When I was trying to lucid dream, I had a sleep paralysis experience. Having researched it, the fear that comes with it was repressed by my fascination by what was going on. I don't recall feeling crushed, but it was more difficult to breathe and I couldn't move. My body felt heavy. It was weird... I tried to move my arm, and I _felt_ it move up, but it was like a ghost arm. My arm actually did not move at all. I avoided looking around my room and kept my eyes shut, because I knew there was a possibility of hallucinations and I didn't want to panic. I tried quickly opening and closing my eyes, scrunching my face, because I had read that that was supposed to be a fail safe method of getting out of sleep paralysis. It didn't work, so I started wiggling my toes and slowly worked up to kicking my legs. Eventually I was able to sit up, which broke the paralysis. Before I did I was curious and opened my eyes to look around my room. To my right there was a shadowy black-cloaked figure with a skull head in a hood. It was pretty sweet. I want sleep paralysis to happen to me again, because I want to try using it to enter a lucid dream. I wasn't successful any other way.
Sleep paralysis is it normal?
