Sleep paralysis and hallucinations are conditions frequently associated with other sleep disorders. Narcolepsy is one such a condition. It is not so rare but stays unreported. Paralysis can occur while the body is in any position, but mostly the sleeper is lying flat on the back. It is followed with intense fear, and other strong emotions. Sensation of pressure on the chest is also seen, making it difficult to breathe. Floating feelings and out-of-body experiences are noticeable. From time to time they even feel like they have been attacked, perhaps strangled or suffocated. Sexual attacks are also experienced, along with other dreadful hallucinations.
