When the brain goes into REM sleep (deep, dreaming sleep), the brain paralyzes the muscles so we don't act-out our dreams. Sometimes though circuits get crossed, so to speak: the body wakes up, but the mind is still dreaming (somnambulism - "sleep walking"😉; or the opposite: the body is still asleep but the mind wakes up (in part) - sleep paralysis. Because the mind is only partly awake, there is also hypnogogic imagery, ie, dreaming imposed on awareness of the outside world.
Next time it happens, just try to calm your thoughts, try to be aware that part of you is still asleep. Just let the experience run its course. As long as you are healthy, there's nothing to fear.
I don't think he even needs to keep it up. A sample of some of his last few posts (in various forums):

I have a friend that passed through this once... I would like to know how it is the sensation... for only once, if it was possible.
NO...it's terrible...Only happened to me once....You can't move....only your eyes can.....You can't speak.....then you panic....that's when you need to calm down and think un-panicing and happier thoughts....
Ive had a lot of these sort of experiences, ive read a lot about it and discussed it with various other people who have had these experiences.
Here´s a possible explanation, cut short.
Everyone has the ability to do Outer Body expericences (OBE). But there is a "safety door" built in. Those who arn´t ready for this odd experience or to experience it on higher level are confronted with fearfull things, be it a voice, a demon or in my case a burnt head. To scare you back into your body.
The reason being that fear is a negative thing and can cause real horrors on the astral plane.
I don´t want to mess with you religious background, but relax and meditate when you are paralised, it will pass. Ask for Gods help and it will be gone, once you are over this hurdle you will possibly experince wonderfull things.
And no this isn´t a joke!
heres and interesting site on the subject, with a forum.
I've also heard this......There are negatives and positives, if you have fear you will attract the negative....That's why you must try to relax and dwell on the positives....then you attract that experience...and yes for OBE..I've heard, that you do need some protection or create some sort of protection...
yeah i get it to all the time infact, i enjoy it because it is a challenge to try and beat the paralisis .
Also on the same note what the original poster was talking about was a plauge that was going around in the 90's were people were walking up to " The black lady" she would sit on your chest and block the air flow to your mouth also there is some times a threatning figures in the room like a guy with a machete
Fun huh?!?
