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.
