I'm trying to figure out if I was in sleep paralysis or only dreamed I was. I was lying in bed trying to induce a MILD or WILD then suddenly i have no external awareness and I'm hearing rushing noises. I could no longer hear my fan. I even asked myself if I was dead because it freaked me out a little even though I knew what the rushing noises were. Has anything jumped straight to rushing noises without feeling the body shifting into paralysis, vibrations, etc.?
