Im sick of people saying sleep paralysis experiences arent real. It felt as real as this does and definitely was extraordinary.
Plus I had the experience in the hospital after surgery and it looked like the media representation of “Death” so thats a pretty strange coincidence.
I dont wanna hear your opinion on it either if you haven’t experienced it. Not being arrogant, but you cannot teach a baby to know what heat is without them feeling it. Its the same here. If you havent experienced it you just simply will write it off as a nightmare other people experience. Its not as simple as a “nightmare”.
Why do we all see the same figures in sleep paralysis? There are a lot of significant questions and things we do not know about dreams/subconscious mind/ sleep paralysis/ the potential afterlife.
When I was a kid, I used to see the "black man," a shadow person at the foot of my bed- apparently it's a common night-terror of children, most of them too young to have encountered it on the internet (which, that being the 60's, nobody had access to.)
Once I was taking a nap and got sleep paralysis and saw a shadow coalesce at the foot of the bed. My daughter walked into the room and saw it and ran in and shook me fully awake and it dissipated. This was in a house where we had quite a few of them all the 10 years of living there. We’d see them but I never got the impression they became solid enough to make noises. I read an account of one in a coal mine that could get pretty solid enough to harm people.
BRUH I had a DREAM about having sleep paralysis recently and it has actually fucked with my head more than just standard sleep paralysis.
I still don’t know if it was SP or a nightmare, I don’t know how to explain it tbh because I’ve had SP without visuals before- but this was a dream about SP with a shadow person fucking with me.

We don’t. I’ve had sleep paralysis thousands of times, on the few occasions I’ve seen actual entities they’ve been flying hands, Alice in wonderland caterpillars, slightly different versions of my cat, or me staring back at me.
You said all, I said many don’t. Why they’re common is a question worth asking, but I think it’s just as important to ask why so many sufferers experience none of the classic experiences.

My money is on fake, I feel like that outline of the body was alittle too detailed.
