I had something very similar happen to me but much more than 2 or 3 times and its beginning to happen more often and I do not always sleep on my back, mostly on my side.
The first time it happened was a few years ago back in high school back at home which was about 7 or 8 years ago. After high school I moved out but recently moved back in a few months ago. After my boyfriend passed away this past March I decided to book a flight for california for a month to get away from everything for a bit. One of the nights out there while sleeping I felt like I was being pushed down into the bed, almost felt like someone had their body wrapped around me and wouldn't let me move and I was trying to scream but it was all muffled and then I started to feel like I was suffocating. I remember telling myself to just open my eyes, wake up! Finally i felt a release and I woke up groaning loudly like I was in pain, my friend who was sleeping in the same bed as I was awake at this point trying to comfort me...Last week I was asleep in my bed, now back at home, and I waking up in a dream from a dream and seeing my boyfriend who had passed away, kneeling besides my bed saying slowly "Katie, wake up...they are behind you, wake up Katie" I felt confused. Why was Tristan here? Why didn't any of this feel real? Who did I feel behind me that was beginning to wrap themselves around my body, making me feel terrified? Then out of nowhere I felt like I was almost wrestling this person under my blankets and sheets, I felt myself wanting to cry and scream but nothing was coming out. Finally I open my eyes (in the dream) and see this old lady and am finally able to wake up but wake up screaming "WHAT DO YOU WANT!?" it was terrible. That is the first time out of all the times of that happening to me that I finally saw something or someone scary. I know it sounds like bullshit and you are probably thinking maybe its because I watched a horror movie or my imagination but I'm telling you this felt so real. I could feel this person as you would feel someone touching you when your awake, I could feel the evil, them sucking all the energy out of me.
I have been spending most of my time downstairs and my bedroom is right above it. Today my brothers friend (who is in the other bedroom upstairs hanging out) and myself both heard a something crash upstairs, like something glass had fallen and broken. I thought maybe he dropped something up there but a few minutes later he starts calling down the stairs asking if I had broken something. WE did some investigating but found nothing...
Anyway, this has been going on for years but it is becoming worse, at one point I accepted that I had night terrors and was too embarrassed to speak about it but lately things have been becoming more strange in my house and with my sleep so I plan on going to a nearby church with a few crosses and having them blessed or something and hanging them around the house. I'm not saying its definitely an evil spirit or whatever but it is definitely not paralysis so what else could it be? I recommend you do the same
Feels like someone is smothering me in my sleep! Please help..
