I understand you have a predicament with having to take a medication that may contribute. Heart palpitations can be very frightening by themselves, I've experienced those a few times.

I am a very lucid dreamer and even if the dream is bad, I generally just wake up feeling uncomfortable, or at least trying to understand the dream. But the paralysis is a whole different level. I like your idea of trying to scare the presence away. That never occurred to me, but I'll keep that as a tactic to maybe end it quicker.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with me.
Hi Rose,
The "cure" is understanding what it is. It maybe unpleasant but it is always created by the subconscious to help the sleeper wake up from a problem that he/she is experiencing during sleep. As I said earlier stress and depression are the main causes, but sleeping positions and breathing difficulties during sleep are also factors. We can see how the sleeper is positioned during sleep but we can't see how the internal organs spread out, especially the lungs.
The subconscious takes breathing difficulties very seriously and if it is experienced moves the sleeper or wakes him/her up. Sometimes literally frightens the sleeper awake!
Another point about the sleep paralysis dream is that by the time the sleeper can "think" say or do something, the job of the dream is done; the brain is working!
Dreams are a work of art!
