My first experience began when I was young in my teens. I do have to say that it was one of the scariest things that I had ever experienced.
I actually believed that I had been abducted by aliens at that point.
When you are paralyzed there in your bed you suddenly fear the worst. There is nothing you can do. The more you panic the more scarier it gets and you can not break the paralysis.
I also did theorize later of the possibility of ghosts and supernatural beings but I have since changed my outlook. It is a very uncanny feeling when you're in this state.
I have been able to calm myself and release my mind to go in to OBE. I've floated and everything was fine. It was peaceful.
In my experiences, it seems that it was my mind creating the so called supernatural entities. My mind was using everything I knew and threw it at me.
That's what the brain does when you begin to fear the worst. What is the worst thing that can be recalled from your memory? How about a clown? I had that appear once when I was paralyzed.
I'm not afraid of clowns in real life but knowing the fact that most people are, my brain will produce this scenario.
Other things that I've seen in paralysis are duplicated people.
The worst may be the fact that you can not see an enemy but you can feel that it is there. I now believe that it was my mind that created that.People are theorizing that this realm holds spiritual guardians. They are supposedly protecting the realm from intruders.
Whatever happens when you get in to this state, you must remain calm. There are ways to prep your yourself so that the outcome is positive. People call out for angels and protectors and it seems to work for them.
I do not believe in spirits and ghosts but I do think that our minds are capable of extraordinary things.
Perhaps this is a way to communicate with each other. A basis for ESP?
I know that for some people, sleep paralysis is very traumatizing and has become a problem for them. I hope they figure out a method to be rid of it.
For me, I welcome it. I can actually induce it. It fascinates me and it may solve other questions as to why we are here or what is the bigger picture.
As always, Please feel free to comment or rant against me about anything here......
