I used to have sleep paralysis too. It would always happen the nights after my Qi Gong classes. One night I had a dream/episode through the eyes of my great-great grandma (didn't realize who it was until I did some research during the following days after). Man, was it vivid. I followed what this woman did for one entire day. I could recall the details of her house, the people she came in contact with. As the day came to an end, it was like my consciousness was being recalled and that's when the freaky hallucinations started happening until I could wake myself up. I know how scary it can be to be awake behind your closed eyelids and hear demonic voices around you. I would also get a stabbing pain in my spine.

Experiencing the dream was totally amazing. When I learned about her life, the details of the dream coincided with these facts. But I could never do it again, although I had that paralysis multiple times afterward. I had to stop going to my Qi Gong class and I started sleeping in a different room so the sleep paralysis would stop. Sorry your paralysis comes back sometimes. No one knows how terrifying it is until they've experienced it.

The hag syndrome. I suffer from it too - but haven't had an episode in years. I always thought having dealt with the condition that it afforded me more control over my dreams, but freaking time travel? Do the hags come with or is this where they're from?

If you want to try this, it's best to stump up the dollars and spend a few days at the Monroe Institute.

The trick is to not be afraid. I know that is way harder than I made it sound.

Had similar issues.

Always had SP and night terrors as a child on through adult hood. Was terrified to sleep alone (even as an adult). Never slept as a kid. Aliens and ghost always hoovering over me, looking at me around corners.

I use to NOT be able to smoke weed because Id get panic attacks hullucinate and see crazy things.

Id also get random panic attacks (stone cold sober) and start hullucinating. It was horrible. Felt like dying. Very embarrassing in public. (Sound like a nut case lol)

One day, I just got tired of it. I realized I had to get over the root of all fears, and that is, the fear of dying. That was.. a long, rough journey.

Eventually I was able to accept my mortality. One day, I will die, and thats okay. Took a lot of faith in god, in a higher power. I was able to surrender.

Never had a panic attack ever again. I can smoke all I want. I can LD or go to sleep all alone like a big girl now lol, and it doesnt bother me.

Iv even tried to trigger the hullucinations, just to see, (I could probably even enjoy them now) but I cant even smoke them into exsistance anymore. Psychology is interesting.
