No no no, nothing like that. It's basically just SP (sleep paralysis), during which you feel a sensation of pressure on your chest, as if someone (the "old hag") were sitting on you or holding you down. |

Supposedly the ‘old hag’ mythology of the mad ugly old women standing over your bed, pressing on your chest has changed today into ‘Alien abductions’. |

"I was looking back to see if you were looking back at me to see me looking back at you".

For the most part, it has nothing to do with lucid dreaming. If you were lucid dreaming, you should be able to tell that the old hag is a creation of the mind. It is the fear of not being able to move that makes you think that something evil has control over you. I think so anyway. |

So let me get this straight, the old hag myth is when the old lady presses on your chest... the feeling you get when you become lucid???? |

I'd say no. Most people enter lucid dreams while they are in deep sleep. Sleep paralysis is when your mind wakes up while your body is still in a sort of conservative sleep mode. So you are paralyzed for a few moments untill your body reverts to it's fully awake and alert condition. It is when you are paralyzed that you can have halucinations of an evil being holding you down. |
