I don't know if I'd say I've had the full blown paralysis experience, but every now and then there'll be a morning where I've woken up but drifted back to sleep, and I'll have dreams where I'm lying in bed as if I was awake and odd things might happen. Sometimes it's just as simple as feeling like I can see through my eyelids, other times it'll be something mundane like my partner or someone else talking to me and it feels plausible. Usually there's something odd about it, but it doesn't really register as odd or impossible until I've woken up again and think about it for a bit.

The other day though, it was happening and my mind started thinking about sleep paralysis (I had recently read someone else talking about it, so I guess it was fresh in my memory), and I think I kinda made it happen like a lucid dream. But I still was aware it was happening, so I didn't even try to move or anything. In it, some random vague woman just kinda got up real close and personal by my face. I closed my eyes but could still sense her presence. It wasn't scary, because I was still aware of what it was and how that's the kind of thing people talked about experiencing, but it was still disconcerting. I was able to just think like "wow okay no more of that" and it went away, though.

Change is weird.
