Scary Sleep Paralysis

So, until last week, I hadn't had any sleep paralysis episodes since my last post on the subject. That's a long time!

Anyway, About 7 days ago I had my first Sleep Paralysis episode in weeks (maybe months?). I hallucinated that my husband was trying to choke me. Several times I woke up from the Paralysis, but I didn't move quickly enough and fell back asleep, back into the same episode... It was exhausting. I felt like I could barely breath as I hallucinated his hands around my neck. It was scary, even though I knew it was the Sleep Paralysis.

The next night I had another episode. This time my husband was again wrapping his hands around my neck, but he wasn't trying to choke me... he was whispering things in my ear. I don't remember what he was whispering, but at the time I thought to myself that he was whispering "evil" things. I fought and fought to wake up from this episode, and perhaps I did wake up once, but it seemed to go on for an eternity! I kept trying to get away, always failing though.

Last night I had another episode. This time it was just my regular Sleep Paralysis stuff: Wake up; can't move; can't scream; can't get a good breath of air; struggle; struggle; struggle... Same old, same old.
