I made a blog post a few months ago about this topic, so here's a small update for anyone who cares.
Since this blog entry, I had 2 separate incidents of sleep paralysis, one of which was this morning. Luckily, they have not actually been that bad. Once I knew what to expect, they became a lot less terrifying to experience. They're still not fun, but it's better than a nightmare because I'm conscious enough to know it's not real. I am grateful to live in modern society when we have scientific explanations for these sorts of events. I can't imagine what it would be like to truly believe that you were attacked by demons at night, since that would have been the only explanation for someone without a knowledge of how these kinds of things work.
If anyone is curious what I actually saw this morning, it was a cartoon T. Rex that was slowly opening its mouth. Reminds me of that famous painting by Henry Fuseli, except a lot lamer. I was studying dinosaurs recently, so I guess that is the first thing my brain's "hallucination generator" thought of. The other time I was facing a wall, so I'm not sure what I would have seen. Hopefully I didn't miss anything too interesting.
