      Question Sleep Paralysis

      So, last night actually "this morning", I had over 10 paralysis' in the middle of the night. During one of the occurrences I saw a weird figure standing over my bed and I couldn't move at all, or even say anything, my heart was beating at a tremendous rate. I just wanna know what is going on, I get these every once and a while. But last night was by far the weirdest paralysis experience I have ever had.

      Wait... I thought you could only have sleep paralysis during/around a REM cycle... How did you get 10?
      Bollocks.

      You are confusing REM atonia and sleep paralysis. REM atonia is the natural paralysis of your body during REM sleep. Sleep Paralysis is when atonia occurs outside of the REM cycle.

      Oh... I always thought that you had to just come out of REM to be caught in sleep paralysis (as in, aware that you are there, but can't move.).
      Bollocks.

      Well yes, but the fact that it's occurring while you're no longer in REM sleep is what makes it, then, sleep paralysis. Unfortunately the term is a little ambiguous, is often incorrectly used by people, and often attributed to experiences where people don't even try to move and find they are paralyzed, let alone when they can say for a fact what stage of sleep or wakefulness they were in.

      If you haven't, check out Thor's thread, it does a pretty good job of laying out all the facts so that you can decide what you think SP is and how you wanna use it.

      Well, I knew just not moving was different than not being able to move...

      But thanks, I'll check that out.
      Bollocks.

      Well I meant that a lot of people feel or see HH and say that they were in SP. But if they didn't try to move and find that they were paralyzed, how could they possibly know that they were in SP or not? Especially since SP can happen without HH, and HH can happen without SP.

      Sadly, I know about HH without SP...

      In one of my recent WILD attempts, I had HH, but I itched my nose out of reflex...
