When I 1st got into LDing Id never heard about the old hag, and when I spoke to my friend and sister who have both had sleep paralysis they said they'd never experience the old hag, but were both extremely terrified of the paralysis. My sister says that when she gets sleep paralysis its connected with her having OBE's, she said she believed she was dieing when it happened, I had to explain to her what OBEing was haha, I was like wow. My friend has lucid dreams all the time and if he gets sleep paralysis he said he panics and trys his hardest to get out of it, kinda like being tied to a rail way track and trying to escape is how he described it lol.
