Yeah but I don't have that very often, it is more like ill wake up and see someone next to my bed and when I turn on the light, it's gone. I know it's normal. But yeah I don't get the paralysis very often, barely remember when it last happened. I just get the common herring or seeing things while awake without the paralysis.
