Re: night terror or paranormal activity?
It’s called sleep paralysis, a condition where you are usually confronted with a nightmare (and you might even be aware that you’re dreaming) but you’re incapable of movement/speech. I guess the immobility has something to do with the stage of sleep that you’re in when this occurs. I wonder if the paralysis is the brain’s way of trying to protect you from acting out in a way that may harm you. I’ve also read that there’s a jinn/type of shaitan (not sure which) called Jathoom/Yajthum that is associated with this phenomenon, but I don’t know how authentic this is.
