Some say its sleep paralysis, i think not at all

I wrote about this on quora. Seems Im not alone. For a little over two years I had these weird dreams/ dream states idk. I knew as I was starting to fall asleep I would get a sensation in my head, like pins and needles when your foot falls asleep. Then I knew I was going to have " one of those dreams". I would become afraid and I always thought I was able to wake myself up...not so. And every dream I would end up talking to the same character ( wasnt a nice fella). At some point I would realize I was in fact asleep and needed to get myself out of the dream. Anybody else?

I was getting snatched at 🌃 and it was just a matter of issuing psychic threats and fighting the overwhelming paralysis inflicted. eventually it stopped completely.

@pancakeslam In my dreams , in the beginning there was some seemingly physical struggle. After that it was all psychological, fear based stuff. Like harassment. Did you have paralysis? I was able to wake myself up a couple of times.

@Wolfegrl1 Yes I had overwhelming paralysis. Did you have any alien UFO imagery? Owls? Feelings of missing time? Or did it seem part of a dream?

@pancakeslam No alien/ UFO images. No owls. Just a person, character who mimicked, ultimately, my husband. I never believed I was still asleep. I always thought I was able to wake up and was eventually realized I wasnt. Oddly enough, the time was always correct from dream to wakefulness. How did you overcome your paralysis? Did you have auditory and visual in your paralysis?

@Wolfegrl1 I visualized a UFO and experienced missing time. I was fully awake for one of the experiences and I could move my eyes. I was eventually physically able to shake them off. They were occuring but , less intensely, and closer to the morning.
