What are your guy's experiences with this terrifying yet harmless condition?
I've experienced sleep paralysis since I was a kid, but it wasn't until I was 20 that I was able to put a name to it.
Until recently, I had only experienced the "not being able to move" aspect of sleep paralysis. I would read from people who experienced all sorts of hallucinations, but never had that happen myself. Recently though, my sleep paralysis has started to include those elements. Twice now I have heard "Satanic" sounding voices that add to the scary factor. I've also found myself feeling that I've been violently thrown around in a dream (such as in a car accident or falling), only to awaken not being able to move. This usually happens when I'm taking a nap, and not during overnight sleep.
