I have this sometimes. Did you know you can actually induce sleep paralysis? I learned how. Why you may ask? Because once those fucking demons come into my room, I look them dead in the eye, and tell them with my mind they don’t own me, don’t have any control over me, and they can fuck off.
It’s still scary AF. But they have no power over me and they know it.

Mine is usually signaled by a very loud hum noise in the background. I generally avoid opening my eyes, but if needed I will stare them down. I usually can’t wake up but need to fall back asleep, and enter some REM. I’ll wake up hours later. It’s scary because I’ll keep thinking I’ve woke up because I’m back in my room, but it’s still a dream.
