Thread: The "Evil" in SP

I'm curious, does anyone have theories on why hypnagogic imagery associated with SP almost always seems to be of a negative nature?

Fear of the unknown. It just appears to be negative because you dont know what it is. I used to see these little black shadow heads flying around the room letting out these mad screeching sounds and things like that but whats negative about them?

Its an automatic reaction for me to get scared when im half asleep but once I let the fear pass all sorts of mad things happen. One time I saw a big display of multicolored lasers shooting out from all over the place. That was anything but negative. Thats when everything goes black though.

you can't open your eyes in sleep paralysis right?

Yeah you can. Usually the first thing you can move is your eye lids.
