Can i just say that this has been happening to me for years and years and it was only today i googled my symptoms. I had no idea what was happening when I felt paralyzed i have loud ringing in my head and horrible horrible nightmares that felt so real because i was awake and could see everything around me. 3 nights ago it was the first time i actually chased something down my hallway all i could hear was the loud banging and i tried to scream to wake myself up but i couldnt. Why would people want to master this? i hate having these experiences. I wish they would stop.
