I'm attaching a fact sheet from ASP-L, the Awareness during Sleep Paralysis mailing list. Usually we don't notice it because it's so natural and protective. Awareness during Sleep Paralysis. We can experience Awareness during Sleep Paralysis either as we are going to sleep or as we awaken from sleep. Men may or may not ejaculate.
Women often find themselves covered with a strange liquid or 'slime', men less often.
Feeling unable to call out for help or attempting to scream but others report hearing nothing or only a slight whisper or hissing sound. Paradoxically, the key is to relax. Struggling only prolongs the agony. If you are still struggling in fear, this may be hard for you to accept. And that's okay, too.
