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 never associated the prickly pin feel feeling with it but you're absolutely right. I always feel that right before it happens. With me something black came from my bathroom,
even know picturing it its only a silhouette like a solid black mass, maybe a shadow figure and it has a tail. Im not picturing a demon though. It moves really fast and it jumped on my chest, and held me down, and i couldn't move. I just said the Lord's Prayer over and over as i tried to shake it off and wake myself up. My husband was there beside me one day when it happened i was screaming his name for him to wake me up but it only came out like a whisper even though i was yelling. Every other time it happened he was at work

@AngelUnforgiven That sounds terrifying. Are you awake and seeing this thing but cant move? Or are you trying to wake yourself up?

@Wolfegrl1 My bedroom is pitch dark i have blackout curtains but my neighbor behind me has a motion sensor and ever so often a light pops on outside my window and it illuminates my window a bit. And this is what happened. I was asleep and once it jumped on me i woke up and the light outside came on i opened me eyes and all i could see was the shape of it, it was solid but just black. Then that light outside went back off and it was pitch black again.

@AngelUnforgiven Does your husband have the same issue? I only ask because mine had a similiar experience. His was only auditory though. I totally understand how frightening these experiences can be though. I got to a point that I was afraid to go to sleep.
