Being ridden by the hag.......not as much fun as it sounds.
You wake up in the dead of night and look around. The room is slightly different, stretched, intense. It's your bedroom alright, but there's no door. The wardrobe looks disconcertingly far away and the surfaces are tinted with the reflections of the night. An all-pervading sense of dread overwhelms and holy shit! what is that at the end of the bed? Jeez...it's a wizened little head attached to a tiny doll body and it's fixing me with an unblinking, lazer stare. It is completely malevolent, completely evil and completely focused on hurting me.
Motherfucker! It's slowly crawling up my body, I can feel it on my legs. But I can't move. Trying to scream, yell, breathe, nothing. Sweating. Terrified. Closer, fuck, it's closer...I can feel it on my chest, pressing down. Skinny arms with deep-fried raptor hands reach out, I feel them on my throat, feel the skinny fingers, the scratch of decayed nails, squeezing. The pressure on my chest increasing, complete, total uncontrollable fear. An explosive breath and the room shifts to normal, and I can sit up, gasping. Only the fear remains.
And that is about as close as I can get to describing a hypnagogic hallucination, the type of which used to plague my teens and early twenties until I learned to control and manipulate them (and they became kind of trippy then).
These days, I get the audio version. It's usually someone banging very loudly on my window, an old style telephone ring, or the front door opening violently. I tell myself it's all in my head...

DeadlinerThere's a Gary Numan song about this- Deadliner- and he get's it spot on.
Sleep paralysis is nothing less than pure fear, unadulterated by reason, logic or pain.
PS
Nice Dune paraphrase at the end of para 3!
