Thread: HH article on wiseGEEK

I agree. Who wrote this?

Its definition of sleep paralysis is totally off. One is asleep when experiencing sleep paralysis, not awake. When you experience HH, you're awake. I know this because I experience Hynapompic Hallucinations when waking up sometimes and my husband sees me get up and react in fear or curiosity towards the hallucinations. While with sleep paralysis you're not actually awake because if you try hard enough, you can get your "dream body" to move and start lucid dreaming, and your environment is usually a little bit off, like there's an object on the table that isn't there in waking life.

Also, they don't cause serious problems. I've had them since I was a pre-teen and I'm in my twenties now and have never had a problem and my doctor says it's no concern.

Oh gosh, people should not read wiseGEEK for medical advice!

Hallucinations caused by drugs are not HH! This is like an article for two completely different things being mistaken as the same thing.
