Follow-Up:
Awareness during Sleep Paralysis, ASP, is unusual and is often extremely frightening, but it doesn't have to be. Many people welcome it and some people even seek it because it can be a gateway to Out-of-Body experiences and/or lucid dreams of incredible beauty.
There are many techniques for defending yourself from beings who threaten you. Some are described at the website mentioned below. Communicate with other experiencers --- many of whom have learned to deal with these troublesome entities --- via the ASP-L mailing list (See .sig)
