I have been working in the field of dreams and dream "recording" for asbout 8 years. I built an online dream journal back in 2001 that allows users to create their own dream journal, track themes, settings, emotions, activities, and more. They can use this data to see trends within their own dreams and compare their dreams to other members. We have recorded over 100,000 dreams to date, this is a free service.
I "suffered" from sleep paralysis from the age of 14 until about 28 and have since learned how to overcome it, or more importantly how to live with it and enjoy it. Read more below.

Stop Drug Treatment Abuse
Drug treatment should be therapeudic, helpful & humane. For years children have been abused at so called treatment & behavior modification facilities, for profit. It's time to wake up, protect our kids & stop these crimes! Treatment should be compassionate & loving, not abusive.

How to get started
I "suffered" from sleep paralysis from the age of 14 until about 28. Irnused to experience episodes nightly (somethines several times a night). Over the years the episodes became less frequent, about once a month byrnthe time I reached 28. Then I ran across an article online that defined sleep paralysis in medical terms. Before then I didn't even know the term "sleep paralysis" existed. I had not told anyone, not even myrnmother, that I had been going through this as I figured she'd think Irnwas nuts. It was truly a terrifying experience. The article explained much of what I was experiencing and the "why" behind it. Why there was always an ominous presence, why it felt like I could not breathe, why it happens more often while sleeping on your back, etc.
This small bit of knowledge changed my life and how I view sleep paralysis. I chose to put this knowledge to the test and found that the experience is only scary because our mind is in a state of panic and fear when finding ourselves in this paralized state. I realized that part of what was being expereinced was in fact a lucid dream of sorts and that I had complete control over the "fear factor" of each episode. Knowledge is power and it allowed me to get past the "fear" and opened up a door to some very interesting experiences. I no longer "fear" sleep paralysis, I have helped others overcome that fear. I now look atrnit as a gateway to something marvelous. It appears it was a blessing not a curse, I now can put myself into a sleep state without losing consciousness (which is a great launching pad for OBE's and/or lucid dreams) and that came very easy due to the sleep paralysis experience Irnhad in the past. I'd love to assist anyone in either overcoming sleep paralysis or learning to live with sleep paralysis and actually enjoy it.
