I suffer from sleep paralysis?

This is more of a discussion than an 'IIN'. Basically, back when I was a kid, I suffered from sleep paralysis and these would combine with nightmares making for some hellish visual and auditory horrors during sleep paralysis. As a kid this was terrifying. However, they died down during my teens.
Unfortunately, they appear to be back. Two nights ago I had a Sleep Paralysis Nightmare where a creepy old woman was peeping over the side of the bed as she grabbed my arm (either that or she was attempting to link arms with me). As I did when I was a kid I told her to 'fuck off'.
And now a thought's just came up. When I was a kid I had the same recurring nightmare (the details of which can be found further down the Dreams category called 'I used to have a recurring nightmare' or something)about a young female, from what I could hear, could she be the old female? Is that normal?
Also can anyone else give some sleep paralysis stories, and ways to prevent it?

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    When I was 4 I would have night mares every night and would eventually end up in my parents bed . One night I had a nightmare , the only thing I remember now is peering around a large gravestone and I became aware that I was dreaming . I woke up but I couldn't move and my eyes were stuck shut . It was so scary . I had been crying in my sleep and my eyes had crusted together . I screamed for minutes but nothing came out of my throat . Eventually the screams started coming out and my mom got me . But Now I get sleep paralysis all the time
