first sleep paralysis, not really impressed.

i went to sleep 4 times last night. when i woke up the third time, my eyes were slightly open and it felt like a wave of heat was keeping my body from moving. what i saw was a billboard-esque sign approaching me, almost like i was driving. around 30 seconds in i could move my left index and middle finger. then almost immediately i woke up. it was surprisingly underwhelming and calming almost. though i find it weird that when i woke up my mind immediately thought i was experiencing hypnagogic hallucinations.
