I suffer from sleep paralysis quite often, although it seems to be getting less as I get older.
I hate it when you can't move and it takes all the strength in your body to move one finger in order to wake you up.
Best of all is when you are paralysed, then levitate, feeling the air rush past your face, then can even touch the cold ceiling behind you, then you gently float to the floor and feel the carpet beneath your feet. It's only when you realise you are wearing pyjamas you had when you were 10 years old that it isn't real. You then hit the bed with a large 'thump' yet the bedclothes are undisturbed.
This sounds trippy and is bizarre but is completely normal and usually hereditary.
Some of the 'hallucinations' experienced involving all senses whilst stuck in this semi conscious limbo give a good insight into just how powerful the mind really is.
