's pretty scary when you supposed to be awake but had a hard time awaking from your dream (all your senses except sight is active, but you can't move a muscle). It takes a lot of will power to awaking from sleep paralysis (for me...).The chance of sleep paralysis increasing when i sleep facing a wall in my room (or in any room).The most frightening sleep paralysis i encounter so far is when i was dreaming my own death. It's scary enough to keep me awake for the rest of the night. And at that time, my whole body feels a little bit numb, and i can't forget that sensation....i always wondered did i really died and come back to live that night. Unfortunately no one could give me answer >__<

I wonder, do you instincitvely know it is paralysis or do you try to move and then realize its paralysis? I do the whole hypnagogia thing every time I try to sleep, but I never really move while I'm in between dreams and wakefulness, as I don't want to wake up and ruin all the effort I had trying ti get to sleep.
