Woaaah sounds kinda freak to be quite honest

What are you talking about? In Sleep Paralysis your just in a state where you cant move. I can say that because it happened to me. You don't see "Shadows of people. Your freind is obviously either joking or just doesn't know what it means. Here is the definition of Sleep Paralysis. Sleep paralysis is a phenomenon in which people, either when falling asleep or wakening, temporarily experience an inability to move. More formally, it is a transition state between wakefulness and rest characterized.

Theres nothing to believe in, lol. Its real. Theres proof somewhere out there, Its happened to me before.

I was just laying there and then i couldent move and i knew what sleep paralysis was at the time so i knew not to open my eyes because youll get scared to death. One way to get out of it is to wiggle your toes and thats how i got out of it

Yeah i do but without the shadow people... i just wake up un-able to move and stair at the wall just sitting up. bit strange like every day when i wake up its strange.

I have had it bout five times in the past 4months.
Yeah it's real and yes it's scary, tho I never saw anything I was just paralised for five minutes or so, I knew what was goiing on around you but you can't escape.

I've had sleep paralysis many of times, only few I can remember.. The most vivid one i ever had was I was laying in bed someone came in my room, I heard children laughing, then something threw a ball at me, and i tried to catch it but when I tried to move, I couldn't.
I had one yesterday, I was also laying in bed face up, I thought i heard my mother called for my name, when no one was home at that time, I tried to get up but couldn't, it's very scary at times, but it's safe to say that i'm used to it.

Like others have said its not a "do you believe in it" thing.

It's real, proven information.

Sleep paralysis is a real thing. From what I know, during sleep paralysis, hallucinations can occur. What I believe happened though is that you friend was still asleep and had a false awakening.(where you think you wake up but you are really still sleeping) In that state, you can still dream which explains the shadow people and you may experience a form of sleep paralysis.

I had this once be4 i remember waking up for a short while
but i wasn't walking i was floating and i was trying to get down stairs i could hear my mum
talking. there was a small black hair covered monster following me :/
its really scary thing to go threw but personally i thought it
wasn't that bad!

Yes, this can happen in occasions and it is very **** scary!
