I'll preface this by stating that I've had countless sleep paralysis and OBE experiences

since I was very young. I'm now 28, and on average,

still to this day, I have one to two out-of-body experiences per week. In comparison, I experience

sleep paralysis maybe once a month. I can only describe my average sleep paralysis as

being awake in a body that cannot see or move. The only way I could break out of this sleep

paralysis was by envisioning myself jumping in which I'd feel myself wading through this

gel-like substance before finally being able to wake up.

experienced. I'm hoping that there are others who have had something similar happened to them.

About a week and a half ago, I entered sleep paralysis and came to that moment of realization,

of being unable to move. Instead of attempting to break out, like I described above,

I had the confidence to stay in the experience and begin to calm myself. I focused on

remaining calm for a good solid minute until my body started to somewhat aggressively vibrate.
