I've experienced sleep paralysis. I think many have. Indeed, the first couple of times I experienced it I struggled to regain control of my body... it felt so disquieting. Later, when I heard that it was a natural condition, a natural experience brought on by the brain attempting to inhibit the body from thrashing about in preparation of sleep cycles, I feared it less. As literature suggested I noticed my experiences tended to be brought on when I attempted to sleep during a portion of the day when I did not normally sleep, like in the afternoon. I began to explore the experience. Not so frightening anymore. I rarely experience them these days, but then I don't seem to have time for a nice afternoon nap! :-( It sometimes feels like it could be a window into other "realities" if I could maintain my sense of self-awareness as paralysis and consciousness is experienced simultaneously, but typically I just fall asleep. Oh well. Maybe next time. ;-) Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
