I've experienced sleep paralysis before. It sucked. I woke up in the dead of night, could hardly see a thing. My eyes popped open because I thought I heard the door open and shut. There was a shadow across the room. It loomed as high as the ceiling, looked vaguely humanoid and made it's way up to me. That was when I realized I couldn't move. I tried to yell, I couldn't believe my eyes, but my body just wouldn't move. Panic washed over me as I thought I felt it reach out to touch me. That was the last straw. Through what felt like soup, I FORCED my arm up, yelped and promptly fell out of the bed on the side I thought I was being attacked. By the time I fought out of my blanket of course, there was nothing but me. Alone and feeling very confused. It happens more when you're dehydrated, I learned later.
Have you experienced sleep paralysis?

Had quite a similar experience. Learned that trying to rapidly blink helps too.
Same experience shadow n all. short of I kinda freaked and said "oh god" three times. Snapped out of it.
