There was a period in my life during which, for some reason, I started experiencing sleep paralysis. One afternoon I woke up from a long nap and I couldn't move. I felt like I was literally going to die. It's a strange feeling and I'm not sure how I would describe it to someone who's never felt it. Try to imagine that someone is holding a gun to your head and could pull the trigger any moment. I didn't see or hear anything, but I could sense a presence, located somewhere above my head. Whatever it was, it was the source of my fear. It's like it was emanating this strong killing intent. I knew it wasn't real because I'd experienced sleep paralysis before, but even knowing that, it was overwhelming. As soon as I could move, I got up and ran out of the room.
The one and only time I experienced sleep paralysis. It was very strange and frightening because it felt very real. I never want to experience it again. It felt like an out-of-body experience and I also feel everything done on my body. I was looking down over my body and couldn't move. There was a presence that felt dangerous and unfriendly. This thing was "molesting" me and I was sweating so much from fear. I remember waking up, not daring to move and willing myself to fall asleep again to get this over and done with.
