I have come to find out that the following description is extremely common, especially among young men:
Right before he falls asleep, a heavy force overcomes the young man. He lays there not being able to move or even speak, as if he is completely paralyzed. He is overcome with a sense of doom and immediately recognizes the force that is holding him down is not normal and with every ounce of strength, attempts to pray. Then as suddenly as it began, the force is gone and the young man is gasping for air, and now able to move.
This is a general description and each person has minor variations, but I now know several young men (including myself) who have had this experience.
What is it? Why is it so common?
