I've been spooked plenty of times in a dream state and have gotten it under control pretty quick. This time was no different.

I willed whatever I thought it was away and everything was fine. It was gone so I smiled at myself at another job well done and was just gonna wait until I could move.

But then... My body started vibrating suddenly. Not shaking but vibrating kind of like a buzz. That thing was touching me now or something I don't know what the fuck but it was happening. I just knew something was going on that I couldn't figure, I wasn't dreaming but I was able to stay out of a fearful mindset, which seems to be the key to ending these scenarios.

There was a time before that, both instances were recent enough, where again in sleep paralysis, I could feel something with what felt like really long fingers sliding down the sides of my head and down my neck. I don't quite remember how long it went on for but again, the key seems to be to not feel fear and just know whatever is going on, is immaterial. Weird stuff man.

Curious to know if you notice the same thing happening to you at all or see if you are able to discern if the same thing happens, I use to suffer them fairy regularly and when i would 'become aware' in my sleep, that i was just about to experience an episode, i would always hear dogs somewhere in the neighbourhood barking (or sometimes cats doing that terrible screeching) in the distance - not the 'usual' one or two barks but incessant barking when the animal is spooked or becomes super aggressive - it became the one thing that stood out to me and let me know the 'sleep paralysis' was just about to begin, totally freaky stuff.

It's not like a recurring dream if that's what you're asking? Usually, if I do get paralyzed, nothing happens aside from getting freaked out that I can't even open my eyes.

Oh yeah, no not like a recurring dream. I would became aware exactly when the sleep paralysis sensation was about to begin - and it always coincided (like 90% of the time it seemed like) with hearing the neighborhood dogs ferociously barking and going off/ or a cat loudly screeching - then i would be fully immersed in the paralysis until i could 'break' out of it. Guess it was just me then ....
