To quote from article I just sent: "Sleep paralysis is a feeling of being conscious but unable to move. It occurs when a person passes between stages of wakefulness and sleep. During these transitions, you may be unable to move or speak for a few seconds up to a few minutes. Some people may also feel pressure or a sense of choking. Sleep paralysis may accompany other sleep disorders such as narcolepsy. Narcolepsy is an overpowering need to sleep caused by a problem with the brain's ability to regulate sleep."

A second for sleep paralysis. Nothing supernatural or metaphysical, just the brain being funny.

As Ray has already said, sounds like sleep paralysis. Don't worry - it's more common and explicable than you realise. I'd suggest speaking to your doctor if it recurs.

Its sleep paralysis. The other part, I've had that sometimes (not the same experience) when coming out of a dream I didn't know I had. Other times it could just be the brain.

As for paranormal? Depends on what you believe in. I wouldn't say so. Best I can say is get good rest, don't eat right after bed, and take time out to cool down stressers if you have them.

I saw the thread title, threw on my superhero costume, and clicked expecting to swoop in and save someone from drowning or something, only to find it was a case of sleep paralysis.

Sleep paralysis is a major sign of narcolepsy. If this is a one-off event, maybe there's not much to worry about;; however, if this happens again, you should seek professional medical advice.

Well at least it's a nice looking superhero costume...

Generally, it's indicative of nothing. It can accompany narcolepsy, but the vast majority of people who experience sleep paralysis (which is many, many people) have no sleep disorders. It's one of those things that are common enough that there is no need for alarm or to think there is an underlying issue. Not unless it becomes a regular thing.

I myself have experienced sleep paralysis due to a nasty side effect from consuming Ketamine. I know one episode of sleep paralysis is not necessarily something to get alarmed about; however, re-occurring episodes of sleep paralysis could be due to a sleep disorder.

Reoccurring, yes. But someone asking about this happening when it appears to have never happened before, it is not even a reason to mention it's "major sign" of narcolepsy. (not unless you think Googling your symptoms is a good idea)

I know that's why explicitly mentioned it's probably not much to worry about unless it happens again. Now what if Frank has developed narcolepsy and we're all telling him not to worry about a major symptom of this disorder. Frank, unaware of his sleep disorder, falls asleep behind the wheel and takes out somebody in a fatal car crash, I bet he'd regret nobody warned him to get his medical condition checked out.

Whatsoever spiritual path you have chosen, get off of it... unless you are happy. Only, remember, that happiness is just a "nibble of a cookie dangled in front of a young innocent girl's eyes, by a pervert"
Soon the happiness will be replaced by pain.

Whatever occult movies, or books you may be delving into... get rid of them.
Get out of that occult web... before it's too late. Find the path to truth, and stay on it.
That's my advice.

...What makes you think this is supernatural?I mean it could be but It's most likely just sleep paralysis. Not trying to be rude or debate or anything I'm just trying to understand your view here on sleep paralysis being linked to the occult when most say its just the brain acting funny.
