I have been dealing with sleep paralyses for some time now. The overwhelming feeling is that I can't move (obviously.) However, at times I have been able to extort this dream state to my benefit, and extend the sleep stage into a new zone. I have extended it into a lucid dream where I just walked into to the kitchen, tried the lights, not working. Then it turned on me. A glowing white girl attacked me in the dream. This not what I was planning. My question to the forum is this. Is there a way to continue to use sleep paralyses to my favor, i.e. extend in to lucidity? The frequency of the sleep paralyses is about once a week to every two weeks. Is there any way to escape the Old Hag that appears to haunt me at times? I would rather have fun than suffer, you know?
