Question

Help answer this question below.

I told someone today about the sleep paralysis I sometimes get, which includes the bed shaking. The shaking goes away as soon as I manage to turn a light on. He asked me why I thought it was all in my head. Now I'm confused. What do you think?

    I have had the same kind of experience, it is very frightening. You can sometimes hear noises like people talking in the room and once I even felt someone sit down on my bed. Yet apparently it's all a trick of the mind. The body and the mind are waking up at a different pace, when you sleep the body is paralysed to stop you acting out your dreams. I can go with this theory, what I can't understand is, why is it never a pleasant experience - it's always scary.
