I’ve had sleep paralysis around once a month for years, some times I get multiple episodes a night. After so long I’ve noticed waking up into sleep paralysis kinda just sucks and is something I have to either accept or try to force my way out of. But, then there’s the times when I’m trying to fall asleep. I’ll lay down and when I’m getting tired I can tell I’m finna be paralyzed because I get this feeling of sand flowing all over me, some times I hear a bell toll when I can no longer move. I know it’s just hallucinations from the dreamscape but it happens every time and was wondering if anyone else had a similar experience.
On a side note one time I felt the sand start to fall and said to my self “not today” and I sat straight up, eyes open and completely awake, then I heard the bell toll and fell straight back paralyzed, only happened once but its was crazy to be completely aware and active then get sleep paralysis.
