Overcoming Nightmares and Sleep Paralysis
Sleep paralysis: After awakening or dozing off have you ever experienced a great weight holding you down, making it difficult to breathe; people or threatening figures standing nearby poking, prodding, and touching you; hallucinations appearing before you or the complete absence of light; "evil" voices and loud, buzzing noises; vibrations or "electricity" running around inside you; body distortions and other weird sensations or feelings? If so, you are probably experiencing sleep paralysis.
