I used to have this suffocating feeling and pressure on chest during my sleep too but never dreamt of a figure like that. And the part where you were reciting Auzu billah and bismillah shows it could be some waswasa from shaitan. Wa Allah o alam!
I’ve been reading up on it on Wiki and it says that sleep paralysis can be a symptom of narcolepsy or a migraine and other disorders. And certain factors such as sleeping on your back, increased stress, having a lucid dream prior to the night terror, consuming too much alcohol along with prolonged lack of sleep…can trigger the phenomenon. In another website, I read that something as simple as sleeping on your side can reduce chances of having a night terror.
Sometimes when I am sleeping I wake up with this tingling feeling all over my body as if someone is watching me while am sleeping…even though I wake up…I never open my eyes, coz it feels so scary that I dnt want to know what it is…so i jst keep them shut and pretend am still sleeping…
Another one I know of is my mom…when she was a teen, she would sleep walk…and once early morning, she was walking towards the main door of the house, and was unlocking the door to go out, and her older bro saw her, so he went to her to ask her what she was doing, and where she was going. She turned towards him and had made a really scary demonic face at him, and had her hands up in his face ready to claw him…he got so scared that he slapped her in the face to wake her up!!!
After that day, my uncle said that they would put a wet carpet at my mom’s bed, so when she wakes up and puts her feet on the floor she steps on the wet carpet and it wakes her up…
Sup hareem. Hope you are well. Aight…not to scare to ya people but jinns and jinnis exist around us. And they pass by us to bug us.They can see us but we can’t. That is why..read Four Kuls and Ayatulkursi before ya go to sleep.
I used to have a suffocating feeling too, happened a lot as a kid around the age of about 5 or 6 years old. I used to have dreams about massive rocks squashing me and giants jumping on me so I couldn’t breath. Apparently I used to cry in my sleep when I had this dream which really freaked my sisters out
Since childhood whenever I have dreams its like the scene is actually happening..I feel everything in my dream-emotions..feelings..even tears..I get scared..I am watching it happening but cant do anything about it..the moment I wake up I remember the dream and the feeling..weird..
Is sleep paralysis the same or is this a usual dream?
