This is so interesting and I'm glad you posted about this. It's been something I've been wondering about lately. My daughter revealed to me recently that she has experienced sleep paralysis on three or four occasions. Something else I've been reflecting on is an experience I had when I was a little girl, lying in bed one night and it felt like I lifted out of my bed, maybe two or three feet, hovered there for several seconds and then was suddenly and quite violently spun around and dropped back into my bed. I've never shared that with anyone before, and I certainly knew I could never tell my parents as they would have just dismissed it. I've never been able to explain it, probably never will but this could be an explanation.
I actually really appreciate you saying that, I've spent most of my life feeling like I'm going crazy, you're the first person who has told me I'm not.
I know what it feels like to have to suppress and repress yourself to "fit in". I think only crazy people label others crazy, when there is so much we don't understand

Glad it helped point to some alternative explanations as to what might be happening. You are NOT crazy! :-)
