I used to get sleep paralysis quite a bit. It always seemed to happen to me if it was too hot in my room. It went away, I think my last one was 5-6 years ago. It was definitely terrifying, but I never hallucinated. I always had complete awareness of what was going on around me, I just couldn't do anything about it. There's a group of people who believe that all of the alien abduction stories are actually just people suffering from sleep paralysis and having a similar hallucination. I'm glad I never imagined an anal probe!
