I've had sleep paralysis before in my dreams and shortly after waking up, but if I try hard enough, then I can break through and stop it, and I can move around. It uses up a lot more energy though, and I have to keep moving, because if I stop moving, I'll go back into sleep paralysis. Am I special or something?

Yes. I used to get sleep paralysis all the time. I couldn't move and eventually I could move if I tried hard enough just like your description. That's pretty common. Don't worry they're just dreams.

Go to the Doctor and ask him/her to help you overcome this type of paralysis. I would not go through Life with it, if there is a way to heal it. Maybe you enjoy feeling "special' and that is why this paralysis continues. Think about that for awhile, and see if there is some way to make a change.
