I have never tried to control sleep paralysis aside from focusing on breathing to break from that state. My mind generally enters a primal state of panic when I experience sp and that tends to override everything else. But I appreciate all the information and will try to remember this thread the next time it happens.
Despite the panic, I do often remember what I see and hear while in that state. The most vivid encounters involve three shadow figures that come across as older women and sit beside my bed whispering. The other encounter involves a larger shadowy figure who appears to be searching for something and will begin to approach me if I am noticed.
Adding to the aforementioned panic, is that in the blending of dream and reality I do not always realize that the shadow entities are not actual people (particularly with the latter). Not that it wouldn't be scary for anyone, but especially as a woman who lives alone that fear is very ingrained and potent.
