Sleep paralysis

I just had my first sleep paralysis. 

It felt like i couldn't move and i interpreted a curtain as a dark figure and several more appeared after that. 

After a minute or so i woke up after wanting to stand up and get the light on.

What is your experience with sleep paralysis?

I know it is a kinda weird topic, but i find it interesting!

Only once as a teenager and it was only for 2 or 3 seconds but still a bit disturbing.

I am not sure what the correct terminology is, but when I was a kid I could experience a weightless condition just before falling asleep or just after awaking. It was a pleasant sensation.

Wow, interesting. Sleep paralysis does sometimes include the feeling of floating. But it isn't pleasant…

I remembered as a child having a sleep paralysis episode mixed in with a fever dream it was really scary.

I periodically have Hypnic jerks where just before you fall asleep it feels like you being jerked awake although the feeling is like you fell a few centimetres.
