I understand not being able to move and feeling like you can’t breathe, since your body is still in sleep mode. But why do sufferers so often see or even hear things that are so absolutely terrifying? Is it something to do with REM sleep? If so, why is it always frightening things? (I don’t know about other people, but my one experience with sleep paralysis scared me way more than any nightmare I’ve ever had, although that seems to be true for most from what I’ve read of others’ experiences.)

On the subject of nightmares & sleep paralysis,
I once had a bad episode, I woke up paralyzed, but I see myself get out of bed? And I walk to the mirror on the wall in front of my bed and stare at myself.
But then we both make eye contact, and I’m trying to scream but I can’t, but the ME that got out of bed is.
I finally snapped out of it, cried and ran to my parents room.
The creepy part is, the scream it let out was demonic.
The brain is fucked
