Hello there everyone, hope you are all well.
Dyslexic imagination and dreams can be very scary. I had a very bad vivid dream when I was a kid. I was in bed and there was a full moon and I think it was either Mars or Venus shinning quite bright in the sky near it.
In my dream the planet fired laser beams through the window. I tried to get up but was paralysed in bed. There is a name for that sort of dream, no idea what it is though. The bedroom was on fire and I just could not get out of bed.
In the end the dream frightened me awake. Think I must have been about 9 or 10 and reading War of the Worlds at the time. Very vivid and very scary. I still have a memory of that dream.
Have you ever had a scary vivid dream and are you dyslexic?
That'e enough from me Steve #UniqueDyslexic McCue

Did a wee search on this out of interest. I certainly remembering a lot of the symptoms as stated below.
Overview
What is sleep paralysis?
While falling asleep or waking up, your brain sends signals that relax muscles in your arms and legs. The result — muscle atonia — helps you remain still during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. With sleep paralysis, you regain awareness but can’t move.
What does sleep paralysis feel like?
During a sleep paralysis episode, you're aware of your surroundings but cannot move or speak. But you can still move your eyes and breathe. Many people hear or see things that aren’t there (hallucinations), making episodes even more frightening.
How long do sleep paralysis episodes last?
They last anywhere between a few seconds and a few minutes.
Who gets sleep paralysis?
Rare or isolated sleep paralysis can occur in people of all ages. And it’s more common in the setting of sleep deprivation in association with a changing sleep schedule, which may happen if you are a college student or do shift work. Recurrent sleep paralysis is a symptom of narcolepsy, a disorder of unstable sleep-wake boundaries.
Symptoms and Causes
Why does sleep paralysis happen?
During the rapid eye movement (REM) sleep stage, you’re likely to have dreams. The brain prevents muscles in your limbs from moving to protect yourself from acting dreams out and hurting yourself. Sleep paralysis happens when you regain awareness going into or coming out of REM. Because narcolepsy is characterized by unstable wakefulness and unstable sleep, people with narcolepsy have frequent night awakenings that can be associated with sleep paralysis.
Are there specific causes?
The condition has many causes, including:
- Narcolepsy.
- Shift work.
- Sleep deprivation.
- Obstructive sleep apnea.
What are the symptoms of sleep paralysis?
The symptoms include:
- Paralysis in your limbs.
- Inability to speak.
- Sense of suffocation
- Hallucinations.
- Fear.
- Panic.
- Helplessness.
- Tightening around your throat.
- Daytime sleepiness, which may be a sign of narcolepsy.
