When I had sleep paralysis I usually just go back to sleep and wait till it goes away because I was so use to it. But it eventually stopped and I haven't had it in a while!

My body acts out my dreams. My husband gets kicked in the butt or upper thighs a few times. I punch too and flail around. If I lie on my back in my dreams I wake up on my back. I'm also bad for rotating in my sleep like a clock.
However since my TBI 8 years ago I wake up with odd experiences alot. I sit up in bed, I sleep with light coming from the bathroom. Keeps the spirit energy duller. But when I wake up from sleep the whole room is pitch black. I can hear my husband snoring my cat on me kneading me, but its like I'm blind and chest feels heavy like I'm suffocating and my lungs are gone. But I'm sitting up and moving around. Its like as soon as my brain switches on more bamm the room is back to normal. It can happen up to 3 or 4 times a night. I have 3 triggers for my anxiety so I know what anxiety attacks and stress in me is like in symptoms but this...this is so odd.
I know I'm not being attacked its just weird.

Yes, I've experienced it before. I couldn't get to sleep for the rest of the night because I was terrified. Felt as if something evil in the room was with me, here's the weird thing though, I was able to move and everything. It was just the dread feeling that something was inside of the room and I could feel it above me. The vibe of it was very strong and I couldn't shake that feeling off. Anytime I tried to ignore it, it kept getting stronger and stronger, like it wanted me to know it was there. I've never told many people any of this because I feared what people would think of me. That year when I was suffering with Sleep Paralysis the most, I kept the light on in my bedroom because I needed to sleep with the light on in order to feel safe.

Seems there were "shadow cats" involved but it has been ages and can't recall it all but seen "shadow  creatures"for years and they still exist in the restored 150 yr.old house I finally will leave to someone when I pass on, wonder if I'll come back to visit?
