I can’t remember the name of it, but it has to do with the feeling of being held down in your bed and you can’t break loose or scream.
That happened to me last night and it is a terrifying experience.

I remember waking up and looking at my bedroom clock at three in the morning. I heard foot steps going across the floor and a bumping against the bedroom door. All of a sudden something was on me and pressing me down, but nothing was there. I tried to yell, but nothing would come out, or it seemed not to.
The next thing I knew I woke up screaming and realized it was a dream, but it was so real and it was so scary!
