It is not a dream.
It happens as I am falling asleep, or just after I fall asleep. But when it happens it wakens me fully so I am completely awake with my eyes open. It is such a feeling of unexplainable terror and dread that words can't describe.
It is really a presence in my room. I can't see or hear it. I can only feel it. It paralyzes me and I can't move or scream. My voice and lips are paralyzed too so I can't talk. Whatever position my head and neck is in when it comes on me, that is the way it stays because I am completely paralyzed. So I can't look around. The only sound I can make is a guttural sound deep in my throat. All I can do is pray in Jesus name in my mind, for the thing to leave. I say it over and over again in my mind and with what little vocal capabilities I have, until the presence fades away and is gone.
After which I get up and turn the light on in my room. It only happens when I turn out my lights. But I can't sleep with them on! Help me!!!
