Haha. Banging, knocking, whispers. Yep.

The clawing reminds me of a phase I went through. My cat likes to sleep draped across my legs. For a while there, one of the clues that I'd fallen asleep was that the dream cat would start clawing at me. Other times I start to feel floaty and can juuuuuust barely move, so I'll roll off the bed. Crawl toward a door or window to get 'Into' the dream.

But the sleep paralysis attack cat, that was a bizarre phase.
