Hi Hillary,
Yes! It rather amazes me that some are taking this paralysis
as an individual experience based on some particularity of
their persona, when in actuality it happens in a much more
general fashion to just about everybody when entering the
sleep cycle.
Sure, being paralysed can be frightening, until one realizes
it's part of being human, and the natural response to not
being able to move exists as a vulnerability to whatever one
is exposed to... for better or worse.
I would love to have Angelique's take on this, as it might
seem, in her capacity as a seemingly repatriated pro dom,
this very human trait might have been the bread and butter
of her expertise. ;-)
