This sort of thing has happened twice in my life and on the second occurence I discovered that although I could not move any parts of my body, I could
still control my breathing, so I forced a puff of air through my closed lips and this woke me up. It might work for others, as long as they don't
sleep with their mouth open.
thanks for the post,my account is nearly exactly the same to yours apart from the black figure.Only my girlfriend witnesses this black figure but from
what she says its the same as yours.
Hello and welcome.
You comment on 'half asleep and half awake' may point to Sleep Paralysis. Though, check into some posts from searching or on the Paranormal
Studies forums, because it could have been an OBE(out of body experience), depending on if you feel or if you body or being(soul spirit) was being
pulled. Being pulled may have been an attack.
