I experienced it several other times, but as I got older I learned how to either wake myself up from it, or turn it into a more pleasant lucid dream. I have always been fascinated by the Jack the Ripper murders, and I absolutely cannot read anything about the subject when it's close to bed time. I have had a few sleep paralysis experiences where I found myself his victim, and he was on top of me killing me. I would keep going back and forth between laying on my back on the streets of London to my bed. Of course it still wasn't as frightening as the "ghost man" I experienced as a child. I didn't start having the JTR experiences until later in life, when I had an idea that it wasn't real. Of course it does make me wonder if I had a past life as a prostitute in London, but I try not to think about it.
But anyway, don't be discouraged if anything like this ever happens to you. Try to remember that it's not real and concentrate on your breathing. Try to stay calm and close your eyes and think about happy things, there's a good chance that this paralysis incident will turn into a lucid dream. Remember to try staying on your back the whole time, and that the chance of having a lucid dream will increase on days you sleep in longer than usual.
Remember you can use lucid dreams for any purpose(s) you choose. Some people like to have fun with it. When you lucid dream, you are almost like a god and you have control over the dream world. Obviously the most common thing for lucid dreamers to do is to experience their sexual fantasies. Some people like to fly, some people like to pretend that they're a star on stage preforming in front of a large crowd. Sometimes it may not be until a middle of an ordinary dream when it becomes lucid. If it already a pleasant dream, you don't have to change it if you don't want to. You could keep on continuing with the same dream as an observer. Of course you can change things you don't like about it. It's all totally all up to you. Have fun!
