Your spelling is great for a 9 year old! No, sleep paralysis isn't dangerous. Ignore the person who said you can die from it - they have no idea what they're talking about and is just trolling. If it were true there'd be some evidence or documentation and there is none. Whilst it's not dangerous, it is scary and whilst actually in sleep paralysis there's nothing you can do about it. You might also experience hallucinations but these are nothing to do with being mentally ill and are not an indication that there's anything wrong with you. They are just caused by a stage of sleep, a bit like dreams but of a different kind. If these episodes scare you, ask your parents to take you to see a doctor.

This is really scary. I know from experience! Lol. But I dont believe its dangerous. Though, you can possibly hallucinate, as I have before. Through sound or sight. I remember one time.. I was dreaming with my eyes still open. And I could clearly hear a classroom of kids and someone talking to me. I screamed for my mom. But nothing came out. I thought I was going insane. Lol usually, as you may or may not know.. You can sence the feeling coming on. My body usually gets tingly. And my bf says he feels like hes falling through a tunnel.. Hearing a .woosh. Sound. Either way. Ive read that it can be caused by being exausted. Or sometimes trying to fall asleep with you arms above your head. so when you start to notice it comeing on, if you can. Stand up and maybe get something to drink. Ive tried many times to just roll over while I caught it before it happened. But it always happened again and again. Good luck!

Not at all. Many millions of years ago, our common ancestors were tree dwellers. Those of them which moved around in their sleep at night had a much greater chance of falling and killing or injuring themselves, or being attacked by larger predators, which could not reach the higher and thinner branches. In some of those ancestral forms, however, a form of paralysis of the voluntary muscles evolved, and was positively selected for, evolutionarily, as it conferred a survival advantage, which has been passed down the generations to modern humans, where it is no longer functional. The best advice I can give is to understand that, although your mind may be fully functioning, after passing the hypnopompic state between sleep and wakefulness, muscular control will take a while longer to return. Realise that you are safe; I often use this time to plan my day's activities. Read: Sleep Paralysis: A Guide to Hypnagogic Visions and Visitors of the Night by Ryan Hurd, & Sleep Paralysis: Night-mares, Nocebos, and the Mind-Body Connection (Studies in Medical Anthropology) by Shelley R. Adler, from your bookstore, or amazon.com Google: "sleep paralysis; treatment"

This happened to me 2 or 3 times and is pretty scary...you should see a sleeping disorder specialist, and yes it can be dangerous many people have died from it.
