Last night while trying to fall asleep I had a sleep paralysis episode. I heard a distorted white noise and felt flushed in the face while not being able to move, the usual when I it happens to me. When it subsided I tried to fall asleep again, but this time I could almost feel that it was happening again, but could stop it if I opened my eyes. I let it happen anyway but after it ended I was in a dream. I was still in the dark in my bed face down, but I was incredibly weak and when I tried to turn the light on it didn't work. I would eventually wake back up from this, but it would happen at least 3 more times that night. What was happening?
