Scary Sleep Pressure
By verrallcjv

I have read many stories about ghosts, sleep paralysis, etc. and can see
quite a lot of logic. I feel I have to post this story in order to get
my own answers based on other peoples experiences as it's not easy to
just ask the right person.

For the last couple of years I have been experiencing a strange feeling
whilst I have been sleeping. It has probably happened about 15 times all
in all and I am 22 years old. Now, when I am asleep, I might be dreaming
of whatever and then all of a sudden I feel some sort of presence around
me. Now this feeling is really nice and it makes me feel really relaxed.
I also feel like I'm in the state of waking up. Then all of a sudden, I
feel immense pressure on my two shoulder blads pushing me into the bed
(I always sleep on my stomach). Now, normally you can wake yourself up
from dreams, but from this, I can't. I am fully aware that something
horrible is going on. I feel my heartbeat race and start to panic,
nothing I can do seems to stop it and as I can't see whats going on its
even worse. I can however clinch my fist but its a real struggle.

Then all of a sudden it stops and I wake up feeling really scared. Now
I'm not the type to get scared easy or anything, but it's just how I
feel. Another time, just before the warm safe feeling, I felt what can
only be described as dog feet walking across my bed and duvet. Then it
turned into another episode with the same results. This only happened
once.

I have since moved out with my partner and it has happened again which
leads me to believe it might be sleep paralysis. However I have never
felt so much terror before in my life as when this happens. I feel like
I am being tricked to feel safe and then set upon by something really
nasty. What I am really hoping to achieve is that someone might be able
to relate to this and help in finding out more about it.

An interesting point to add is that my Dad has also suffered from this.
When I told him briefly about it, he explained it to me in detail and it
was scary how similar the symptons were. So if anyone can shed some
light I would be really greatful. Thanks for all your time!
