Follow-Up:
I came across the website covering the above subject matter. I have had sleep paralysis on and off over the past year and I have discovered what can prevent it and if you do find yourself in the middle of it - how to come out of it. 1) The Lord's Prayer - say this prayer before you go to sleep and it will protect you. 2) If you find yourself in the middle of sleep paralysis - say The Lord's Prayer in your head (as you usually find you can not speak) you will find that it will actually wake you up. If you are interested in why this would work - the area that holds the answers is: SPIRITUALISM.
