I've had sleep paralysis once, and I AM GLAD THAT MY MIND SHOWED MERCY. There were basically no hallucinations, the one that was there wasn't even creepy at all. The creepiest part was that i was completely immobile, and couldn't control my own breathing. After a short while i could move again, and then i was like "YO i just had sleep paralysis lol". I hear it can be a terrifying experience though.

holy shit man
Anyways, discounting all the dreams/nightmares i've had where i was being chased by a relentless monster who definitely did not want me to be alive, there was this one time in bed where i was firing up the hypochondriac vicious circle. See, i was lying there, thinking there might be something wrong with my heart (which i'm reasonably sure there isn't, given how it's not dangerous for my pulse to reach 200), feverishly trying to convince myself that NAH NOTHING IS WRONG. Cue my left pectoral muscle suddenly spazzing randomly. Left, as in right the fuck over my heart. I thought i had a goddamn heart attack, which scared the everloving shit out of me. I COULD NOT SLEEP THAT NIGHT, at first because i was buzzing from adrenaline, and when that subsided, i still had the shock to keep me awake. Not pleasant, at all.
Oh yeah, and regarding creepy dreams, special mention goes to the dreams i occasionally have that take something i know and love and twist it into something horribly creepy and WRONG. It often involves Disney cartoons. :|
