    No, but I know this is a very strange thing to say and I know... I just know that people who have already experienced it will tell me I should never say this, but back off okay... I do actually want to experience it once in my life just to see how it is, I have watched youtube videos of a channel called Daidus and he described his experience with it, which made me curious about how it would be, because I also had stories from friends in my previous school that got it a lot and they said they didn't get any serious issues other than not being able to move for a long time, so no nightmare apparitions or anything.

    But every time I say I would like to experience it, someone always says you never want to experience it or it isn't that big a deal, well guess what? I want that experience too, so that I can also see how it is, I don't want an opinion on those things, I want to determine how my own feelings react to it, not yours.

    ALL THE TIME!! In the beginning it was really scary, but I've had it now for years, and probably have experienced it over 50 times (at least). My heart starts racing, I see things that aren't there, hear things, feel things etc. A lot of times I realize it's happening and don't feel as scared as I used to. The other day I saw my dad in another room down the hallway (he was really there) and a woman in the middle of my room, who wasn't there. I realized right away that she wasn't real. I have a method now to snap out of it.

    I've had many experiences that I can go into more details with if you're interested in it.

    Have experienced it a number of times and as you say can be quite terrifying. My first experience of it was as a child. I awoke not being able to move but there was a scaly skinned humanoid figure at the bottom of the bed with burning red eyes. I can remember the terror I felt and I must have screamed or cried out as the next thing was my mum and dad trying to comfort me. That's the only time I've seen a figure. Other times it's that feeling of not being able to move like there is someone or something in the bed holding me. Hate it.

    Yup many times... it was terrifying at times i felt like I was being possessed... Luckily i didn't have for a good time now... It normally happens with me if i sleep when I'm very tired or the opposite very not-tired... Or when I fell asleep by accident and sleep heavily.. Or when I'm very pissed and angry before I sleep..

      @SnakeBoop that sounds terrible, really a cherry on the cake type of thing.

      My ex wife had a few with her pregnancy.

      I wonder how common they are

      it sucks, especially like when I wake up, and I can see my partner is within touching range if I could "JUST" reach out. But being frozen and feeling that pressure on your chest/person standing over you... it's fucking gnarly XD

    Once, a few years ago. I could've experienced it again a few months ago, but that time felt more like a dream than sleep paralysis. 🤔

    Yes actually I do get that every now and then. I remember the first time it happened that I was around maybe 22 and I thought it was very strange. I was like in a state between sleeping and being awake, and I could NOT move.

    Yeah a fair bit.

    it’s either normal nightmares, nightmares within nightmares, or for pure shits n giggles, sleep paralysis.

    my worst ever was as a kid and a figure on the stairs talking to me.

    A couple times actually. It was freaky the first time but what I hated both times was I didn't know how to make it end. So you worry about it not ending.

    Well I did see a giant finger in my bed once but I was awake. And while “asleep” I saw myself in third person. I don’t think I ever have, but there are other things that are a little difficult to explain
