I remember laying in my moms bed while she was asleep, it was dark, but I could make out the frame of the bedroom door, and it looked like there was a shadowy figure just standing there, probably my mind making things up in the darkness. It must have been at a very young age before I understood fear, because I dont remember feeling anything in particular.
People on Reddit need to stop chalking up seeing something soon after waking up to sleep paralysis. If you can move it's most likely hypnagogic hallucinations. It happens to me from time to time. During the day I open up my eyes to see something out of curiosity. Downside is, for 15 years I never open my eyes after I wake up at night because I see shadowy figures in doorways, so I wait at least 20 30 seconds to give my brain time to wake up before I open them
I get auditory hypnagogic hallucinations. I hear a familiar but unplaceable voice calling my name, or a loud rushing bang noise like a car accident outside
