I've only experienced sleep paralysis once and it was around 2 in the afternoon. I dreamed the a tall black figure that I normally see at night watching me sleep. I could see it and myself in the position I fell asleep in. But my arms where covering my face and eyes and I had a hood on. So there was no way I could have possibly seen anything. Normally I can force myself to wake up if I don't like a dream. But this time it wasn't the case

a condition characterized by an extreme tendency to fall asleep whenever in relaxing surroundings.
Sleep paralysis occurs when consciousness is regained during REM (Rapid eye movement) cycle of sleep. Being unable to move while being fully conscious is the key symptom. Improving sleeping habits can reduce the frequency of episodes.
Sleep paralysis is much more common than you think. So it's okay, you can get through it.
