And you were most likely wrong. Feelings of heavyness are not a symptom of sleep paralysis. The feeling of being crushed down is, however.

It is very common for hypnagogic images to accompany sleep paralysis.
That's completely irrelevant, and a good example of faulty logic. By analogy it is very common for fever to accompany influenza, but that does not mean that you call any fever "influenza". What exactly do you gain by conflating established terms in this way?

The "strong fear" part has been reported to occur during SP, but it is not a common enough of an occurrence to be relevant in this discussion.
Really? Care to cite any references?
