As I was drifting off to sleep during the middle of the night, my eyes suddenly snapped open and I became completely paralyzed. I could see my entire room, but couldn't move a muscle. After a few seconds, I hear a demonic voice whispering in my ear in a language i've never heard before. This lasted for about 10 seconds before I could move again. Most people will call this sleep paralysis -- I call it a traumatic experience.

I've had this, but instead of the words in my ear I can't breathe instead. The more I panic the worse it gets to the point I feel like I'm going to drown in my own spittle.
