I did research as much as was possible for me- more out of fear at that point not understanding what on earth was happening to me!? When I would hear the mechanical buzzing in my ears and I couldn't move and I would think that I felt a presence in the room with me. I am a spiritual person and not having any other facts to go on at that time I was afraid I was under the attack of something dark. Now I understand that it isn't anything of the Occult and I have come to manage it the best I can by not flipping out when it happens. However it is still a frightening feeling when I cannot move and I feel like am not alone and I have to talk my self down to letting go and drifting off to sleep. I was in fact exited when I thought that I had found out that it could actually be used as a tool to help with my Lucid dreaming- I feel sad that because I do not have years and years of experience knowing different vocabulary terms I am thought of as an idiot-that is just not true. I don't like to feel that I can't ask honest questions in a place I thought was open to the extraordinary and different.

I never called you anything of the sort! I was referring to people who write long tutorials and just mess up information and confuse people. From your original post and what you said, I have already stated that I think it is possible that you suffer from SP as a disorder (see post #6, "SP is rarer, and it is possible that you suffer from SP as a disorder. If so, there are numerous threads about that will help you learn to transition these frequently occurring episodes into lucid dreams."), and now that you have described it fully I would say that it is definitely sleep paralysis. Nothing else I have said after that was addressed to you, but in answer to other questions. I would never dream of insulting you, and don't worry- you are very much welcome to ask questions. The only thing I am against is people (again, not you, don't worry) who go around answering questions with false statements and posting huge threads full of misinformation when they are not qualified to.
