Almost to Sleep Paralysis but fear got me

I almost got too sleep paralysis but as the title says, fear got me. It was the auditory hallucination. It sounded as if someone was walking to my bed when no one was there. Here is how it went:

After 200 breaths, I felt a little tingly but it went away.
After 400 breaths, I felt it again except it kept going.
After 500 breaths, it started spreading to my whole body.
After 600 breaths, it started feeling it was going in my body.
After 700 breaths, it got more intense.
After 800 breaths, I hear auditory hallucination.

I know it's all in my head but it sounds as if someone has a knife and I could hear their footsteps.:eek: I tried thinking something else but the footsteps kept getting louder, so I opened my eyes and shook my body.:? Any tips?

Remember, I know, it's all in my head so don't say that!

I don't know if there is any "tips" for this sorta thing. I'm trying to think... but nothing is coming to mind. I remember when it used to scare me also. I think that after so many times of hearing evil demonic voices before or during SP, i just got used to it. That might be the only way.... besides the obvious, just keep thinking to yourself that it is not real. it is just a dream/hallucination. or put earplugs in so that if you hear something clearly, you know it can't be for real and has to be in your head... that's all i got.

800 breaths?

How long did that take?...

Around 25 to 30 minutes.
