I used to have sleep paralysis and the dark figure hallucination, but once I realized what they were (neurological) I was able to start avoiding the panic associated with them. I would remind myself (during an episode), "This is just sleep paralysis," etc., and I would eventually wake up without freaking out.
On the plus side, if you can get the hang of doing that, you may also be able to become good at lucid dreaming.
Thats good you can rationalize that during an episode. How do you do it? Gosh, with all of this talk I hope I don't experience it tonight
