You can't move, but you're awake and might have hallucinations, wich are often scary. You could hear strange noises and see someone in the room with you, for example. I never had it, but they say it's like this
Sleep paralysis is scary as all f*ck. Screaming at yourself in your head to WAKE UP WAKE UP YOU'RE GONNA DIE IF YOU DON'T WAKE UP.... and being completely unable to move or speak while it's going on. Had it a lot when I was younger, it traumatized the ever loving hell out of me. Chronic insomnia now for years, afraid to go to sleep.
I thought I was possessed by a demon when I had it. I couldn't move but I remember screaming in my head "let me wake up, get off me" and I could hear a demonic growling voice yelling "no!!!!" I was petrified
I belong in Super Weenie Hut Jr.'s
