So I've gotten sleep paralysis as long as I can remember, since elementary school. Since I was 13 it's been pretty consistent. I'm 17 now and it's starting to get worse. Sometimes it launches me into a deeper dream state, and I can lucid dream pretty amazingly. But most of the time, it's absolutely terrifying. If you've ever done DMT, it's like a bad trip on that every time. Every noise and visual is amplified. Things begin to come closer to me, grab me, yell at me, feel me. Sometimes in complete terror I'll get up and run, feeling like I'm drunk, only to come to full conciousness in bed. Sometimes I'm completely calm and everything is bright. And I turn around, and see my own face. This terrifies me more than anything, but it is fascinating none the less.
So, I guess my question is, does anyone else experience this? I know it happens to others, but could it have paranormal implications? I need your help /x/
Pic related, it's one of the sort of things I see sometimes.

If you want it to stop, just focus on taking slow deep breaths, and you can pretty easily will yourself out of it. If its happening to you often, this will become effortless. Or just start sleeping in more regular patterns

Im not looking to stop it, I want too understand it beyond the brain chemistry bullshit I already know about. And way to be in the /x/ spirit.
