so I just went through Sleep paralysis for 1st time?

I think I just had a case the other night because it felt like I was awake in my bed it was dark and I couldn't move anything sep my eyes and there was something to my left like all black figure waving its hand with long *** fingers in my face scarring me to **** because it lookes like a demon and my biggest fear is to get raped in my bed while I cant move ( naturally ) so I just went back to sleep ( cant move anyway why be awake for it right?) well besides the following weid *** dreams I had that night everthing was fine in the morning.

so my question is... is Sleep paralysis normal or should i be worried. what makes you prone to sleep paralysis in the first place and how often should I exspect to have it happen to me ( if it is normal)

    From my research in the past, sleep paralysis happens to 4% of the population. Within the 4%, some people get it all the time and some have only experienced it once or twice. I don't know how old you are but if this is the first time, you probably don't need to worry about it happening all the time. If it does happen again, just wait it out in hopes for a lucid dream or focus on moving your little pinky finger to make it stop. There is nothing to worry about and you don't need to seek out a doctor because western medicine cant really explain it. I've had it my whole life and it use to really freak me out but now I know the stuff I see is just in my head and usually it turns into a lucid dream which is amazing and worth the sleep paralysis.

    Good Luck and happy dreaming
