This has happened quite a few times. I wake up in the middle of the night then go back to sleep and become aware that i am in sleep paralysis because i can't open eyes and i am dreaming, and the dream is always scary. Like last night this man was sneeking up on me, i woke up eventually, lay there for about 2 seconds and i was back in sleep paralysis and another scary dream, i find it very hard to stay awake. Anyone else experience this and how do i become lucid from this point?
