Err... sleep paralysis can be bad if you don't realize that its an instant gateway into a lucid dream. I had lucid dreams long before I realized this, but at some point in my life during a sleep paralysis event i realised it was a dream, and after that i could fly, have sex, and be magic for as long as i remembered i was dreaming. Have fun the next time you have sleep paralysis, its not awful, its awesome.
