[kj] OT~ sleep paralysis?

[fatpotanga]

had it lots & lots & lots & lots.
I'm tired & can't be arsed typing but had some very scary shit happen.

apparently your body naturally paralyses itself when you enter deep  
sleep to stop you thrashing & hurting yourself I guess.
sometimes you wake up while your paralysed so in a sense you are  
awake but asleep at the same time.

some people have experienced rather nasty things in this state.
Like I said, I've had a huge amount of them - the last one a month or  
so ago & they never get any better,
where you are attacked/assaulted it's also referred to as, amongst  
other things, the dream demon or entity attacks.
try googling those.

will maybe type some up when I get 5
