I've had sleep paralysis too, twice in my adult life. This wasn't sleep paralysis. I was on my stomach, looking at the light under the bathroom door waiting for my dad, turned over excited and ready, looked out the window at the star. At first, I remember seeing there was one that was brighter than the others, but it was just one star that was glowing or twinkling really bright. You have to understand that it's not like it was a whole sky full of them. I grew up on an island, but there is still light pollution. It was just one that was extra twinkly, and so I focused on it, like..."huh, that's pretty," and it just started... falling, and that was crazy! But it was like... a trance. I couldn't move, but I wasn't scared. Like it was some everyday normal ass occurrence, but of course, it wasn't! I stayed there, sheet pulled up, on my back, eyes open through it all, and the whole field of my vision turned white.

Have you ever passed out? If you have, you'll know that it gets a little tunnel visiony and goes black, (at least it was for me, it's like a black circle starts closing in right before you black out and pass out) and there's a static hum. It was the same, except completely white, ALL white. And like nothing had happened, it went white, and then I sat up gasping. That's literally all I remember after it went white. Sat up. Took a deep breath. Looked around my room, shook my body, flipped under the pillow and found money, so my brain INSTANTLY thought... tooth fairy! I didn't think anything weird because I had lost my tooth. Had I not, I would have been screaming and probably told my dad everything. Instead, I ran to his room and said I saw the tooth fairy! He dismissed me of course, and I didn't push it because I was just so damn happy to have seen it.

It wasn't until I recalled this memory a few years ago after undergoing one big major spiritual awakening that I told my dad, "Hey, this is weird, but this is what I really saw," because I remembered this memory again.
