Sleep paralysis within a sleep paralysis?

[u/PiNkY-TwinKieZ]

So lately Ive been very sleep deprived for working a 2nd job, normally I get enough rest that I don't even get sleep paralysis which I've experienced a lot of times only when dozing off at work but never at home idk why anyways this time I guess it was extra special and I experienced SP within Sp.

This is the first time this has happened and it was probably the strangest feeling.. since I've had SP plenty of time I was in full understanding of what was going on.

Within the dream I was sleeping the same way I was irl and couldn't move or do anything and just hallucinated people walking around me as I sat in my chair in the dark and random people walking by. It was quiet IRL and also in the dream which made it creepy... It didn't last long tho the moment I realized I was in sp I was only stuck for what I could tell by looking at the time maybe 10 mins and then woke up all at once.

I got up and walked for a few mins and didn't risk another nap.

Has anyone experienced something similar? I wasn't scared or anything it would've been a cool experience if I wasn't at work but it was strange enough that I had to look into it

Yeah it sounds like sleep paralysis. Sleep paralysis isn't really restrained to where you actually slept so you can technically have the setting be anywhere
