How can I help my eleven year old with sleep paralysis and recurring nightmare of slipping and falling being swallowed up by the ground feeling unable to move breathe feeling crushed?

Answer:
I've attached a link from a reliable source, which is what you want. Your son is approaching puberty and his system is changing and it is disturbing. However, it seems that if you regard it as a sleep disorder treatable by lifestyle changes, the experiences will fade. Avoid over treating the symptoms. You could check in with your primary care doctor.
