I am one of those unfortunates that actually have sleep paralysis on a semi-regular basis. In fact, I am so used to it now that ,everytime it happens, instead of feeling the immense fear that most people feel when paralized, I would be feeling, "fuck, not again!"

I don't really know. Now that I'm so used to it, it goes by pretty quickly and I don't really pay attention to it. All I know is that I can't move even though I want to move.
I once read a book that talks about sleep paralysis. The author says that through execise you can actually perform an out-of-body experience. Supposedly, you just want to fool your mind that your body is up and walking around even though you are still lying there paralyzed. I've never tried it, though.

Lam, do you ever feel pressure in your temples when this happens? Maybe not anymore but at the start?
Well, I guess we all experience it a little differently. I never felt any pressure on the temples. However, I saw the dark figure a few first times. Scared the living hell out of me. Back then, I had never heard of sleep paralysis. After the second time, I think, I saw a program on the discovery channel and I was like "ah ha!"

"Pure energy" cannot be directly observed. Energy is the ability to do work (as in work in a scientific sense). We can only observe the effects of energy on other things.
In other words, the phrase "a being of pure energy" doesn't make sense at all, unless we are talking about an alien with a technology so advance that it generates some kind of field to literally trap energy in some kind of form without mass. You often see that in some science fiction show.
