Yes. I only had it happen once but I will never forget the experience. It was dreadful, and I hope never to go through it again. It was in 1992, and I had a close family member die in tragic circumstances a few months before, so I was stressed out trying to cope with the aftermath. I wasn't sleeping well generally but wasn't dreaming either - as far as I was aware. One night I woke up, and felt fully awake - in my head, but I couldn't move a muscle. I felt as if I were sinking into the bed, I weighed so heavy. Then I realised that what I really felt was a huge ton weight on top of me, the length of my body. It was suffocating and the fear I had was so intense, even the air in the room was thick and heavy, I was sure I was going to die. I tried to move, tried to cry out, couldn't do a thing, just lay there with this 'thing' laying on me. The room seemed to be pitch black but I could just about make out familiar things like the dressing table and also other unfamiliar shapes - however, I couldn't figure out if they were moving or not. I have a vague recollection of feeling myself dragged down the bed. The fear was overwhelming. All the time I felt like I was sinking further into the bed. It was an entirely unknown experience to me, and I remember thinking, am I awake, sleeping...I convinced myself I was completely awake. This was really frightening, because I knew there was no 'waking up' from it. It felt completely real and I was totally conscious.This seemed to go on for about half an hour but it probably wasn't as long as that. Eventually, I got to move my arm and the whole weight thing disappeared and I was so exhausted I fell asleep immediately. Next morning I work up and it was all completely vivid. I was terrified and it took months for me to be able to be in a room by myself after it. I had been convinced some evil thing had visited me. However, a few years later, thanks to the internet, google etc, I discovered the Old Hag syndrome as it is sometimes known - feels like an old hag demon is sitting on you, but scientifically....it's claimed it's sleep paralysis, waking up in the middle of a dream, when the muscles are temporarily paralised can lead one to experience all I've described (and worse!). Anyway - thankfully, never happened again but if it did....I think I'd be just as scared. Nothing could prepare a person for it and I feel so sorry for anyone who has this kind of thing happen regularly.
Phew, thanks for letting me blab on about that!

I've experienced sleep paralysis several times, and only once did I see "entities".
The one time I did see something, I should have been terrified, but it felt like I had been drugged. I woke up and first heard this odd humming or buzzing sound. At that point, I realized that I could not breathe. There was the unmistakable pressure on my chest and I could not move any muscle other than my eyes. Also, I wasn't in my room. I was lying and strapped to a cold metal table, and there were two huge monster-looking creatures (looked like the things from the movie Predator) standing a few feet away next to a metal shelf/cart that had these scary looking (presumably) medical tools on it. They were talking but I couldn't understand what was being said because of the humming sound. And then I started to regain muscle control again so I took a deep breath and wiggled my hands and feet. Then one of the creatures picked up a syringe thingy and injected me with something that made my blood feel ice cold, and I once again could not breath or move. I passed out/went back to sleep and in the morning there was a small mark on my arm where I had dreamed the injection was given.
I should mention that I was pretty small when this happened, I was not and am not on drugs, nor were my parents, and the movie Predator had not yet been released.
Sleep paralysis? Abduction? Vivid dream? Who knows...

I remember waking up and it was standing there, between the door to my closet and the bedroom door. I was so scared I couldn't move. I think I managed to get out a TINY little "peep" of fear. It was tall, at least 6' 5". I could see nothing of it but a dark tall shadow in humanoid form and I could FEEL it thinking about me. I could feel its massive intelligence, and that it was evil. I still think back on how creepy it was that it just stood there, observing me. It was pondering me, everything about me, my future, my past, everything.
Then I woke up again. Everything was the same but the "incubus" was gone. I was still so scared I couldn't move, but I kept trying, fighting as hard as I could to at least wiggle a finger. Then I woke up again, and I could move, but I still wasn't quite sure whether or not I was going to wake up anymore, because the "dream" was just SO realistic. I remember every detail, right down to the moonlight coming in through the window.
It was a hell of an experience.

anybody who thoughts this frequently might want to look at being appeared at through a well-being practitioner and in all likelihood a nap hospital. it will be a demonstration of fairly some sleep subject matters. something similar (technially referred to as phantomania) can ensue with psychic attack yet its better ideal to commence through searching into the clinical causes first and to think with reference to the mystical in straight forward words at the same time as those were exhausted through a qualified well-being practitioner.
