#4 Sleep paralysis can also happen to people trying to get to, or back to sleep. This happens to me quite often once a month or more (runs in the family) it's not fun at all when it happens but very cool to look back and reflect on. To me it seems like only parts of my brain are active when it happens, the part that is paranoid and scared, think primitive brain. Often I see some glowing green light flashing just before it happens. Very often I try to scream and nothing comes out just air, and I can't move at all, sometimes my eyes are able to open though usually not. Often it feels like something is pressing on my back, if my eyes are stuck closed I often feel like I'm wrapped in some membrane and can't get free, I'm a stomach sleeper and never get it when sleeping on my back. I've hallucinated stuff in this state of sleep that could give most horror movies a run for their money, seen ghosts glowing through walls, and felt pressed to the bed hallucinating that I'm being eaten by something like crows, or just the feeling of being surrounded by menacing eyes staring at me while I remain paralyzed in the dark. Sleep paralysis has been said to be what makes people believe they've been abducted by aliens, I've definitely experienced that one enough to believe it's probably the cause. As much as this condition filled me with terror as a kid, I've come to see it as a gift now, most people need to take drugs to experience this kind of stuff.
