To begin, I have had sleep paralysis since I was a child. It wasn't necessarily scary in the beginning.
As I grew into an adult, they became more vivid. Well...I wouldn't say they became more vivid, it was more like, my mind was able to comprehend what was going on. I was also able to know what I had to do to have a sleep paralysis experience. It took a while for me to figure out why I was getting them and how to prevent them.
My daughter was a few months old when I began to get them more frequently. My husband would go to work and I would wake up, make him breakfast and then, if my daughter wasn't awake, I would go back to sleep.
If I ever went back to sleep, I would get sleep paralysis.
This took maybe a year or two before I actually realized this was what would cause them to happen.
During those two years, I was terrified of going to sleep, fearing what I saw while frozen.
It was like I was tormented by something inside the house. However, when we moved, it still happened.
These will be detailed accounts on my experiences.
