Sleep Paralysis.. Its getting worse over the years?

Ever since I was a child I have experience sleep paralysis. Back then I didn't understand it but now I somewhat do. But during the last few months it has gotten worse. When I go through it everything seems real and it feels like people are touching me and attacking me and I don't know if its pain that I feel but I feel something that is very uncomfortable. It gets even stranger. When I was in it one night, I said in my mind, "Aw $h!t! not again and I heard myself say it! Then everything that I thought in my brain, I would hear as if I recorded myself or something. Also if I think about a song I would actually hear the song as if it was playing for real. And also if I think about something during the experience it appears as if its happening. Example: if I think about someone attacking me with a bat. That will happen... I know it sounds crazy but I know someone out there goes through something similiar.. Please help me!!!

You are confusing two different things.

Sleep paralysis is something that happens to everyone. It prevents you from physically acting out what you are dreaming. It's a safeguard.

What you are doing is called lucid dreaming. People who can do this are aware that they are in a dream and can influence the course of the dream. You sound as if you learned to do this spontaneously, but it can be learned also.

You are perfectly normal.
