Sleep Paralysis: Awake But Still Asleep

Quote:
A person may wake up and find himself unable to move or speak as if he is frozen. He also may hear footsteps, see a ghost-like creature, or feel someone sitting on his chest. Throughout the history, people considered this phenomenon as work done by evil spirits. However, the modern science can explain the terrifying event as a Sleep Paralysis.

The first time I had sleep paralysis, I was dreaming about talking to Ke$ha. Her face started vibrating and turning funny colors, and then I "woke up" and couldn't move for a bit. It was cool.

Yes. I suffer from it very badly, (almost every night for the past year now, sometimes several times a night). It's very weird and there's definitely something spiritual and lucid about it.
In my experiences, I have been having a bad dream and for example I'll 'suddenly' begin to fall over or fall off something in my dream which causes me to shake my head and/or body to stop myself and to wake up, and when I wake up I'm completely frozen and paralyzed but can only blink and move my eyes around for a minute or so, it feels like someone or something has completely sucked the energy and soul out of you, it's VERY weird. I have also experienced hallucinating whilst being paralyzed and have seen 'dark shadow people' before.
It's happened once, and it was about my family getting murdered. Scariest **** that has ever happened. Thinking it was real and then not being able to move or anything
I has only happened to me once and it was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life.
I went to bed one night super exhausted after a 2 all nighters (nights with no sleep) writing final papers at uni. I randomly woke up at around 3 AM and the paralysis was immediate, it felt like 10 tons of pressure all over my body. I tried to move and scream to my roommate but my lips wouldn't move. I grew terrified and anxious and my mind started to race and all I could feel was panic . I then heard shrieking voices and saw rusty metal rods hover over my face slicing and cutting. It lasted abotu 5 minutes and then I somehow snapped out of it, but too scared to go back to sleep until a couple hours after.

In the link that I give, they include ways to fight it. Im gonna do them because it happens to me a lot! As in a lot! So I hope I can help.
The first time this happened to me I was just freaked the **** out. It was daytime. I could see everting and hear everything in the room. I tried to move and couldn't. I thought I was dying Tried to scream and couldn't. Stopped after like 30 secs tho.
The second time, I heard like a drilling noise. It got louder & louder. I was trying to get up and run away and couldn't. I was freaked the **** out.
Yes, and it's scary. I don't know if other people experience this, but when I'm really tired from staying up all night, I wake up the next morning and I keep going back from seeing things in reality to dreaming. I close my eyes for one second, then I'm having another dream. I wake up a little in a doze like I'm drunk, fall back to sleep and have a completely new one, and they're ALL extremely random (and sometimes disturbing ). I don't know if this is normal or not.

That sounds normal. It happens to me whenever I go to sleep late and have to get up early. I'll wake up and doze off and the dream is instantaneous. I do it multiple times until I actually force myself out of bed. That's one way to have a lucid dream.
I didn't wanna read **** but this happened to me once. Seriously, that was one of the scariest things ever that had happened to me I can't move anypart of my body but my eyes.
My eyes 
I've never experienced hallucinations, tho.
Tried to scream and couldn't. Stopped after like 30 secs tho.
